GROWING YOUR BUSINESS FROM THE GROUND UP SINCE 1890



Growing your business from the ground up since 1890

Dear Customer, This has certainly been a year of tremendous change in our evolving Horticultural industry. With the faster pace of our culture people are wanting things in shorter time frames. This includes the unchanging beauty of the products we sell. But even as our consumer demographics change, the need for our products remains strong. Fortunately, plants have come to represent something that humanity cannot live without. Each year we look forward to the new varieties that come from the hard work of the breeder community. Syngenta has five new seed series and two new vegetative series for us to consider. Our front cover features the strong branching Begonia “Tophat™ Pink”. Tophat™ is ideal for large pots and landscape planting. Tophat™ White, on our back cover, is the first white in this extra-large type begonia class! From Begonias to Zinnias, Syngenta has a top quality lineup in seed. The Geranium “Moxie™ series is the next-generation interspecific hybrid combining the greenhouse production performance of Tango and the landscape performance of Calliope. In addition to the Calibrachoa Cabrio™ series, they are bringing over fifty new colors to existing series. Congratulations Danziger! Danziger is entering their 65th year in business and is making their mark on the horticultural market with research that leads to breeding extraordinary flower varieties for the world market. In Calibrachoa, the new LIA™ series will deliver larger flowers with a controlled habit for basket production. The addition of the new Sun Harmony Orchid fits the spring to fall performance for which this series is known. Green Fuse Botanicals will have you ordering on Calibrachoa Cruze ® Control mode. The Orange Delicious is the most striking orange color on the market. New for this year is Rudbeckia Rising Sun®; huge flowers and daylength neutrality make this an easy choice for your spring production. When it comes to a “wow factor”, Salvia Grandstand ® Red Lipstick Pink gives you a spectacular red and pink bicolor flower that performs all summer. Suntory is launching the Brindabella™ Rose series with seven colors. Durable and densely foliaged, this series is very resistant to black spot and powdery mildew. With large double fragrant flowers, this series will be a welcome line-up. The new Sun Parasol ® Giant Marbled Crimson is another show stopper in the Mandevilla class. Performance and heat tolerance matches the popular Sun Parasol Giant group. After re-evaluating our processes and implementing changes inside Michell’s, we look to deliver on your expectations for improved customer service. In addition to streamlining our business processes for faster and more consistent handling of orders through to shipping and billing, we continue to make enhancements to our Website to allow better search capabilities, live availabilities from key vendors, multiple ship date ordering, and soon the ability to change orders online. Thank you once again for your continued business and partnership; have a successful year in 2019! Sincerely,

Henry F. Michell 4th President & CEO

THYRSIFLORA

Multi-colored rosettes grow similar in form to a bush. The rosette center is pale yellow and the larger leaves become progressively greener as they work from the center out culminating in a brilliant red edge. Aeonium Kiwi produces yellow flowers in the summer; is drought tolerant, prefers bright sun, and is cold hardy to about 25-30 degrees. Water thoroughly but infrequently so the soil has a chance to dry out.

A symmetrical solitary rosette showcases hues from powdery white to gray to pink to purple; it produces pink flowers on long stems in the summer. Full sun enhances the leaves’ pink shades and encourages a compact growth habit. It is cold hardy to 25 degrees, water occasionally to often.

This variety has a host of nicknames, including flapjack, paddle plant, dog tongue, dessert cabbage, and ice sculpture. The fleshy, paddle-like gray green leaves develop a red tinge with full sun. The mature plants produce a yellow flower in the spring. They are drought tolerant, cold tolerant to about 30 degrees but won’t tolerate a frost. Water thoroughly but allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

Echeveria BLACK PRINCE Deep purple, almost black rosettes, start out greenish but darken with age. Black Prince produces orange-red flowers in the late fall to early winter. Full sun produces the best color, cold hardy to 25 degrees. This variety needs well drained soil with only occasional waterings. 20  Michell’s 2019

Echeveria TOPSY TURVY (RUNYONII) With its origins in Mexico, this fast-growing succulent has silver-gray leaves which curve out and up. The leaf tips point back to the center of the plant, earning its nickname ‘Topsy Turvy’. This variety produces orange/apricot-colored flowers on tall, arching stems in late summer/ early fall. It is cold hardy and drought tolerant. Grows best when watered at regular intervals. Keep in a well-drained soil.

Sempervivum COBWEB BUTTONS Slow growing, tight, pale green rosettes form a gray webbing over their center leaves and produces pink flowers in the summer. Cobweb Buttons is drought tolerant, prefers sun or light shade in well drained soil, infrequent waterings cold hardy to 0 degrees and lower.

Controlled, upright habit with little to no vining. Compact plants display large 3” trumpet-shaped blooms in abundance, in rich, clear colors. These heat lovers will flower all summer long, in full sun, with minimal care.

This ornamental topiary is characterized by its small, green leaves and delicate branches. Eugenia is a resilient shrub that is easily trimmed to retain the desired form, and grows best in full sun. Performs best when kept moist.

Distinguished by its regal, upright form, dark green fronds and bushy habit, Kimberly Queen performs best in bright, indirect sunlight but tolerates more direct sun than a Boston Fern. Ideal in large urns at entryways, on the patio, or in any partly shaded outdoor space given ample moisture through the hot summer months.

The Boston Fern is prized for its long arching fronds that cascade gracefully as the plant matures. This classic favorite requires bright indirect light and high humidity to flourish, especially indoors, and is ideal for outdoor shaded areas during the summer months in urns, planters and hanging baskets.

Gardenias are known for their unmistakable fragrance and white to cream colored large blossoms showcased against dark green, shiny foliage. They require regular watering and full sun to partial shade. Gardenias are a great choice for containers or raised beds. Available as 6” and 10” Bush, 10” Braid and 10” Standard.
