#1  Roses are perfect for every occasion

We have a really nice selection of Jackson and Perkins hybrid teas, climbers, David Austin rose, Knock-Out Roses, and carpet roses.  And if you're really nice, you'll offer to plant it for her, too (just a suggestion). 

This beauty is 'Windmere,' one of our David Austin roses. 

Roses start at $26.99.

 

 

 


#2  Roses not her cup of tea? Be truly daring and give her a Thailand Giant elephant ear.

These babies were the talk of St. Louis last year -- and it's obvious why.  Growing 7'-12' with leaves 6' long and 4' wide, 'Thailand Giant' prefers full sun to part shade with lots of moisture and fertilizer.

It will stop traffic in your garden, guaranteed!

Our plants are young, which saves you money -- only $13.99, but they will get quite substantial in size in one growing season.

 

 

 

 

 

 


#3  For the more traditional mother, give a beautiful pre-planted container for sun or shade

Tina has outdone herself this year with her supply of already planted pots.  They can be enjoyed as-is, or dropped into an existing ceramic planter.  Prices start at #39.99.


#4   These flower vases are pretty even when they're empty

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prices are $9.99 to 12.99.


#5   It's a fact: Mother's love gift certificates, especially from Sugar Creek Gardens'

This woman just received a Sugar Creek Gardens' gift certificate, and I think her expression says it all...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


#6  The hottest shrub of the year -- the repeat-blooming 'Bloomerang' lilac.  She'll enjoy lilac bouquets all season long

It blooms big in the spring, rests for a month while it sets new buds, then blooms again -- then repeats this process through the entire summer.

Grows to only 4' x 4' and for best flowering, prefers full sun.

We've got this hard-to-find shrub for only $34.99.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


#7  Our 'Endless Summer' and 'Twist-n-Shout' hydrangeas are in full bloom

Only $34.99 for drop-dead gorgeousness!


#8  Our dwarf peach trees -- perfect in containers -- are full of fruit!

This little cutie is perfect for containers on the deck or patio and will reach only 5' tall.  They're setting fruit now, so you can watch them develop throughout the summer in time for a late season harvest.

'Bonanza' is self-fertile, so another plant is not necessary for pollination. And maybe your mom will make you a peach pie...

Only $42.99.

 

 

 


#9  The must-have hydrangea of 2010 is the 'Invincibelle Spirit' -- and we have them loaded with buds

The world's first "pink 'Annabelle,' " 'Invincibelle Spirit' is a relative of the native hydrangea, so is super easy to grow and right now -- loaded with pink buds.  Reaches about 3' x 3' and is quite floriferous.  And $1 from every plant sold will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

 

 

 

 

 


#10  Last but not least -- please give your mother a hug and a kiss without being asked

Cost:  priceless.
