May Is In Bloom!

It's that time of year when everything is blooming. From our annuals, geraniums and petunias that are perfect for decorating your patio and front porch to lilac and cherry blossoms in flower with their heavenly scent.  You can't go wrong this spring so come out and start stocking up on your flowers and plants.

We can even help you get started on picking up the necessities so you can get started putting together your flowered pots and containers and keeping them as vibrant as the day you purchased them.  What do you do? Well here are some great tips on what you need to get started!

Potting Flowers and Plants:
  • Make sure your flower pots have drainage at the bottom - water must be able to drain out so your plants don’t drown
  • Potting mix is a must - choose lightweight potting mix that has tons of nutrients
  • Plant food - your plants need to eat too! Although not necessary, it's definitely a plus to keep your plants looking vibrant and fresh
  • Flowering plants - choose the best flowers suited for containers...here are just a few of many we offer
    • Geraniums
    • Ferns
    • Ivy
    • Marigolds
    • Perennials
    • Petunias
    • Herbs
Tip: Make sure you purchase enough flowers and plants to fill the containers of your choice, making sure to leave a couple inches between them for growth.
