Annuals
An annual is a plant that completes its life cycle, from seed to bloom and back to seed again all in a single growing season. For joys of constant color in beds or containers, annuals are the best. Simple to plant, easy to maintain, annuals can turn your yard into a beautiful garden almost instantly and provide color and visual appeal all summer long.
Gardeners love annuals because of the numerous varieties and long-lasting blooms. You can plant different annuals year after year and never run out of choices of shape and color. As with music or food, familiarity with annual flowers deepens your enjoyment of them. Since annuals complete their life cycle in one growing season and because our growing season is limited, sowing seed directly into the garden after all danger of frost is past makes it too late to start many of these plants outside. We start growing our annuals while there is still snow on the ground. By the time you are ready to plant you will find our vast selection of annuals perfect for any of your garden projects.
Perennials
There are few things that bring more pleasure than the return of perennials each year. Perennials, compared to annuals, bloom year after year (the word “perennial” is the Latin term for “perpetual”). Most perennials disappear during the winter and sprout again in the spring. Trees and shrubs which produce bark are also perennials that can remain green and grow larger every year.
With careful planning, a perennial flower bed will change colors as one type of plant finishes and another variety begins to bloom. By combining early, mid-season, and late-blooming perennials, a continuous colorful show can be displayed. Also, since perennials have a limited blooming period of about 3 to 4 weeks, deadheading –the removal of old blooms– is not as required often to keep them blooming. However, they do require pruning and maintenance to keep them attractive. We carry a large variety of perennials and have an entire greenhouse devoted to them. Our helpful staff stands ready to help you create the perfect perennial garden for your area.
Trees & Shrubs
A well designed landscape uses trees and shrubs to create the space. You can quickly fill in large areas in your lawn or create a private area with a stretch of trees or shrubs. Trees and shrubs are also great investment in your property, they provide shade on your lawn, offer an aesthetic value home buyers desire, and strengthen the soil to prevent erosion. We have a great selection of trees and shrubs that will fit your landscape, and we have the knowledgeable staff to assist you in choosing the best combination for your yard.
