Stunning Roses, Shrubs & Vines

Shake up your landscape! Turn your shrubs and vines into living architectural elements. Choose climbing clematis vines to add some height. Show off candy-coloured hydrangeas as a feature in your yard.

Roses are classic and versatile and are available in different forms including climbers and shrubs. With plenty of shades and varieties, that can handle full sun to shade conditions, they are an almost guaranteed fit anywhere.

Updating an older garden? You may need to move oversized growth to make room for new sprouts. Start by digging deep and wide around the root bulb with a pitch fork. Try to avoid damaging the roots and remember to nourish the plant with plenty of water.

During transport, keep your plant soaked in your wheelbarrow and generously give its soil more H2O after replanting.

Succulents & Other Helpful Outdoor Plants

Gardening shouldn’t stress you out. Enhance your outdoor experience with simple, low maintenance decorative plants, and ones with practical benefits.

Succulents are simple, attractive, and low-maintenance — the perfect gardening project. Use rocks or mulch, such as moss, to cover their soil and retain moisture at the roots. During the winter, bring your succulents indoors and give them some ice chips once a week to prevent over-watering. You can even create living wall art with a multi-use succulent planter that makes a statement!

Annoyed by pesky bugs that won't buzz off? Scented gardens offer fragrant, colourful combinations to naturally keep your outdoor space pest-free. Try citronella in a hanging basket or planter for your deck, patio, or cottage. Beautiful and practical.

Vibrant Annuals & Perennials

Mix it up! Bring the best of annuals and perennials together for ravishing results. Annuals live up to one year before they need to be replaced. In contrast, perennials last much longer, growing back every year after a single planting!

Colourful and cheery, annuals are great for décor. Popular varieties include pansies, geraniums, mums, and impatiens. Throw in perennials for structure and texture. Be sure to check your plant tag, as some blooms have a short lifespan  while others can last for the entire summer.

When you visit our garden centre, think about select shades for your colour palette. Feel free to pull your annuals and perennials into a group to see how they'll look! Consider how tall your plants will grow as that will impact your planting location decisions in the garden bed.
