Bold Blooms, Lasting Fragrance The Anouk Deep Rose Lavender is a standout choice for gardeners seeking vivid color and irresistible scent. This Spanish lavender variety features striking deep rose flower spikes atop compact, evergreen foliage that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Easy to grow and drought tolerant, Anouk Lavender attracts pollinators while delivering long-lasting blooms that brighten any landscape, container, or border with minimal care. Planting & Care 1. Planting: Lavender will perform best if planted in a full sun location (6 to 8 hours of sun) with well-draining soil. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the Lavender's root ball, loosen the soil, and place the plant. Backfill the hole, lightly tamping the soil, to prevent air pockets from forming. If you're container-planting, select a pot that's about two sizes larger than your shipped container. Use sandy potting mix, place your plant, and fill with the soil mix, leaving a couple of inches at the top. Give the potted plant a good drink of water and place it in front of a south-facing window or on a sunny patio spot. 2. Watering: Once your Lavender is established, it's generally drought tolerant but does like moist soil. If you're not sure when to water, use your index finger. Stick it into the soil and if it feels dry, add just enough water to moisten the area. 3. Fertilizing: A weekly feeding with liquid fertilizer will improve the flower color as well as encourage prolific flowering. 4. Pruning: Prune after the coldest part of winter has passed. Proper pruning will include removing dead or damaged areas and any desired shaping.

The Most Popular Avocado on the Market Why Hass Avocado Trees? The popular, tasty Hass, now home-grown and ready to enjoy much sooner than seed-grown fruit. Supermarket trips are a thing of the past when you're growing your own Hass Avocado Tree at home. And because the Hass is so expensive in stores, you save time and money. Best of all, our Hass Avocado fruit's unique flavor tastes better than store-bought. You'll save hundreds of dollars, especially since you can expect your tree to produce fruit year after year for 40+ years. The Hass's creamy inner flesh is delicious for everything, from classic uses in salads or guacamole to cooking and complementing the ever-popular avocado toast. For best results (and to take the guesswork out of growing), we've taken hardy avocado rootstock and grafted it onto a cutting from a mature avocado tree, proven to produce delicious fruit. We've done all the work in our process, which results in robust avocado growth. Outdoors, this fruit-bearing tree will reach heights of 15 to 20 feet and a width of 5 to 8 feet at full maturity. But when it's container-grown, it will reach a height between 5 to 7 feet, allowing easy harvesting. So, is there anything better than your own avocados, grown right from home and ready to enjoy? Order your Hass Avocado Tree today! This product will ship in a white plastic grow bag. Please remove this bag before planting, as you would a nursery pot! Planting & Care 1. Planting: Although partial sun will suffice, to produce avocados in abundance, make sure you choose a planting area that gives your Hass Avocado Tree full sun. Spacing with the Hass is important as well. Give your avocado tree about 15 feet of space from other trees and plants. The best months for planting are typically March through June, depending on where you live. Dig a hole twice as large as the tree's root system, carefully plant the tree and cover the roots. Tamp the soil down around the tree's root system to remove all air pockets. Using a small diameter wooden pole, stake the tree with a garden stake and tie the tree to the pole loosely using cotton twine. Finally, apply 3 inches of bark chips around the tree to help with moisture retention and prevent the growth of weeds. If planting in a container, use a cactus or citrus soil mix that is well-draining in a container that is slightly larger than the current one. 2. Watering: When planting, water your young avocado tree to be sure it is sufficiently hydrated. Otherwise allow the soil to dry between waterings. A thorough watering once weekly is generally all your avocado needs, however. While the roots prefer to stay on the dry side, avocado leaves love humidity. Indoor Avocados will do best if misted daily, especially when you are running heat during cooler months. You can also use a humidifier or fill your pot's saucer with rocks and add water; place your plant on the rocks ensuring the bottom of the pot is above the water line. 3. Pruning: Prune the Haas avocado lightly to maintain appearance or to remove damaged branches during the first few years after planting. Pruning should be done in the spring. 4. Fertilizing: Fertilize the Hass Avocado tree in the spring, summer, fall and winter, after the tree has been planted for one year using a well-balanced fertilizer. FGT Pro Tip: Your Hass will survive temperatures down to 20°F, but cooler temps can be stressful, especially for younger plants. We suggest adding an extra layer of protection with a frost blanket on younger trees if your temperatures get cooler than 30°F. FAQs How long does it take for an Avocado plant to bear fruit? How long your Avocado plant takes to bear fruit depends on how old your plant is to begin with. Avocados smaller than 3 feet tall might start to produce small fruits that will drop prematurely. When your tree is around 4-5 feet tall and becomes established, you should have regular harvests that increase with age. Is an Avocado plant an indoor plant? Avocados grow best outdoors in their native range (Zones 9-11) , but can be happy indoors, provided that their needs are being met. They prefer warm temperatures, humidity and lots of sunlight! What is the difference between a Hass Avocado and a regular Avocado? The Hass Avocado is the most common kind you will find in grocery stores. It's known for its dark skin when ripe and small pit. Other kinds of Avocado will have slightly different flavors and sizes. How tall do Hass Avocados grow? Outdoors, this fruit-bearing tree will reach heights of 15 to 20 feet and a width of 5 to 8 feet at full maturity. But when it's container-grown, it will reach a height between 5 to 7 feet, allowing easy harvesting. When do you harvest Hass Avocados? Generally, you can harvest your fruit between February and September. When do you water Hass Avocados? When planting, water your young Avocado Tree to be sure it is sufficiently hydrated. Otherwise, allow the soil to dry between waterings. A thorough watering once weekly is generally all your Avocado needs. While the roots prefer to stay on the dry side, Avocado leaves love humidity. Indoor Avocados will do best if misted daily, especially when you are running heat during cooler months. You can also use a humidifier or fill your pot's saucer with rocks and add water; place your plant on the rocks ensuring the bottom of the pot is above the water line.

Hardy Evergreen for Challenging Landscapes The Bosnian Pine Tree transforms difficult growing conditions into opportunities for beauty. Native to the mountains of southeastern Europe, this tree has evolved to thrive where many ornamentals fail—in rocky terrain, poor soils, and exposed locations. Its dense, pyramidal silhouette and soft, silvery-green needles create visual interest throughout the year, while its slow, controlled growth habit makes it manageable in most landscape settings. This hardy pine excels in cold climates and tolerates drought once established, reducing your watering needs significantly. Whether you're looking to create a windbreak, establish a privacy screen, or add a sophisticated specimen tree to your property, the Bosnian Pine delivers reliable performance with minimal fuss. Its exceptional longevity means you're planting a legacy—a tree that will grace your landscape for generations to come. Planting & Care 1. Planting: Bosnian Pines prefer full sun - for best results, plant your Bosnian Pine in a spot in your yard that gets at least 6 hours of sun each day, with moderate soil that isn't too dry or wet. Then, dig a hole that's large enough to accommodate the root ball, place your tree carefully and back fill the soil. Water well to settle the soil and roots. Place a layer of pine needles or mulch around the base for moisture retention. Also, be sure the soil is firm after planting. If you can pull the tree out once it is planted, you need to pack the soil more tightly. 2. Watering: Your Bosnian Pine is moderately drought-resistant - water regularly while your tree is establishing, but rainfall should suffice after that. 3. Pruning: Prune your tree in winter or fall, and keep only the branches at the top two-thirds of tree. This will help your tree grow straighter and become more disease resistant. Immediately prune any diseased branches.

Planting & Care The Blueberry is a deciduous shrub. The leaves are spirally arranged, narrow, and start out red-bronze in the spring only to develop into a dark-green. The flowers of the Blueberry are white and bell-shaped. The fruit is a berry, which is a dark blue to black and has a thin wax coating. Seasonal Information: Blueberries are grown as an ornamental plant for its fall colors, typically bright orange or red. It is also a highly regarded superfood, containing beneficial vitamins and nutrients. Location: When selecting a site to plant your Blueberry bush, make sure the site has full sun and drains well. The plant grows best in moist soil, not in soggy soil. Blueberry plants require acidic, well-draining soil. When planted in soils with a pH higher than 5.5, blueberry plants do not absorb nutrients adequately and become more susceptible to disease. Blueberry plants contract moisture-related diseases when exposed to humid conditions or standing water. Planting instructions: Dig a hole with the shovel that is about twice the size of the root ball of the bush. Make sure the hole is the same depth as the container it comes in. When planting more than one blueberry bush, dig holes that are at least five feet apart in rows that are 10 feet apart. Amend the soil from the hole with peat moss. Make sure to thoroughly mix the peat moss with the soil from the hole. Place the Blueberry bush in the hole. Cover the roots with soil-peat moss mix. Watering: Your blueberry bushes will need to be watered regularly to make certain that the root system becomes well established. The soil surrounding your tree should be moist but never saturated. Light green leaves can be a sign of overwatering, while drooping leaves can be a sign of both over or under-watering. Fertilization: You do not need to fertilize the Blueberry bush at the time of planting. Fertilize the Blueberry bush twice a year, once in the spring and once after harvest. Pruning: Blueberries require only minimal pruning. Lower limbs can be thinned out to keep the fruit from touching the soil, and excessively vigorous upright shoots can be thinned out several feet from the ground to keep the center of the bush open and to keep the bearing surface within reach. Spindly, weak, or dead branches should be thinned out annually during the dormant season.
