Vinca Plants Make An Attractive Ground Cover.

Try Vinca As A Ground Cover! Vinca is also called Periwinkle. It is low growing maybe 1’ – 2’ tall. As it grows along the ground it occasionally roots where the stem touches bare soil thus helping it to spread and cover your ground. Vinca produces Violet Colored flowers throughout summer. According to Wikipedia, in India the plant is known as sadaphuli which means always flowering! Vinca plants grow well in full sun to partial shade. They seem to do best in part sun situations. Our Staff invite you to visit the nursery and take a look at our Vinca plants  as well as other ground covers we offer!

The Good and Bad News About The Freeze Damage To Your Plants.....

By this morning, one day after our 22 degree freeze yesterday morning the injury to some plants was clear. Ash trees leaves were turning black Close-Up of Ash Tree Leaves Virginia Creeper vines were turning black Iris Flower Stalks were wilted Black Spined Prickly Pear Pad Buds and Flower Buds were turning black Oak Tree Leaves were turning black Grape Vine New Foliage and young fruit clusters were turning black. The Good News About This Freeze Damage is that it is only temporary.  If your plants were healthy, strong, and vigorous they should leaf out again in about 2 weeks. So continue to keep the soil around them moist but not wet. Over-watering these freeze damaged plants could result in further damage and even death. The Bad News About This Freeze was that damage to young developing fruits is irreversible. This was looking like a great year for fruit production on area trees. The favorable temperatures of the last 30 days resul

This vine is know as Wisteria and is available in several different varieties that are sure to please! Wisteria vines grow vigorously! They can add 10' - 20' of growth in just one summer.
