Hydrangea paniculata, 'Quick Fire Fab'
This showy sun hydrangea is a favorite amongst large bloom deciduous shrubs. With white petals that slowly darken into a rich peach, we love how this variety accents the landscape and stands out in a sea of foliage. 'Quick Fire Fab' blooms on new growth and can grow 70-80 inches in height.
Happy 4th from Petals from the Past! We hope you all have a wonderful day of celebrating our country's freedom and heritage.
We will be closed on the 4th to celebrate Independence day! Normal hours will resume on the 5th.
Rosa ‘Maggie’
This rose is one of the showstoppers that we keep in-stock. Some roses are delicate and subtle, while others are the main event. ‘Maggie’ is the later. We love its bold blooms, often described as mauve red.
Usually a fragrant spring and fall bloomer, this year we have watched hold its color through the heat of summer. It reaches three to six feet in height and thrives in full sun. Zones 6-8.
Are you familiar with the Iceplant?
In the Aizoaceae family, they are hardy succulent like perennials. Generally native to Southern Africa, the Iceplant is contradictory to its name and thrives in a sunny corner of your garden or in a decorative raised bed.

Rosa, ‘Paul Neyron’ 1869
‘Paul Neyron’ is one of the cabbage rose look-alikes. With tightly packed petals, this rose brings volume, color and vibrancy to any garden or arrangement. We love that this rose also carries a distinct scent to elevate garden experience!
It is a height grower of 4-6 so we recommend placing it near the back of your border. Full sun. Zones 5-9.

This Saturday, Jason will be
sharing his favorite southern perennials
and why they are a perfect addition to your garden!
We hope you all are keeping warm in this freeze! ❄️ We have been busy covering tender plants and and protecting emerging growth from these crazy temperatures.
We are thrilled for you to learn from our natives expert, Sue Webb, about the impact of our gardens on local wildlife.
North america has seen a sharp decline in bird populations in the last 50 years. This can be traced directly to our impact on the earth and the side-effects of our agriculture industries.
We can change this trend by ensuring that our gardens support local ecosystems and serve as a safe habitat for native birds.

Who doesn’t love Narcissus. They are one of the most recognizable spring flowers. Their bold centers and sweet aroma evoke excitement from even the most dormant gardener.
They herald spring and are the perfect cut flower to bring with you indoors! Which variety is blooming in your garden?
Pieris japonica, or Temple Bells, is a shade shrub dream. With mysterious bloom clusters that resemble Lily of the Valley, it adds eloquence and attraction to the sometimes predictable shade border. We love the thick, dark green foliage it provides off season as well. Temple Bells is a great winter bloomer to remember.
