Thanks so much for supporting us this spring! We had a great time in the greenhouses this spring and loved sharing it with all of you. As always, enjoy your flowers!

Presto Pesto!
We adore Pesto Perpetuo! Its name almost sounds like part of a magician's act- "Pesto Perpetuo!" And compared to traditional basil this one has trick up its sleeve. Its flashy foliage is worthy of any herb garden and looks great in mixed containers, too! But even better: it will not flower! And of course, that means that it will continue to grow without depending on you to pinch back those pesky flowers. Magic!

Imperfectly Perfect
Every now and again we'll stumble onto a "fluke" in the greenhouses. Sometimes it's due to human error (right now, one of my favorite hanging basket combos is my favorite because it's a mistake!), and sometimes it's just out of our control. Mother Nature is always up to something... can you see it?

Late Bloomers
It's not unusual for some plants to be overlooked the first several weeks of spring. After the seemingly endless months of winter we crave color. No wonder there's so much love for gerberas! So the "late bloomers" are overlooked... and overlooked... and overlooked. And in many cases (certainly this one!), in time they will make themselves known!
Who doesn't love a good flower? Begonia boliviensis 'Bonfire', or Bonfire begonias are hands-down one of our favorite late bloomers of the spring. When they're ready, they erupt with color and simply are impossible to ignore:
Beautiful... and versatile, too! Bonfires are just as happy in shade as they are in the sun. Isn't it great when plants give you options? Mix in some Solanum and Evolvulus for a hot pot out by the pool, or try it with Streptocarpella and Illumination vinca vine under the porch. So easy, and you can never go wrong with primary colors!

Give Back Those Pots!
Yup, you read that right- we want our pots back! We'll gladly take those empty pots and trays off your hands. There's just three simple guidelines:
- Bring empty pots, hanging baskets and trays that came from OUR greenhouse. We are unable to keep items from other greenhouses and will have to send them back home with you.
- Drop them off during retail hours, please.
- Keep your tags! They're the perfect way to keep track of what you planted each year (and they make plant shopping the next year a breeze!).
Feel free to email or comment with any questions. Happy Planting!
