Lobelia Techno Heat Blue - Once you see this lobelia you will have to have it; it is just that pretty and the blue is so true.  And once you have grown it, you’ll never be without it; it is that easy and wonderful!  While most lobelias will fade away in the heat of the summer, Techno Heat promises to flower from spring till fall and pulls through without fail, just give it afternoon shade.  Never mind replacing bare spots in your garden or containers when you grow this lobelia instead, invite a friend over and enjoy a cold drink and good company, after all, you deserve it.

Angelonia Carita Raspberry - Angelonia is one of my favorite annuals.  I love using it in containers, in my garden, and my house always has little bud vases of purple orchid like spikes throughout the summer. Now we have a radiant new color to play with!  Angelonia will grace your garden with elegant beauty and all your favorite winged garden friends.  Don’t worry, the more you cut it the fuller it gets and the more it flowers!  

                
Pansy Mammoth Series - This pansy is bred to be the best for home gardens.  The flowers are extra big and the root system is extra strong for quick transplant success in the home garden.  Plant them in the full sun (yes, I said full sun) and watch them grow bigger, and bigger, and bigger!  Look for Big Red, Deep Blue Dazzle, Glamarama White, Prima Yellorina, and Viva La Violet showing off their extra big smiling faces in our greenhouse.

 
Geranium Caliente Orange - Caliente is a break through in geranium breeding.  A cross of an ivy and zonal geranium, it is extremely heat tolerant and flowers profusely and continually.  This is truly the toughest geranium you will ever grow and you will love it!!!  Also look for Caliente Pink flowers spilling over pots in our greenhouse this spring.

 

Petchoa Calitunia Pink - A cross between calibrachoa and petunia gives this new plant the vigor and strength of a petunia and the small bountiful flowers of a calibrachoa.  Give your containers the lift they’ve been looking for with these tough bloomers, they’ll make it worth your time and effort!       

 

 
Zinnia Zahara Starlight - The Zahara series graces your garden all summer with crisp white flowers and electric pink stars.  This series is only about 12 - 18” tall but completely disease resistant; you don’t have to worry about that pesky powdery mildew spreading to your tomatoes and cucumbers!!  That’s right; enjoy your zinnias all summer long with no powdery mildew; or leaf spot!

Want an added benefit?  Plant them around your veggies to encourage beneficial insects.
