🌿 It’s All About the Foliage!

Take a peek around the nursery and you’ll find fabulous foliage combinations —from pre-made planters to plants ready to take home with you. We love combining foliage by playing with texture, colour and shape: bold leaves with delicate ones, silvery greens with deep burgundy, and rounded forms with tall, strappy. A foliage-focused garden has a timeless, elegant feel.

By August, summer containers can look tired from the heat. Don’t replace the whole pot. A quick mid-season tune-up will keep them beautiful through autumn. Here is your 3-step refresh plan:
1. Trim: Snip off faded blooms and cut back leggy, overgrown trailing plants to encourage fresh, bushy growth.
2. Feed: Frequent summer watering flushes nutrients from container soil. Apply a water-soluble fertilizer to jumpstart late-summer performance.
3. Swap: Gently remove any dead or spent plants. Replace them with fresh, heat-tolerant options like marigolds, ornamental peppers, or coleus to instantly fill the gaps. Mixing fresh late-summer arrivals with your established plants creates a lush look that bridges the seasons beautifully.
Stop by the garden center this week to grab fresh soil, browse our favorite heat-loving plants, or get advice on the best picks for your space.

Late summer is the perfect time to introduce a new color to your landscape. While early flowers fade, a variety of exceptional plants are just reaching their peak, ensuring your garden stays vibrant well into autumn.
Here are three excellent additions for reliable late-season color:
Dynamic Perennials: Add plants timed to shine now. Color-coded Coneflowers (Echinacea) and Summerblaze Black-Eyed Susans (Rudbeckia) offer fresh blooms that last for weeks.
Show-Stopping Shrubs: Panicle hydrangeas like Limelight Prime or Quick Fire Fab are late-summer stars, producing massive blooms that transition from white to rich pink and burgundy.
Continuous Fillers: Fill gaps with long-blooming selections. Superbena verbena provides low-growing color clusters, while Rockin' salvias offer striking upright flower spikes until frost.
Stop by the garden center this week to browse our selection of late-season stars and extend your garden's peak performance.

Mid-summer is the perfect time to give your hanging baskets a little refresh! ✂️🌸
Don’t be afraid to trim back leggy growth and spent blooms. A light prune encourages fresh growth, more flowers, and keeps your baskets looking full and vibrant right through to fall.
A quick haircut now = weeks more colour later! 🌿💐
Have questions about what to prune? Stop by the garden centre—we’re happy to help!

If you are watering constantly but your plants are still drooping, the secret isn't watering more often. It is watering deeper. Hot summer watering is all about pushing moisture down to where the roots need it. Frequent, shallow watering keeps roots near the scorching surface, where they quickly dry out. Instead, give your garden a slow, thorough soak less frequently. This coaxes roots to grow deep into cooler, moisture-rich soil. For the best results, water early in the morning before the heat of the day causes major evaporation. Need the right tools to keep your garden hydrated? Visit us for soaker hoses, watering wands, and everything you need to help your landscape survive the summer heat!
