Featured Plant: Reblooming Iris

The huge blooms of bearded iris in early summer is a welcome delight, but now you can also enjoy these flowers in the late summer and fall if you plant some reblooming German bearded iris. That’s the featured plant at Lavalette Nursery right now, available in rhizomes or in pots. Click here for details.

Brighten the Fall Landscape

The containers of ever-blooming annuals on your deck or patio are pretty much “bloomed out” now, so this is a good time to switch to fall flowers. Lavalette Nursery has a large selection of jumbo garden mums in a variety of colors. One plant is big enough to fill the largest container. Check out there and other ideas for brightening the pre-winter garden. Click here for details.

Bonide Insect Control

Houseplants which have spent the summer outside will be brought indoors as cooler weather approaches, but you don’t want to also bring in those pesky insects. Lavalette Nursery offers a product that will take care of that problem. Bonide Insect Control is convenient, easy-to-use granules that provide effective, long-lasting insect control for 8 weeks.
