Here is a quick tip from Jean, one of our brilliant and talented perennial and shrub gurus!
Gardening Tip: When choosing a shrub or perennial, look closely at the very base of the plant. By noticing how the stems emerge from the soil, one can predict the future shape of the plant. For instance, when examining a shrub, if several stems emerge roughly equidistant to each other and growth is quite even, then the future shape of the shrub will likely be quite symmetrical. If there is one strong stem and one weak one, it may become asymmetrical and it is is up to you to decide if it is a pleasing interesting shape or not. Other people like to purchase a shrub with one strong main stem that they can train into a small tree shape, or because there will be room to underplant with other smaller colourful plants. So by all means admire the leaves and flowers but notice the structure supporting them too.
We are excited to see you this year, so don't wait, come in store now to visit!
