What's new?
o Our March hours are 9-5,
7 days a week.
o We don't have a lot of plant
action going on at the moment, but the gift shop is all abuzz. As
always at this time of year, we're looking to clear out last year's
inventory, so stop in and check out the gift shop stock that is
50% off.
o Are you suffering from Knock-Out
Rose burnout? Then consider the new re-blooming
'Bloomerang' lilac. It's a compact size at 3'-4' tall and wide and
blooms continuously from spring through fall. Syringalicious!
o We're really excited about a new mulch
we're carrying this year called
Preen Mulch Plus -- just what it sounds like. Prevent weeds
while you lay down mulch -- how easy does that sound??
o Pre-order your miniature
'Little Annie' coneflowers now for $12.99 and save $4 off the spring
price. |

A much sought-after flowering
shrub this year will be the
 dwarf
butterfly bush 'Lo and Behold'
This is a breakthrough variety of
buddleia with all the fragrance and butterfly appeal of
traditional varieties in a small, easy to maintain package.
'Lo and Behold' stays under 3 feet tall without any pruning,
and blooms continuously from mid summer to frost without
deadheading. It is frost tolerant, non-invasive and very
easy to grow.
It's also drought-tolerant and
deer-resistant, and a great butterfly and hummingbird
attraSugar Creek Gardens for
exceptional and rare plantsctor. Many gardeners choose to grow them in
containers on the porch or deck so the flowers and wildlife
can be enjoyed up-close. Add it to your wish list for
2010...
