Deer Resistant Beautyberry in the Fall

Beautyberry has unique purple berries that hang on through the fall. The berries stand out brilliantly as the foliage starts to change and drop. And, almost as important as the look, another deer resistant shrub!

Firelight Hydrangea for Late Summer Color

Firelight hydrangea is a gorgeous, sun-loving hydrangea that changes from white to deep pink blossoms over a five to six week period (weather permitting). Great for late summer color and big blooms for dried arrangements!

Fall Vegetables Have Arrived!

Fall vegetables have started to arrive! We have broccoli, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, assorted lettuce, and Swiss chard. More to come over the next few weeks!

Incorporate Bird Baths into Your Landscape

Splash Splash, birds taking a bath! Don’t forget our feathered friends during this unbearable heat. Did you know birds don’t sweat. They remove any excessive body heat via respiration. Water is a MUST for them during the hot humid months of Summer. Help the birds with one of our colorful birdbaths, including the always popular granite. A lovely addition to incorporate into your landscape! And birds taking a bath are always fun to watch 😊.

“Baby Joe” Pye Weed Available in Our Perennials

This little gem is loved by the pollinators, “Baby Joe” Pye Weed. A fabulous addition to those who are short on space in their landscape.

It supplies butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees with vital nectar. “Baby Joe” really shines when planted in a grouping. Full to part sun, likes moist well-drained soil, generally deer resistant.

Fizzy Mizzy Available in the Nursery

“Fizzy Mizzy”, sounds like it should be a tropical 🍹 libation, right? “Fizzy Mizzy” is actually one of our all time favs. Also known as Itea virginica, or Sweet Spire, this NATIVE has a tidy upright growth habit with fragrant white flower spikes. “Fizzy Mizzy” attracts pollinators 🦋🐝, is generally deer resistant, grows approx. 2 to 3 feet high and wide with average water needs. Likes sun but will tolerate a shady location. All in all a good overall bet for your landscape. Available in the nursery.

Hydrangeas Available in the Nursery

A sea of color! Hydrangeas are long-lived shrubs that offer big colorful blooms throughout summer and into fall, when many other shrubs have completed their show. So many enticing shades of white, cream, pink, blue, and red. The big, rounded flower clusters make handsome dried arrangements. Hydrangeas can be quite the “show off” in your garden. Available in the nursery.
