Superior Plants Direct From Our Greenhouses To Your Home 

Positioning Plants: Flowers used in a garden area brighten up any home. You do not have to plant a big garden to enjoy beautiful flowers all season long. Accent a focal spot such as around a lamp post or bird bath. Decorate around the deck or patio with a border of color. Plant up a bare spot or problem area to polish your surroundings.

Potting Plants: For healthier plants and more blooms, we recommend replacing the soil in your containers every year. Plants use the nutrients in the soil to grow, and watering washes the nutrients out of the containers. Use a commercial potting soil in your containers-not top soil. Top soil is too heavy to permit adequate drainage in containers (garden beds must be fertilized every year for the same reasons).

Selecting Plants: Every flower has its place, but when you want blooms and continuous color from planting until frost, you want annuals. Annuals make a bold, consistent look enjoyed throughout the season. Perennials grow back year after year but bloom for a short period of time and do require regular maintenance.

The varieties we have selected are easy to grow. But different plants like different growing conditions. When choosing your plants, think about where you would like to put them. Different plants prefer different conditions. Please refer to the sun symbols listed by each plant. All of the plants we carry can be grown across the country, but some do better in specific areas than others. All plants are considered annuals but may last year round in areas with no frost. Complete growing information will be included with your order.

Preparing Flower Beds: For flower beds, a little preparation before planting will greatly improve plant growth. Prepare your soil bed before planting by digging it up and turning over the soil in your bed to at least 10" deep. This fluffs up the soil making it easier for the roots to grow into it.

Watering Plants: Plants benefit from deep, infrequent watering rather than frequent, light watering (soaker hoses work well in flower beds). Try to water early in the day. Containers only have a limited amount of soil and dry out quickly. Water with medium pressure and count to ten when watering. Make sure the water is coming out of the bottom of the pot. Containers may have to be watered every day.

Dealing with Poor Soil: If you have poor soil in your garden beds, there are two methods of correcting the problem. This first method is to add compost, peat moss, or manure to enrich your soil bed. It may be necessary to do this for a few years to build up the organic matter in your soil. The second and lifelong solution is to take out the soil in your bed to 12" deep and replace it with a good top soil bought from a reputable source.     Be Sure To Order Our Special Soil
