NEW PLANTS

These are our new plant introductions and changes to our Spring 2024 program.

Going Forward with Annuals

As the cost of basic annual seeds continue to go up we have been force to move some items out of the J6 and 1801 Basic Annual categories into the #4 Deluxe Annual category. We have been told by our seed suppliers that this trend will continue and that they will phase out the less expensive seed lines in favor of pricier “updated” seed series.

Another option we are looking at is to change to a different flat configuration that is between the J6 and 1801s or something comparable to streamline our production into fewer flat/cost configurations.

If you have any preference on what sizes you think would be best, please Contact Us and let us know. We welcome your input.

As for the new items below. All the information has been added to the plant pages. Please follow the links to see more about each new intro or change.
