Spring is flying fast, and so is our spring selection of seasonal spring plants- annuals, herbs, veggies, fruits, roses, and spring shrubs. Read on for a quick look at our "last chance" seasonals, plus a preview of what summer will bring!
Don't miss out on veggies & herbs!
If you haven't gotten around to planting your vegetable/herb garden, you lost some of your earlier plantings, or you always manage to find room for just one more plant, come in and shop our selection of veggies and unique herbs. Right now we have everything from Chervil to Patchouli, but our spring stock changes from day to day!
Every Rose Has a Story
Each May we receive a special shipment of all kinds of roses. They disappear quickly, but we've still got plenty of stunners! Allow us to profile a few stellar examples:
Top and center left are 'Princesse Charlene de Monaco'
and 'Moonlight Romantica' from venerable French rose breeder Meilland (the originator of the famed 'Peace' rose.) Their 'Romantica' line is the French answer to English Rose breeder David Austin's effort to reintroduce the hardiness and heady scent of heritage roses into modern rose breeds.
Bottom left is 'Tess of the d’Urbervilles,' a suitably dramatic climber from David Austin themselves, hardy down to -30F!
On the top right is 'Hope for Humanity,' an extraordinarily tough Canadian rose named in honor of the 100th anniversary of their Red Cross.
'Memorial Day' rounds out this rose showcase on the bottom right, with its unusual orchid blooms and scalloped petals. The work of legendary rose breeder Tom Carruth, this is All-American Rose Selection winner has an old-rose fragrance that can fill a room!
If you're looking to add a rose with character to your garden this year, hurry in! Our 2021 selection of floribundas and grandifloras are going fast!
Celebrate Summer
If you've never witnessed our summer perennial yard in full glory or seen dozens of different hydrangeas blooming all at once, schedule a summer trip to Hoerr Nursery!
Rita and the rest of Green Team have been busy growing a special crop of summer annuals so that you can replace those pooped-out pansies with warm season winners like Suncredible Sunflower, annual Black-Eyed Susan, Zinnia, Salvia, Lantana, Euphorbia, Coleus, Sweet Potato Vine, Dahlia, Pentunia/Supertunia, Bidens, Fountain Grass and Plectranthus. We've got a few early items out now, but look for the rest to arrive by late June.
The butterfly house will be out in the yard again this year, and we'll be raising caterpillars in it as soon as they start to appear. If you've never seen the transformation process up close (or if you just can't get enough of it!) come and have a look from around midsummer onward.
New garden goodies will continue to arrive into summer, including art glass hummingbird feeders, garden stakes, and outdoor furniture. Around midsummer we'll also be expecting new statuary.
June 30th is the last day to rack up Hardy Bucks on your Garden Center purchases. Hardy Buck redemption runs from July 15th-August 15th, so pull those Hardy Bucks out from the back of your drawer and clip them to your calendar.
See you soon!
