Spring 2015
One Fun Mum
A clean green mum
Now, this is truly a mum of a different color and I have to say it’s intriguing. Did you take a second glance? Yes, that’s actually a flower and not simply part of the foliage. Once the initial novelty wears off, I think you’ll agree that this bold, clean green holds a wealth of design potential.
Autumn Edibles as Ornamentals
This year’s Autumn Idea Book
Our Autumn Idea Book shipped recently—full of fresh design inspiration and our beautiful plants for fall. Last week we talked about cool weather veggies; this week we’d like to take our discussion a bit further, to include some other tasty produce that features prominently among our décor varieties for the season.
Fresh Veggies for Fall
Still plenty of time to enjoy fresh veggies
We have a large assortment of autumn edibles in the popular 1801 flat size. These delicious, healthy greens and veggies perform best in the cool fall weather—so crisp, fresh salads and stir-fries can continue on even after summer ends.
Crazytunias—New for Fall
Shake up fall décor
Breeders from Westflowers have been getting creative and as a result we have our new Crazytunias for fall. This unique series offers dramatic flower colors and patterns—kind of a wild spin on the novelty petunia. We like to shake things up when it comes to autumn décor, especially during the lead up to Halloween—and these crazy petunias are sure to turn some heads.
Display Gardens for Field Day 2016
Get your questions ready
I’d like to take some time over the next couple of weeks to walk you through our Display Gardens for Field Day. As I’ve mentioned, we’ve been hard at work planning and planting these beds, to maximize their educational value. Take a few notes now, and compare this first glimpse to the mature plants you see up close and in person on Field Day. Start jotting down those questions, too—Field Day is meant to be an interactive learning experience for all of us.
