| Tropical Treats- We've been adding to our selection of elephant ears for years and always recommend their use in colorful containers. Our tropical and hardy bananas are very popular as are our Brugmansias (Angel Trumpets) |
| Annuals-We have a huge assortment of annuals for any situation. The proven Winners line is exceptional and we add their new introductions every year and we're never disappointed. We think you'll like them too. |

| Daylilies-With proper plant selection you can have daylily blooms in Tidewater from May through October. Some of our employees are members of the Tidewater Daylily Society and have a wealth of information. We offer a wide selection of spiders, doubles, bitones, rebloomers and gorgeous "eyed" cultivars to choose from. |
| Iris-Iris is Greek for rainbow, and we have a wide selection of this beautiful perennial- from the graceful Siberian to the amazing reblooming bearded varieties. The latter never fails to amaze our customers in the mid to late fall as they discover them in our gardens after the mums have finished. |
 | Hostas-With over 60 varieties of this shade-lover, you're sure to find a few to add to your garden. Hostas will grow in ordinary garden soil and withstand drought, but they are most beautiful when provided with ample moisture and organic matter. Light fertilizer in early spring is needed for best plant development. |
| Helleborus- The Perennial Plant of the Year for '05 is an evergreen perennial we've loved for years. Its late winter/early spring bloom has always made it a "connoisseur" plant for those gardeners wanting to extend the season of bloom in their shady areas. Now everyone can discover the attractive shiny foliage and bell-like flowers. We carry many of the latest strains including doubles. |
| Houseplants- Our greenhouse is stocked year round with large floor plants to small table plants to brighten your home. We usually have some beautiful bloomers to add color too! Did you know we rent Palms and other plants for weddings and special occasions? |
| Ornamental Grasses- Graceful yet tough, these perennial companions thrive in full sun and are drought tolerant once established. The airy pink Muhlenbergia capillaris is a sell-out in the late summer once the flower heads burst open. From the petite (at 11" tall) Pennisetum 'Little Bunny' and Miscanthus 'Little Kitten' to the towering Arundo donax (5'-7' tall), we have a selection for your garden. We love grasses mixed with perennials, too! |
 | Ferns- Nothing imparts a cool, airy feeling to the shade garden like this group of plants. We love the evergreen ferns- Christmas, Autumn, Holly and Tassel- but also find the delicate shadings of Japanese Painted fern a winner when combined with maroon foliage perennials like Heuchera. If you like lacy, light green foliage try Lady fern (Athryium filix-femina). Southern Shield fern is a graceful native with bright green fronds that turn bronze in the fall. With over 25 varieties you're sure to find one to love. |

| Fish & Water Plants- Ponds and water features are increasing in popularity every year and spring is a great time for you to "get your feet wet". We carry a great selection of bog, marginal and tropical plants for your pond. We can also show you how to make a "natural" plant filter. The Hard Goods department is stocked with great pond products to keep everything running smoothly, too. |
