Pretty Much Picasso!

 

Pretty Much Picasso has made a splash in the greenhouse this season! The first planting has sold out so make sure you order a basket for our  second planting available  

Memorial Day! Only $19.99

Pretty Much Picasso is one of the Supertunia series. Its a very fun flower that has tons of beautiful blooms. The flower is a beautiful magenta with deep purple veins and center. The uniqueness of this petunia is in the lime green tips that frame the flower. It makes for such an eye catching addition to your garden! This plant never needs pinching, the blooms self-clean! I know you all love that!

Pretty Much Picasso reaches just 8 to 12 inches high, but spreads several feet wide. The baskets in our greenhouse reach over 3.5". They love the sun and need water regularly, but don't worry they are hearty plants and will continue blooming all throughout the summer and into early fall!

A Must See!

La Mancha Oriental Lily

This is a new beautiful oriental lily we are growing here at Stevens. Look at those HUGE light raspberry blooms, with ruby red bands and lighter edges have darker colored speckles for contrast. Such a great deal! Perfect for Mother's Day.

 

Osteospermums

Osteospermum also known as African Daisy caught my eye today as I was  looking for  ideas for a plant for Mother's Day. Osteospermum happens to be Jim, one of our buyers, favorite spring flowers and I can see why.We have potted Osteospermum plants and they are also mixed in some of our patio and hanging baskets for sell this spring!

 

Here are a few tips for taking care of these pretty little flowers.

• They like the sun so keep them in sunny areas
• Water regularly-especially after planting
• Keep these plants pruned-cutting off dead flowers or shoots helps promote new  growth
