Yucca is weird, but in the best way possible. It's technically a shrub, and technically an evergreen, but most people treat it like a perennial. Sometimes it surprises you with flowers. In short, it does its own thing. If your garden could use something unique, stop in and find your new favorite oddball.

Iris pseudata: a plant so new that it doesn't have an English name yet! Once considered an impossible species cross, Japanese plant breeder Hiroshi Shimizu created the first stable hybrid less than two decades ago. This breakthrough led to the stable garden cultivars available today, such as 'Yarai,' pictured here. If you’ve got a damp corner, a rain-garden, or a well-watered spot that needs a showy perennial with personality, Iris pseudata is a perfect pick.

Fountains: The sound alone makes you feel cooler.💧

With temperatures heading into the 80s this week, it’s the perfect time to add a little movement (and a little peace and quiet) to a patio or garden corner.

Stop in and listen for the running water. You might hear them before you see them!

A beautifully planted shade garden stops people in their tracks, and it's easier to pull off than you'd think.
Most people assume that grasslike plants need full sun. But ornamental sedges, sweet flag, and Japanese Forest Grass all thrive in the shade, and they're absolutely stunning when you pair them with boulders, a water feature, or contrasting shade perennials.

Done right, a shade garden is every bit as dynamic as a sunny border. Come in and let us show you what we have. We love putting these combinations together!

Ivory Silk Japanese Lilac Tree is a Hoerr Nursery tried-and-true favorite, with frothy, fragrant white blooms that show up just when most flowering trees are winding down. It’s a compact, dependable choice that works beautifully as a focal point, street tree, or in a small grouping, and it keeps your landscape looking polished without taking over. If you’re looking for a tree that stays around 20' tall and wide or less, stop by and check it out!
