We have stunning Fall to Winter blooming Camellias ready to plant. We are loaded with beautiful fall camellias in many colors that have lots of buds & blooms. Encore azaleas, edgeworthia, and lots of pretties. Check out dogwoods for beautiful color; hydrangeas and daphnes are still flowering.

Pansies, Violas, and Panolas are still arriving weekly along with other companion plants, including snap dragons, cabbage, kale and chard for winter beds and containers. Remember blood meal for pansies.


Keep newly installed plants watered!

Once the weather is consistently cold, plant spring flowering bulbs like tulips in containers; crocus, daffodils, and hyacinths in containers or in the ground.


We have a full line of bird products for bluebirds, cardinals, finches, and other feathered friends. Plus, squirrel ejecting feeders! Check out our Cole’s & Mr. Bird’s holiday bird seed items.
