New blooms to add to my spring shopping listby Tara Nolan |
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending a President’s Choice Lawn & Garden event in Toronto’s historic Distillery District. I get my plants and garden products from a wide variety of nurseries and stores each year, but the PC brand is always very convenient because there is a nursery set up at my local grocery store. The plants are also exclusively from Canadian growers, which is an added bonus.
Besides the lovely plant selection, there were patio vignettes set up by interior stylist Janette Ewen showcasing some of the neat pots and solar lights that will also be on sale at Loblaw stores.
Here are some of the plants that will be on my spring shopping list!
Bourbon Clematis: This lovely climber will grow three or four feet and has brilliant red and fuchsia blooms.
These gorgeous grasses, "Hakonechloa macra Aureola," will become infused with pinks and reds in the fall.
Attract butterflies to your yard with Lo & Behold, this mini breed buddleia--or butterfly bush.

Very interested in the miniature butterfly bush, how tall and wide will it get? Also, did they say when it will become available? thank you

Hi Elaine, I’m just waiting to hear back from PC Lawn & Garden… will let you know when I hear back!
Hello Elaine,
Both items are in store now.
The butterfly bush is quite miniature – about a 20” mound, which is perfect for a groundcover or in a planter.
Happy Planting!
All the best,

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
