Bright, Bold Summer Color at Nick’s
Annuals are all-stars in the garden: They are incredibly versatile
plants, suitable for containers and window boxes, in flowerbeds,
and hanging baskets. You'll also find the best annual vines, the best
annuals for fragrance, and even the best annuals for shade.
One of the best ways to get quick color into your garden is with flowering annuals. Every week we have new shipments of colorful annuals
arriving in our greenhouse. These plants are loaded with flowers and
ready to plant.
So Many Choices
of Perennials
at Nick’s
It’s no wonder perennials are
growing in popularity. Coming
back year after year, perennials
provide us with many seasons
of beauty and enjoyment.
Because they come back every
year, perennials offer structure and
stability to our gardens.
They look absolutely wonderful
when planted with complementary annuals, shrubs and trees in
the garden or containers.
For over 25 years, Nick’s has been
providing the Denver Metro area
with superior quality
perennials. You'll find larger,
healthier plants, larger root system
and more flowers on every plant.

NICK’S HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED F
Splashes of Color Anywhere!
Container gardening is one of the easiest ways to enjoy the
growing season. That’s because containers are relatively lowmaintenance. They can turn an entry or patio from a hardscape
into a brilliant display of color. Pots filled with greenery and
flowers soften the hard edges of a patio or deck. They can
attract butterflies and hummingbirds and can add life to an
urban outdoor
setting. Container gardens can be grown in sun or shade.
Just match the plants to the right light and you’ll have success.
Best of all, because they are portable, you can make little changes
at any time without disturbing the whole scene.

Shade and
Ornamental Trees
Whether you are looking
for a shade tree or an ornamental tree Nick’s selection
is one of the finest in the
area. Trees act as natural
sound barriers, absorbing
noise from traffic and play
areas. They are a great way
to achieve privacy, blocking
the view of neighbors. And
a tree doesn’t have to be a
big shade tree to provide
these benefits. With careful
planting of the right tree in
the right location you will
not only increase your
home’s value by making it
an attractive feature, but it
also helps conserve water
and energy use.
Shade trees:
Autumn Blaze Maple,
Linden, Honeylocust and
more
Ornamental tree:
Crabapple, Flowering Plum,
Ornamental Pear and more
FOR STYLISH SUMMER PATIO LIVING!
Baskets of Color Everywhere
By the first of May our greenhouse will be bursting with hundreds of brightly colored
flowering hanging baskets. Our hanging baskets are available in a vast selection of colors
and varieties that are sure to impress. Nick’s combination baskets are a carefully chosen
mixture of Proven Winner annuals that balance color, texture and height. With varieties
from shade tolerant fuchsia to sun-loving geraniums, we’ll have what you need. They are
filled with lots of colorful flowers that spill out of these combination baskets to provide
months of color. At Nick’s, our hanging basket selection is second to none.
