Air Plants

Also known as Tillandsia, air plants are often considered low maintenance as they do not need to be potted in soil. They still require regular watering, but can create unique living décor in your home when mounted on wood, stones, ceramic, or just set atop whatever you’d like. We always have a table dedicated to them in our tropicals greenhouse, so any time of year you can be guaranteed to find a selection of them.

Annuals

Every spring we have a vast selection of annuals ranging from small 4-packs to hanging baskets and mixed containers.

During the summer we offer larger summer pots, which are perfect for filling in blank areas in your flower garden or for use in planters to decorate for parties or weddings.

In the fall we have mums, pansies, dianthus and other cool loving annuals.

They are available both as starter plants and as fully potted, pre-shaped Bonsai. If you’re interested in learning how to pot one yourself using a starter plant, our team is happy to assist! Our tropical bonsai are available year-round, while hardy are available from spring-fall. We do not stock hardy bonsai during their winter dormancy. We also have a selection of bonsai tools, pots, soil, and accessories! Our house blend of bonsai soil is hand sifted multiple times, resulting in an ideal and uniform bark size.
