Japanese Maples
Do you wish for something extremely colorful, eye catching and
unusual for a focal point in your landscape? Then consider a Japanese
Maple! These deciduous shrubs and small trees are native to Japan and
Korea and are very ornamental plants with slow growth. They are the
most delicate and airy looking of the maple family and offer year-round
interest. The new growth in the spring will have glowing red, pink ,
yellow and bight green leaves, usually turning to a soft green in the
summer. Their fall colors can astound you with a color spectrum of
yellow to red to orange. The slender bare branches will show off its
interesting and intricate branch patterns for added winter enjoyment. The grafted cultivars are generally
smaller and slower in growth. Very effective as small lawn tree, in large
patio planters, in entryways and in rock gardens. Ideal for Japanese
gardens and around pools and stream beds in water gardens.
Invaluable in tubs and as bonsai specimens.
Come check out our selection. We have a wide assortment of specimens
from small sizes up to 8 foot tall and wide trees and shrubs.

Ornamental Grasses
Grasses are becoming an important addition to any landscape. The
wide range of attractive colors and textures makes these plants very
useful in rockgardens and around pools, ponds and streambeds. The
graceful appearance and beautiful coloring makes them also an
outstanding choice in container gardening. Selections range from the
dwarf clump forming varieties such as the Ophiopogon japonicus (Mondo
Grass) or Carex morrowii 'Variegata' (Japanese Sedge Grass) to the
much taller growing varieties such as the Phormiums as well as the
gracefully arching Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrina' (Zebra Grass) and
Cortaderia selloana (Pampas Grass). |

Indoor Foliage and
Flowering Plants
As you can see.......our greenhouses are filled to the brim
with a tremendous assortment of Foliage plants. After the holidays it is time to refresh your home and office with
INDOOR FOLIAGE PLANTS. We invite you to come out and wander through
several of our tropical "jungle" greenhouses to enjoy the
displays and the wide variety of house plants. If you are looking for a
small 4" african violet to add to your collection or for a 12 ft
tall majestic Kentia Palm as center display in your entry way….we
have them all.
Especially
nice and plentiful is our selection of Calatheas. These
interesting plants are native to tropical South America and Africa
and are close relatives of the Marantaceae family (Prayer plants)
Calatheas are mainly grown for their beautiful colored foliage in
various shades of green, silver, white, red and pink. The
Calatheas are an excellent plant for medium to low light
conditions and require a minimum of care.

Flowering housplants are making a come back. Check out the
interesting new varieties such as the Acalypha hispida - Chenille
Plant which we offer in a hanging basket. The striking clusters of
crimson red flowers resemble tassles of chenille. Needs a tropical
environment but with heavy pruning will be a neat houseplant which
will bloom heavily during June/July with scattered flowering
during the rest of the year. |
