Planting fall color with pansies and violas? Consider adding some snapdragons and wallflowers for added height and early spring flowers. These plants can tolerate our average winter and will put on a real show when spring arrives!

Get ‘em while they’re HOT! Ornamental
peppers are a great way to spice up a fall planting. We have several varieties now.

It may not feel like it now, but Fall starts next week! We have cool-season flowers if you want to plant now.

It sure has been a hot summer. We know it’s been awhile since our last post. However, we have been working hard for you. We have perennials in bloom, pumpkins on the table, cool-season veggies and mums starting to crack with color! Pansies and snapdragons are on standby for next week. See you soon!

Bennett Nurseries offers our sincere condolences to the Larkin family on the passing of Robert “Bob” Larkin. For many, many years, Bob and his wife, Leo had graced the nursery with their beautiful music during our busy weekends in spring and fall. There are thousands of visitors that have fond memories of visiting our gardens while he played his violin for both adults and children alike. Bob, you will be missed.

View Robert "Bob" Larkin's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

Well, it never fails. We always say to wait until April before planting your summer vegetables and flowers. You never can tell when Spring in the South shows a surprise winter dip. Don’t worry, we’re almost there!

New perennial/biennial (not really new, but new to us)! Introducing Erysium, aka Wallflower. This little beauty blooms in spring and fall, prefers sun and good drainage. The yellow one in the picture has been planted at the nursery for 2 years. We have Magenta ready now, with other colors available this spring.
