PANSIES — Your Secret to EARLY COLOR

Pansies: Your early spring secret!

Pansies

Your Secret to Early Color!
The garden house is open, and while it's too early for most annuals without protection, pansies are ready to plant and enjoy immediately. These cold-hardy blooms thrive all the way down to 25°F—just cover them if temps dip lower. 

For the best blooms:
  • Morning sun + afternoon shade = blooms without scorching
  • Use a fertilizer that's high in potassium and low in nitrogen to encourage flowering
  • Water deeply, not daily. Let soil dry between waterings.
Pansies offer a reliable head start to the gardening season, bridging the gap between winter’s chill and spring’s full bloom. Stop by to explore our selection—we’re here to help your garden flourish, one season at a time.

 

Perennial Powerhouses:

Plant Once, Harvest Forever!

We’re expanding our lineup of perennial food plants with potted rhubarb, asparagus, everbearing strawberries, and wild strawberries—joining our already robust selection of grapes, blueberries, raspberries, and more.
  • Native Wild strawberries: Small, intensely flavorful, and fast-spreading as a groundcover in sun to partial shade, our native wild strawberries are also an ecological superstar, supporting over 64 local species that rely on their foliage and nectar. 
  • Everbearing strawberries: These varieties fruit all season long for an extended home harvest.
  • Rhubarb: Our potted Victoria rhubarb brings classic tart flavor to cobblers and pies.
  • Asparagus: Potted Purple Passion and Jersey Giant varieties are both in stock, for hardy, long-lived harvests.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting, these perennials offer delicious, low-maintenance harvests year after year. Explore our selection, and get a head start on spring!

Weed-free soil?
Mulch delivers!

Spring is here, and it’s time to give your garden a little TLC. Mulch not only enhances the beauty of your landscape but also locks in soil moisture, smothers weeds, and protects plant roots. From March 17th to April 19th, Hoerr Nursery is offering FREE local delivery on orders of 1–3 tons of hardwood or dyed mulch. For larger or non-local orders, enjoy a $75 discount! Call 309-689-2513 today to schedule your delivery and revitalize your yard.
We have the perfect mulch for every need: 
  • Shredded Hardwood Bark Mulch: A professional-grade mulch with naturally deep color that retains moisture and insulates plants.
  • Virgin Dyed Mulch: Safe for people and pets! This vibrant, non-toxic dyed mulch available in brown, red, and black—perfect for adding color contrast. Unlike much of the dyed mulch on the market, it is free of pallet wood, making it free of potential toxins like chromated copper arsenate and methyl bromide. 
  • Kiddie Cushion: An Engineered Wood Fiber (EWF) product, Kiddie Cushion is made from a combination of virgin wood chips and 10-20% wood fines, which provides the ideal amount of compaction for a safe play surface. If you have a playground area in need of an update, or you simply prefer a lighter shade of wood mulch, Kiddie Cushion is the mulch for you.  
  • Pine Bark Fines: Ideal as a soil amendment, or acidifier—great for blueberries and other acid-loving plants. Pine bark fines are an eco-friendly byproduct of the lumber industry. 

Order now!
This limited-time offer ends April 19th. Call Hoerr Nursery at 309-689-2513 today to schedule your delivery. Whether you need 1 ton or 10, we’ll bring it straight to your door. Make your garden amazing this spring!
