Focus on Flowers

Springtime = Transplant, delete, cut back.

All Pieris shrubs are evergreen and are related to rhododendrons and mountain laurels.

Calycanthus is a fine sweet shrub that also goes by the name of Carolina allspice.

Our native red and black chokeberry shrubs provide four seasons of interest and are drought tolerant once they are established in gardens

Lindera is a host plant for the promethean moth and the spicebush swallowtail butterfly.

Shrubs are easy-care and long-lived stalwarts in our landscapes in all seasons of the year.

Now, only about 20% of our cut flowers are grown in California, Washington State, and Oregon, where most used to be grown for domestic sale.

Refrigerated trucks and unheated holds of planes are cold, helping cut flowers from abroad to stay fresh during their journey to the U.S.
