Planting is Complete for Our Fall & Christmas Crops

The hottest part of summer is always when we do our planting for Fall and Spring. All of the cuttings for our Belgian Mums for Fall and our Poinsettias for Christmas have been received. We've filled and planted more than 800 10-inch pots of Belgian Mums. We've filled and planted more than 400 pots of Poinsettias. Check out the posts below to see what they look like during their first week after planting. We'll do our best to update every few weeks and let you track the growth and progress of our plants.
