Cyclamen It is hard to believe Fall is already here. Fall and Winter are Cyclamen time, and ours are ready. We have the classic Sierra series, the miniature Sterling with marbled leaves, and some Fancy varieties with stripes and fringed petals. You can keep them alive in the garden if they have dry shade in the summer for their dormant time. |

Salvia uliginosa Bog Sage is a good plant for that problem spot with poor drainage or constant moisture. It will grow in drier areas, too. It has lovely sky-blue flowers and vigorous growth to 2’ tall and 6’ wide. Cut back in winter for best appearance. We will have one crop for a limited period of time, so buy now! |
| Fall is Prime Time Fall is the best time to plant most perennials, shrubs and trees in our area. The soil temperature is at its warmest and the days are shorter and cooler. This encourages plants to grow vigorous roots and less foliage, getting them off to a strong start in life. |
Primulas 4” Primroses are coming along to brighten those bleak winter flowerbeds. We will have the short-stemmed Danova series and the Pacific Giant series. |

Salvia argentea The biennial Silver Sage is grown primarily for its dramatic wooly leaves, growing in a 2’ wide basal rosette like some otherworldly lettuce. After two years it produces 4’ tall spikes of white flowers. Keep water from sitting in the crown by planting it on a small mound. |

Eriogonum grande rubescens A confetti-like cloud of fuzzy pink pom poms appears to float above the cute rounded leaves of Red Buckwheat. This California native tolerates full sun or light shade, seaside conditions, drought, clay, and alkaline soil. It is an important nectar source for many species of butterfly and provides seed for the birds. The foliage forms a dense 1’ mound. If you have sandy soil, you can plant it with Calocephalus brownii or Cushion Bush for an interesting combo that thrives in salty seacoast wind. |

Fancy Leaf Pelargoniums We have lowered the price on our latest crop of Fancy Pelargoniums from $4.20 to $3.80. In or out of bloom, these sturdy plants really liven up a flowerbed or pots in light shade. We have six varieties ranging in colors from mild to wild. Click here to see the names of the different varieties. |
|
Acsclepias We have another crop of Asclepias currasavica, aka Blood Flower or Milkweed. ‘Silky Deep Red’ has red and yellow flowers; ‘Silky Gold’ is solid yellow. While we can’t guarantee that your plant will come with its own Monarch Butterfly caterpillar, the butterflies in your neighborhood just might make themselves at home! The starry flowers make the plants worthwhile even without butterflies. Plant in full sun and give moderate water. |

Angel’s Trumpets Our 5-gallon Brugmansia are finally ready. These treelike shrubs were formerly known as Datura. The genus Datura was divided: The vining and sprawling types retained their original name and the shrubby forms were renamed Brugmansia. All have fabulous, trumpet-like flowers. Very fragrant at night. Plant in a sheltered spot and fertilize regularly. Prune hard in spring for best appearance. All parts of the plant are poisonous if eaten. Betty Marshall: 4’x 4’ dwarf with white flowers. Charles Grimaldi: Orange. 8’ x 8’. Single White: 7’ x 7’. Frosty Pink: 7’ x 7’. New for us this year: Brugmansia sanguinea ‘Inca Queen’. Mountain Angel’s Trumpet has narrow orange and red blooms. It grows to 8’ tall and wide and is not fragrant. |
