What's new and exciting for 2013

4/17/2013

If you're anything like me, I love looking through garden magazines this time of year. Just think, in a few short weeks, we'll have lush green lawns to play on; spectacularly blooming patio pots to welcome us home; and borders filled with bountiful blooms to encourage the butterflys, birds and showcase our homes perfectly. Okay, maybe I get a *little* carried away with my daydreams of summer landscapes & gardens....

Looking through those magazines, though, you may notice the ads for new & exciting plants! P. Allen Smith puts his name on some of the best performers developed by Proven Winners, and Ball Ornaments markets reliable showstopping bloomers as well. These plants aren't available just through retail shops, we can get our hands on them too!

Here are a few photographs of this year's hottest flowering shrubs. Let us show you how we can incorporate them into your landscaping.
