Five plants worth planting this weekend

Hey there, I get asked all the time what I'd actually plant in my own yard. This week I want to share five that I keep recommending to friends and family, and honestly, ones I'd put in the ground myself.

Green Velvet Boxwood: A tough plant that is cold-hardy, maintains its shape naturally, and excels in winter conditions. Ideal for areas that previously struggled with harsh winters.

Hayscented Fern: A native fern that spreads and fills in spaces well, particularly in shady, hard-to-grow areas. It emits a fresh hay scent when touched and transitions into a beautiful russet gold in the fall.

NewGen® Freedom Boxwood: Specifically bred for disease resistance, this boxwood variety, with glossy emerald foliage, offers a faster growth rate compared to traditional options like Winter Gem.

Green Gem Boxwood: Known for its compact, rounded shape and rich green foliage throughout the year. Requires minimal pruning to maintain its structure, perfect for borders and low hedges.

Red Double Knock Out® Rose: A popular rose variety with cherry-red double blooms from spring to frost. It boasts disease resistance and minimal maintenance, making it a favorite even among non-rose gardeners.

These recommended plants are not only endorsed by the sender but also ensure a beautiful yard for years to come if planted promptly.

For any inquiries, you can reach out to Justin Farrell at (888) 477-9062 or via email at [email protected].
