WE’RE BACK!
We are officially opening for our 23rd season on Tuesday, April 4th! We are excited to finally see some color in the greenhouses, but we are even more excited to see our friends and customers!
BAD BUGS, BAD BUGS, WHATCHU GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU?
Good guys vs. Bad guys. No, I’m not talking about a western movie or some NCAA tournament, though we are in the crazy days of March madness. This is the time of year when we have to be very diligent about controlling insect pests that might like to take advantage of the nice tender new growth [...]
PLUMBAGO
The Plumbago - or ceratostigma - is a perennial flower that blooms in the fall! It makes a very lovely ground cover, with leaves that turn red-burgundy during the fall months.
ORNAMENTAL KALE & CABBAGE
Our beautiful ornamental kale and cabbage offer super hearty fall color even through the frost!

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 [...]
MYRA’S PICKS OF THE WEEK 7.18.16

They bloom at the start of the summer and keep blooming, which is a nice feature." Delphinium "They're unique, with a tall stock. The colors are really neat, especially how they blend together. I [...]
