Are you tired of serving up a nightly buffet of your prized garden plants to your neighborhood deer? Then we have the cure for you! We highly recommend Liquid Fence. It works not only by smell but also by taste. The smell isn't strong enough to bother people, but it sure offends the deer! Once they associate bad taste and smells with your garden, they will leave your plants alone.

Liquid Fence is also effective against other pesky nibbling critters such as rabbits, raccoons and groundhogs. For best results, we recommend that you apply Liquid Fence every 4-6 weeks until your furry friends stay away. So don't delay, pick up some Liquid Fence today!

If your yard isn’t just bursting with COLOR right now, you haven’t got the right things planted!

There are so many gorgeous perennials in bloom right now, if they are not coloring your world, they should be. Perennials are the answer to any yard that lacks color. Many are easy to grow and maintain, so even someone who wants a low maintenance yard should plant them.

Many people come into the nursery asking for a shrub that blooms all season. I rack my brain, and end up shaking my head and explaining to them that most shrubs have a certain bloom time and only do their thing during that time. Some Roses will bloom for an extended time. Gold Spirea offers you bright colored foliage and after it blooms, you can shear it back a bit and get it to bloom a second time. Hydrangeas have big beautiful blooms in late summer and they last through the end of fall and can be cut and dried. But nothing beats perennials for adding color to your yard for the longest time, and with the least amount of care.

The Perennial Plant Association has picked a “Plant of the Year” for many years. These have been chosen for their stellar performance in the garden. It’s no wonder that these are some of the most popular plants people buy. They are a staple in any well stocked nursery. If they are not in stock, they should be.

Rudbeckia or “Black eyed Susan” is one of my favorites. This plant has nice dark green leaves, it blooms sunny, cheerful yellow flowers with a dark center. Blooms start in early July and stay in bloom all the way to October with little or no deadheading required! It gets 2 ½ to 3 feet tall and about the same width. Once it is mature, you can divide it and share it with friends, or spread it throughout your yard.

Echinacea or Purple Coneflower is another award winner. This plant is a native in a lot of areas, so it is tough as nails. Plant breeders have been having a lot of fun with this plant and have come up with all kinds of fun for our gardens. There are white ones, and yellow ones, bigger headed varieties, as well as newer double flowered types. The newest I have seen is one called “Coconut Lime”. It’s puffy, double flower has flakes of white in the center surrounded by lime colored petals! YUM!

'Moonbeam' Coreopsis or Tickseed grows into a bush of small ferny leaves covered with delicate sunny yellow blossoms that bloom continuously. If it stops, you can give it a little bit of a haircut and it will bloom again! You’ll want to check out 2 other new coreopsis, one called “Crème Brûlèé’”, and another called “Jethro Tull”.

Shasta Daisies are beautiful in any garden, and you can get a second bloom by simply cutting off all of the first blooms. Many shorter varieties are available now for people who don't like the way the older ones needed to be staked up to keep them from flopping over. 'Silver Princess' and 'Snow Lady' are two of these new shorter daisies.

Liatris or gay feather has such a unique spiking bloom that it adds interest to any garden. It starts out with long, grassy foliage and then shoots up a show of tall, purplish spikes over a long period of time. The plants multiply quickly and become big and full. When this happens you can take a shovel and dig out part of it and spread the love…

This list could go on and on, as there are so many perennials that do a great job in the garden. Look around your yard, and ask yourself if you like what you see… If you don’t see enough color right now, when the perennials are putting on their show, you might want to add some.

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, Perennials….Because you're worth it!
