What’s New?
Unlike spring which is often short- lived and followed by several months of hot summer weather, fall usually lasts a long time in southern Illinois. Cool nights and moderate daytime temperatures are conducive to root development and plant growth. Plants experience less stress when transplanted during the cooler months of autumn. And since our ground rarely freezes before January, September, October and even early November are excellent months to plant trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses, ground covers and fall flowers like pansies, mums, asters.
The Proven Winner shrubs are all stocked up. We have Limelight and Bobo hydrangeas, Bloomerang lilac, Bloom-A-Thon azaleas, Sonic Bloom weigela, Miss Molly butterfly bush, Purple Pillar Rose of Sharon, and Infinitini crape myrtle. We also have Proven Winner native shrubs like Low Scape Mound aronia (chokeberry), Scentlandia and Little Henry itea (sweetspire), Brandywine viburnum, Sugar Shack buttonbush, Artic Fire dogwood and Gatsby Star oakleaf hydrangea.
We are now offering a great selection of highly sought after FoxFarm (Fox Farm) fertilizers. Their specially formulated line of soils promotes massive growth in your plants, flowers, vegetables or whatever else you want to see thrive.
Call or e-mail us if you’re looking for a particular plant or new variety. We strive to carry all the good new stuff, but only if it works in our climate.
