In Full Swing

Posted on by

CallibrachoaWe are in the full swing of spring here at the nursery. With deliveries arriving four times a week, things are really hopping!

Looking for summer color? Wave petunias, garden geraniums, million bells, and a variety of hanging baskets may be just the ticket.

We still have bareroot strawberries and seed potatoes, but Mother Nature has brought the rest of bareroot season to an end. We’ll keep our Bareroot Lists posted in the Nursery News Menu (right sidebar) so you can see what we typically carry. (Some of these varieties will be available in containers.)

Things change fast in the nursery this time of year, so stop in to see what’s new!

Spring Plant Showcase

We have received some really exciting and spectacular plants this week. So spectacular (we think!) that we’ve put together another “Plant Showcase”.  Check out the reblooming, evergreen Encore Azaleas, hardy (yes, hardy) Crape Myrtles, dwarf butterfly bushes, drift roses, a raspberry plant that does well in pots, and so much more.

Our e-News, website visitors, and Facebook fans are receiving an early preview of the Plant Showcase. The rest of the community will get to see photos of these great plants in next Wednesday’s Trinity Journal.

We hope you enjoy this showcase selection of new and exciting plants we think you’ll love! They all have unique characteristics and are cold-hardy. We have many more gorgeous plants than we can showcase here, so please stop in the nursery to see them all!
