%
off
Summer color in white or shades of red, pink or lavender that cannot be
denied. Trees and bushes laden with frilly flowers in July and August make
the Crape Myrtle a staple in every beautiful garden. So easy to grow, these
gems perform best in an open sunny area with well-drained soil. As they are
available in a number of different sizes (2 ft. to 30 ft. at maturity), choose the
variety that fits your space best.

HOSTA 25% off
As the weather gets hotter, it’s time to turn to a bit of shade gardening and
Hostas, being so easy, are just the thing to give you instant gratification with
little work. The lushness, and colorful patterns that Hostas bring are a visual
treat, while their tidy, architectural habit seem to polish up any messy looking
space in an instant. They will grow well around the bases of trees where
other plants suffer from the competition, and do very well grown in
containers. There is a shape and size for every outdoor space imaginable.
