The Holiday Red Carpet

Lush Poinsettias lay a multi-colored carpet in this greenhouse

It’s time to fill your Poinsettia inventory, as most of the season’s plants will be moving over the next several weeks. We grow our Poinsettias for big bracts with crisp edges for a lush, full canopy of color over the top. We have a wide selection in a number of categories so let’s take a stroll along the Red (and beyond Red) carpet in the greenhouses for a look at what’s shipping.

White cascades down in this easy-to-assemble garden design

A white garden that cascades down is simple to build if you have the following ingredients. Assembly is straightforward—the garden is just four stripes for four plants and can easily be adjusted to fit into curves or odd shapes. For a freestanding version, turn the Cleome into a large stand and wrap everything around it in a loose circle:

• High = Cleome ‘Senorita Blanca’
• Middle High = Gomphrena ‘Las Vegas White’
• Middle Low = Impatiens ‘SunPatiens Compact White’
• Low and Trailing = Dichondra ‘Silver Falls’

Cleome ‘Senorita Blanca’ can be used as the center of a freestanding white garden

It becomes even more interesting if you mix in items that reflect your own personality like rocks, sculptures, small trees, or other objects with visual interest. This site happens to be partial shade, getting strong sun only in the morning but this garden layout works equally well in full sun.
