Fall is the Time to Plant!

There is no better time for planting all sorts of exciting things in your garden! Trees, shrubs, and perennials are best planted in fall, as the cooler temperatures and more frequent rainfall provide the optimal conditions for them to become established. The roots have time to develop and will continue growing right into winter, while the leafy portion of the plants slow down for winter dormancy. These well-established plants have then completed all of the hard work before spring arrives, and it’s time to put on new growth.

Fall is also the perfect time to plant spring-blooming bulbs. Gardeners dreaming of drifts of Daffodils and tulips can prepare those displays in autumn to enjoy in spring. (See pg 49 for a quick and easy bulb-planting tip.)

Fall is also your second season of vegetable harvest.

Starting your cool-season crops at the end of summer allows for an additional rotation of fresh garden veggies before winter settles in.

Pearl-Bush Snow Day™ Blizzard NEW!

(Exochorda; PPAF) It’s hard to find a plant with a more fitting name than this Pearl-Bush! A gorgeous, easy-care shrub, Blizzard covers itself in late spring with loads of extra-large blooms that are about twice the size of those on its beloved relative, The Bride. A traditional favorite for beds and borders, it’s adaptable to most soils, although it does prefer welldrained, acidic ones. Blizzard can be pruned to keep it small or trained to be grown as a small tree. However you choose to grow it, Blizzard is sure to delight you with its masses of snowy flowers! 1-quart container.

Peonies–Long-lasting Garden Beauties!

One of the longest-living perennials, Peonies can literally last for generations! Exceptionally carefree once established, these gorgeous plants offer three seasons of beauty, with colorful spring and fall foliage and blooms in various shades of yellow, white, pink, rose, crimson, scarlet, or purple. The single, double, or semi-double blooms can even display more than one color and are often deliciously fragrant! Equally suited for the garden or the vase, Peonies provide old-fashioned charm plus armloads of stunning blooms.

Peony Angel Cheeks (Paeonia lactiflora) The underside of each pink petal is striped red! A stunning pink “bomb” from Carl Klehm! These blooms are 5 inches wide, packed with petals, and boast red stripes on the underside! Arising in midseason, they are pleasantly fragrant and just right for cutting. The plant is stocky and strong, too, with disease-resistant foliage and good cold-hardiness. Happy in any good garden soil, Angel Cheeks is ideal for the border or as an accent planting! Bareroot.

Peony Abalone Pearl

(Paeonia lactiflora) An early-blooming Peony with semi-double flowers that change color as they mature! Begin the Peony season with one of the most colorful and fascinating varieties ever to come along—semi-double Abalone Pearl, from master Peony breeder, William Krekler. These coral-to-pink-washed, lightly fragrant blooms begin as fat 3-inch coral globes, then burst open to reveal colorful yellow anthers in the center of 6 inches of glorious color-drenched petals! Coral buds begin to swell on this plant in mid-spring, and the blooms continue right up to summer. Perfect for cutting, they are borne on long, sturdy stems and keep both their color and form beautifully, indoors or out. Abalone Pearl reaches 32 inches tall over 5 to 10 years, then continues to bloom for decades. This very early bloomer is floriferous and so colorful—a wonderful, longlasting choice for the border, as an accent planting, or as a stunning specimen! Bareroot.

Peony Moon River

Peony Moon River

Peony Scarlet O’Hara

(Paeonia lactiflora) Their strong, sweet scent has been compared to roses! Giant double blooms of pink-blushed cream fill the garden with a rose-like perfume on this compact Peony. If you love cut flowers, you simply must grow Moon River. The blooms open in late spring in most climates, though in the far north they may delay until early summer. Very profuse, they release a strong, sweet scent that has been compared to roses. It’s magnificent indoors or out, and a single stem perfumes a room! The large, finely formed, full-petalled flowers are carried on short, strong stems and stand out beautifully against the dark green foliage. Growing 30 to 36 inches high and wide, this is a long-lived perennial, very easy to care for. Give it sunshine and good soil drainage and it will bloom for decades, all the way up into zone 2! Bareroot. [Perennial] Sun

(Paeonia lactiflora x officinalis) One of the earliest blooming! If you have despaired of growing Peonies in your warm-climate garden, Scarlet O’Hara is the early-blooming wonder you’ve been looking for! Bred in 1956 by the hybridizers of the classic Red Charm, this ultra-vigorous, heat-tolerant hybrid flourishes in climates where other Peonies fail to flower. And once you see these large, radiant blooms, you will be sold for life! The secrets are vigor and root strength. This plant’s deep roots tap the water table and keep aboveground growth robust. Mild winters are no problem, and you can rely on a heavy bloom in mid-spring. Scarlet O’Hara reaches about 3 feet tall and wide, with good branching, for a heavy show of buds and blooms. Bareroot.

Evergreens for

Year-round Color and Texture From deep winter to the heat of summer, most evergreens provide the same lovely color. Valued for their wonderful versatility, they can be used as specimens, hedges, or privacy screens. As foundation plantings, evergreens provide a year-round “finished look” for your landscape, offering texture and color that’s found nowhere else, as well as creating a lush backdrop for your flowering annuals and perennials!

Thuja Green Giant

(T. plicata x standishii) A fast-growing, carefree screen! Green Giant boasts dense, fragrant evergreen foliage from the ground up that never needs shearing. Ideal for a privacy screen, it’s easy to grow and very long-lived, with excellent deer, pest, and disease resistance. It grows best in full sun, but will tolerate light shade. Give it a year to settle in, then watch it take off! Our customers’ all-time favorite tree! 4-inch pot. [Tree] Sun-Part Shade | H-10-12’, W-30-50’

They’re fragrant and shapely -- but in heavy clay soil (which is what I planted them in), they only grow about 6 inches a year.

Wind and ice and snow don’t seem to bother them at all -mine are set up as a wind break.

Its lovely, full-bodied habit, which is very low, rounded, and dense, shears and shapes beautifully to any desired form—from topiary to an excellent, crisp low hedge. 4-inch pot.

Trees and Shrubs

the Foundation of Your Garden

Trees and shrubs provide a distinctive architectural structure around which you can build the rest of your garden. Offering multi-season beauty in the form of colorful foliage and blooms as well as often creating unique silhouettes in the winter garden, their landscape value increases with each passing year!

Japanese Maple Corallinum (Acer palmatum) Remember the old saying about the weather—if you don’t like it, just wait 5 minutes and it’ll change? Well, that’s about the case with Corallinum, too!

The leaves change more frequently than the seasons on this splendid little Japanese Maple, making it one of the most beloved small trees for the home landscape. This semi-dwarf tree has pink foliage in early spring, turning to red and light green through summer and then to scarlet in the fall.

Boot Trays

If you’re like most gardeners, you always bring a little of the garden indoors with you . . . on the soles and sides of your shoes! And despite your best intentions to use the boot scraper or remove your shoes outside, the mud and leaves and sticks always seem to make it into the house. That’s where our Boot Trays come in! These trays are as sturdy as they are attractive and designed for a lifetime of use. They’re the ideal size to accommodate several pairs of boots and umbrellas, or multiple potted plants, or a doggie dish or two, or anything else messy that you want to keep off your floor! Made of stainless steel or powder-coated galvanized steel, they’re reassuringly solid, but easy to wipe clean. They make a terrific gift and look great in the garage, on the porch, in the gardening shed, or right in your foyer. Give it a try . . . and give your broom a break!
