Summer Update/Fall Preview!

Now that the heat has broken we thought we would give you inspiration for beating the ‘dog days of summer’!

Shrubs in bloom now- Hydrangeas, Rose of Sharon, Blue Caryopteris, Butterfly bush and more. Give them a try - summer blooming shrubs tend to be drought tolerant and long blooming - great for the ‘dog days’.

Try Summer Blooming Perennials
We have perennial hardy Hibiscus ( WOW!) perennial Mums and Asters, Crocosmia, Coreopsis, Dwarf Delphinium, Russian Sage, Phlox, Daisies and many many more. We are getting another ‘Perennial blast’ shipment this Wednesday!

Fall bulbs - arriving the last week of August.
Many new and traditional rodent repellent and resistant varieties - try them amongst any plantings that are currently being visited by unwelcome garden pests!

End of August Arrivals
Our Icicle Pansies, fall containers, more Mums (including a giant hardy perennial series) Kale, Fall peppers, mini Coral bells etc
