Whew! We made it through the Memorial Day weekend. It has been a wonderful and crazy spring at The Flower House Garden Center. There are still lots of beautiful annuals and perennials to choose from to help beautify your outdoor living space!

Ever want to eat your words? The last line in my last post was “Bring it on, Old Man Winter!” All Tucked In!
Well, my challenge was heard. I’m sorry!
We, like so many others in our snow-laden area, have taken a hit from the 55 inches of snow we were “blessed” with over the Christmas season.
A hoop structure of aluminum and plastic was no match for all that white, fluffy stuff.
I take it back! Come on, Spring! We won’t take this lying down! Well, not for long, at least.
We are planning our spring schedule, honing up for workshops, classes and Dirty Dining.
We are adjusting our orders to be sure we still get the cool new fun stuff squeezed into the houses that are still standing.
You can’t keep plant lovers away from the green stuff!
“Surely as cometh the winter, I know there are Spring violets under the snow.”Anon.
Stay tuned for info on all the news from The Flower House Garden Center! We’ve got lots of great stuff up our sleeves.
Winter storm Blanche is on her way! We have enjoyed a nice long autumn. 
We planted our last perennial bed a few weeks ago. Finally!
The perennials have been cleaned up, cut off……..
And this weekend, put to bed! Bring it on, Old Man Winter!

Just a few of our new items for this spring!
Petunia ‘Night Sky’ has a unique splash of color on a deep blue background. The name was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s painting Starry Starry Night. The amount of white will change as the season changes. This one will be fun to watch!
Petunia ‘Supertunia Honey’ is a warm mix of yellows, oranges and pink.
Kniphofia ‘Poco Red’, more commomly know as Torch Lily. Although perennial elsewhere (NOT HERE!) we are growing this funky plant as a Thriller container plant or for your full sun flower bed. It loves heat and drought.
Gaillardia ‘Red Sun’. Broad petaled “suns” of hot orange-red float over the mounding foliage of this blanket-flower. It is hardy to zone 3 but we plan on using it as an annual in containers, as well as in our well drained perennial beds.
Basil ‘Balsamic Blooms’ is both edible and decorative. Flavors range from mint (blooms) to sweet basil (leaves). Plant in pots to enjoy in your outdoor living space or in your garden for a lush harvest!
Pansiola is a fun blend of pansy and viola! Great for hanging baskets and planters.
Dahlia Go-Go Series ‘Speckled’ and ‘Two-Tone Red’ are a new introduction which make a great stand-alone plant or thriller in your large containers.
Calibrochoa ‘Close Up!’ (left) and ‘Magenta Mayhem’ (right) add a soft semi-double and unique splash of color to our lineup of ‘million bells’ type of flowers.
Hibiscus ‘Little Zin’ is like the ‘Mahogany Splendor’ we have carried for years, except it is more compact and dense-a bit more controllable in containers!
Gerbera ‘Bengal Mix’ is super-cool! This showy daisy is much bigger than its older siblings. The blossoms and foliage outgrow the normal gerbs and they come in six colors. Be sure not to over crowd gerbera daisies to get the most bloom for your buck.
Begonia ‘Unstoppable Fire’ makes a statement with bright orange open flowers and dark foliage. They do well in part sun or part shade.
Dianthus ‘Jolt Cherry’ is very floriferous! It is lightly fragrant and will do well either in a large container or making a bold statement in a front flower bed. It also makes a fabulous cut flower!
Bidens ‘Bee-Dance Painted Red’ shouts out summer time! The two-tone blossoms cover a very aggressive plant that loves heat and sun.
