February is the month of LOVE!

Every February across the country, candy, gifts, and flowers are exchanged all in the name of St. Valentine.

Why not stick with tradition, but with a twist this year? If the lovely arrangements on our Florist page aren't your thing, then consider the most romantic and enduring of all garden plants - the rose bush.

Be a romantic and make it a tradition, add another variety to your garden every Valentine's Day or Anniversary. The rose is the flower that inspires love!

Gardening Tips For January

•January is a great time to give your impatiens and other annuals a nutritional boost. Liquid feeding with Miracle Gro and a granular application of Osmocote will keep your bedding plants thriving and strong. For an eco-friendly option, use Plant-Tone by Espoma.

•Driftwood is in full bloom. Some local favorites are geraniums, impatiens, begonias, and snapdragons. Our list of annuals is just too long to mention here. You absolutely must see the incredible variety of plants we carry.

•January can be one of Southwest Florida’s coldest months. To protect and insulate your plants, water them in advance of a cold snap. You may also want to use frost cloth to cover impatiens, geraniums, begonia’s and other annual beds when the temperature reaches the mid thirties or below.
