Pansies & Violas

A Seasonal Favorite!

Nothing screams cooler weather is on the way quite like pansies and violas! This annual although delicate in appearance is very resilient and tough, it is able to survive freezes and frosts and will last through spring. Stop in this weekend to shop them in 4″ containers and hanging baskets.

See more annuals here.

Japanese Maples

A Unique Tree!

Looking for a unique tree to add to your garden? Consider adding a Japanese Maple! These ornamental trees are sought after for their unique shapes and stunning seasonal foliage. These are an understory tree that require shade in the afternoon, making them a great understory tree. Varieties we have received include Orangeola, Crimson Queen, Shaina and more.

Learn more about Japanese Maples here.

Redbuds

Plant Now for Spring Blooms!

A Texas favorite deciduous tree with year-round interest. Redbuds are an amazing tree to add in your garden, it’s not only gorgeous, but is also loved by local wildlife and pollinators. Enjoy stunning foliage in the summer and fall which are later followed by purple and pink blooms along the branches in the spring.

Onion & Garlic Bulbs

It’s Bulb Season!

It’s time to start your onion, garlic, and shallots! Each bulb will grow into an entire plant. Bulbs prefer fertile soil that is loose and well-drained. Both can be planted in the fall for summer harvest. Place each bulb root-side down in a hole. Plant in fall to harvest and enjoy in spring
