We have two colors of Buddleia Butterfly Bush. They are just coming into color and are loaded with buds. Their fragrant, continuous blooms will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds all summer long.

Buddleia's compact habit makes it great for containers or in the flower bed. They need full sun and are drought-tolerant once established.

Chrysalis Blue grows 20-28 inches tall and can spread 18-24 inches.

Butterfly Candy Lil' Raspberry grows 24-36 inches tall and can spread 24-36 inches.

The Raspberry is pictured and has over 13 buds, plus all the secondary ones!

Do you want a garden but no space?

Try out our tomato baskets and patio pots, pepper basket, and strawberry baskets. Great for small spaces and eating all summer long.

We have two varieties of tomato baskets, Tumbling Tom red and yellow. The tomatoes are just about ready to eat. We are starting to see color on the fruit. They are both cherry types. Last year a man kept track of all the tomatoes he got from his basket and found it was well worth the investment.

We have 3 varieties of Patio Pots, one slicer called “Patio” which is a red tomato, and 2 cherry PartyBall and Veranda.

PartyBall is a sweet, tasty 1” fruit on small, healthy plants with heavy yields.

Veranda is a powerhouse of sweet cherry tomatoes on a dwarf plant, about 2 feet high.

Patio these bright red, smooth-skinned fruits weigh between 3 and 4 ounces each. They are firm and crack-resistant, with good uniform coloring and terrific, juicy-sweet taste.

Care is easy, just water in the morning with Nature Source fertilizer, 1 tsp per gallon of water. If it is extremely hot, you may need to water in the evening again. Same with the patio tomato pots.

Pot-A-Peno, is a Jalapeño type pepper, is a compact, 2021 All-America Selections winning jalapeño variety designed specifically for hanging baskets, patio containers, and small-space gardening. These prolific, mounded plants grow to only 12-15 inches tall and produce spicy, dark green, 3-4 inch peppers that ripen to red. Harvest fruit green for a traditional spicy zip in any dish, or allow to ripen to red for a sweet, spicy flavor.

Berry Basket White flower strawberries. These everbearing, compact, and bushy plants bear large, deep red, full-flavored berries until first frost. A fun basket to have around for the grandkids.

The Pot-A-Peno and strawberry baskets do not need as much water, but use the same amount of Nature Source fertilizer as the tomatoes.
