We have a huge selection of perennials to choose from. Not only the tried and
true, but new and unusal varieties as well. We have a very knowledgeable staff
that is more than happy to help you find the perfect plants for your needs. This
year we have enlarged our perennial area again, so please stop in and see the
beauty of summer blooming right before your eyes.
Perennial of the Year for 2008
Geranium "Rozanne" is this years choice for "Perennial of the Year".
This is an amazing plant the deserves to be recognized. It has large,
saucer-shaped, violet-blue flowers with slightly marbled foliage. The semi-vining
habit of this perennial makes it a great container plant with a long bloom time. Be sure to add this one to your garden if you haven't
already.

Tips for Spring in your Garden:
by Shelley our Perennial Gal
I use St. Patrick's Day as my reminder to get out in the garden and check the
progress. This is the perfect time to cut down your Buddleias (Butterfly Bush)
you can cut them to 6 - 8 inches above the ground. Remember these bloom later in
the summer so they will be slower to start in the spring. Give it well into June
before you dig it out thinking it's dead. You'll notice new growth around the
base of the old stems you cut.
What about those Grasses? They've done their job giving you winter
interest now it's time to cut them back. I like to tie a string around the
middle of them then cut them low at the base. This will allow for the new growth
to come up and be fresh without the old grass peaking through. The bundle is
much easier to pick up and less mess of grass blowing all over your yard.
Roses: You'll want to check your roses and this is a perfect time to
go in and prune them back. You want to cut out dead or rubbing branches. Shrub
roses are some of the toughest, and easiest roses to grow. Some you may have
heard of are Knock Out Roses. This is a great new shrub rose that needs little
to no maintenance. Every year the growers come up with more and hardier
varieties.
Hybrid Teas are a little different. You can cut them back to 4inches
from the ground and leave only 3 - 4 good healthy canes. Don't forget that roses
are heavy feeders so add some compost in spring and or start lightly fertilizing
when you see the nice red new grow starting. A rose fertilizer cut in half every
2 weeks.
