silence before the storm?

it's a bit quiet, hybernation? the weekend forecast keeps me optimistic about the weeks end and those to follow. all plants are looking really good, many are finished and now we wait on the weather. we are all happy that many of our early spring products have been sold for '09, and hope you were all happy with the new larger sizes. i have received a lot of positive feedback, i think the bigger sizes worked better too.
we will create 14" woodland hanging baskets and additional gift items for mothers day. look for them on availabilty or email me for more info hs@bedsandborders.com. they will be perfect for the next couple of weeks when it will be too cold for some of the hanging baskets with warmer weather components.

these baskets are loaded with perennials, take advantage of this! Tell your customers, use them later, divide them...great value.

looks great/favorites of the week:
geranium orkney cherry-dark foliage with hot pink petite flowers, good form.
pansy delta lavender shades-purple,lavender, lilac, orchid...all shades are in this mix!
heuchera caramel-great color and very full!
woodland hanging baskets-sun or shade, hot or cold
petunia surfinia magenta-this will perform and will look great too.
verbena apple blossom -old school favorite for good reason. perfect pink!
sambucus black lace-very cool foliage, late flowers, looks good in mixed containers.
centaurea gymnocarpa-great in any application and transitions easily from season to season.
phormium wildwood-black(limited)
lavender provence- 8" pots are really full, fragrant, outside and budded.

FL stuff is coming in this week....i'll update again on Friday. H
