For Spring 2019 we’re introducing some new varieties of Coleus in 2 gallon terra cotta pots. For the first time we’ll be offering the Special Effects, PinkPlosion, and Electric Lime varieties and they are all simply STUNNING! Most Coleus are low maintenance and deer resistant and not always favored for their blooms, but rather for their patterned colored leaves. With their serrated edges and splashes of pinks, burgundy, bright greens and even purple edges, these varieties are no exception. All these Coleus perform well in sun to shade and are tolerant of warm temperatures and humidity making them perfect for Texas gardens, containers and hanging baskets.

For Spring 2019 we’re offering two colors of the Shock Wave Petunias in a hanging basket format – Deep Purple and Pink Vein. With a fully mounding, yet spreading growth habit, these gorgeous plants are perfect for tight spaces as well as containers of all types. Usually the first line of Petunias to start blooming in early Spring, they continue to flower all the way into late Fall in most areas. Highly weather resistant, they can stand up to wind and rain and can tolerate short periods of extreme heat and cold. All Wave Petunias prefer sunny spots, and the colors of the Shock Wave line actually deepen in full sun.

Several varieties of Coleus have been added to our current Availability and they are stunning! They love the heat, but will grow as annuals in just about any garden. They are only hardy outside in Zone 11, but can be grown as houseplants year-round with appropriate lighting. The Kong line is good in shade and part-sun. The Burgundy Sun Coleus is aptly named because its darker foliage performs better with sun and produces its most vivid color in bright sunlight. Coleus does bloom, but the small flowers are fairly insignificant in comparison to the beautiful foliage. Most gardeners simply pinch off the bloom stalks to encourage more vigor to the colored leaves.
