Larson’s Geraniums Update
Hello! After another seriously cold spell this past weekend, our temperatures in Connecticut are getting back to normal and we’re looking forward to more spring-like weather. The Red-wing Blackbirds have returned, and the daffodils are starting to push through the mulch! Many of you have already placed your Alpine Ivy Geranium order for this season, and [...]
WINTERBERRY HOLLY BUSHES
We have an amazing selection of winterberry holly bushes available, which feature spectacular berry displays in the fall and early winter.

The mums will start to bloom at the beginning of the fall season. Cady took advantage of the shade provided by some of [...]
TREE FORM HYDRANGEA
Tree Form Hydrangea is a great garden accent! Its neat tree form is bursting with long-lasting flowers that will bloom from late summer all through fall! It also has excellent winter hardiness, too, noted Joyce. Easy to grow, the Tree Form Hydrangea is always a favorite for its striking beauty.
MUMS ARE COMING!
Mums, mums everywhere! Just like in previous years, we are offering a huge, giant, spectacular selection of mums in all different colors and varieties. The majority of our mums were planted on June 10, so they're less than two months old. They may just be green now, but wait until you see the brilliant sea of [...]
