Now on sale! If empty areas of your garden have you singing the blues, it might be time to plant them instead! Whether planted under trees or shrubs, along borders or walls, or to fill the spaces in between, the dazzling blue flowers of perennial plumbago are hard to beat. This herbaceous groundcover tolerates a wide range of soil types, is well suited for shady areas of the garden, and in the fall the cool blue blooms give way to rich red autumn foliage.

June is both Perennial Month and Pollinator Month! 🦋 The backbones of our entire ecosystem, the world as we know it wouldn't exist without our pollinators. Protecting this planet we share means protecting these tiny creatures, their homes, and their sources of food. Perennials provide bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and so many other unsung heroes with the nourishment and shelter they need to keep on flutterin'. We even carry true natives and nativars!

Also, bee on the lookout for more details about our upcoming Pollinator Festival on June 27 and 28! 🐝

It's time for summer: pools are opening, kids are home from school, and bagworms are already being spotted in the area causing a nuisance! Be on the lookout for these pests, which can harm your trees by eating their foliage.

The especially love cypress, cedars, spruce, junipers, and arborvitae. Even sacks left over from last year could be full of eggs ready to hatch and wreak havoc.

The best way to combat them is to get out there now and pick off any you see forming bags or nests in your trees. We also have plenty of Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew, and the time to spray is now!
