Here are a few of our favorites right now ... but please note that availability and selection will vary by location.

	Roses Roses are the undisputed favorite of flower lovers around the world. Their beautiful perfumed blooms are available in nearly every color of the rainbow and there is an astonishing variety of rose types, shapes and sizes. Don’t allow yourself to become overwhelmed when selecting rose bushes. You don’t have to be a rose expert to grow roses. An understanding of the different types of rose bushes will help you match the right plant to your landscape needs. Like any plant, roses have certain growth requirements. But with the right amount of care and attention, rose bushes can successfully be grown in nearly any garden.
	Hydrangeas Prolific flowering shrubs that bear large, globe-shaped flower clusters in late spring and summer. The color of the blooms is often dictated by the pH of the soil…alkaline soil typically produces pink coloration and acidic soil usually produces rich blue coloration. The large, lustrous, medium to dark green leaves of the plant provide a lush backdrop for the opulent blooms. Remove spent blooms to encourage repeat blooming. For best results, grow in partial shade (morning sun, afternoon shade). Good for cut flower arrangements. Blooms can be dried.
	Sunny Knock Out® Rose This newest release is the only fragrant member in The Knock Out® family of roses. It has a slightly more compact and upright growth habit with bright yellow flowers that fade quickly to a soft cream color. The yellow color stays more intense during cooler times of the year. The dark, semi-glossy foliage contrasts nicely with the bright blooms. Sunny Knock Out® will bloom early in the spring and continue blooming until the first hard frost in the fall. It is drought tolerant, disease resistant and self-cleaning. An excellent choice for a trouble free rose garden.
	Crape Myrtles If you had to choose only one shrub to grow in the southeast, it would be the crape myrtle. These durable, fast-growing plants thrive in our hot, humid weather conditions. Available in an astounding variety of colors and sizes, crape myrtles are deciduous plants with four season interest. They can be grown as large shrubs, or pruned into multi-trunk, tree-form plants. Crape myrtles are among the longest blooming trees in existence with flowering periods lasting from 60-120 days. Flowers appear in summer in big showy clusters and come in white and many shades of pink, purple, lavender and red. Several varieties have interesting exfoliating bark that exposes lovely cinnamon or gray inner bark. For strong growth and abundant flowering, plant crape myrtles in full sun. The plant will tolerate some shade but growth and flowering will be greatly reduced.
	Gardenias A surprising member of the coffee family, the gardenia is an evergreen shrub with dark green, glossy leaves and waxy blooms that can be pale yellow to creamy white to pure white. Favored for their richly perfumed flowers, gardenias are well-suited to the southeast because they prefer a hot, humid climate and an acidic soil. Depending on the variety, the blooming season for gardenias begins in mid-spring and can last up to late summer. Gardenias require full sunlight for optimum growth, although a little shade is acceptable. To encourage more blooms, deadhead the spent blooms as they occur.
	Butterfly Bush One of the best ways to provide life in the garden is to plant a Butterfly Bush. In addition to the butterflies, hummingbirds and beneficial insects are also seduced by the nectar rich flowers of these plants. The long, bottle brush like flowers are irresistible to butterflies and they remain alive with activity from late spring until first frost in fall. Butterfly bushes are deciduous shrubs with a weeping form. They have lance-shaped, gray-green leaves on long arching stems. The flower clusters can be so profuse that they cause the branches to arch even more. The flowers of many cultivars are sweetly fragrant. Flower colors may be purple, white, pink, or red, and they usually have an orange throat in the center.
