| I'd like all of you to look out for this new series of hydrangea in 2012. I have no idea where they may be sold, and they've given no exact indication except being "gift-to-garden" in nature.
Plants Nouveau is launching their assault on the market, and although far behind more well-known lines, they're offering the Everlasting series, a very unique assortment of upright compact plants with extremely sturdy blooms. The line is made up mostly of reblooming macs, with a couple arborescens and paniculata mixed in. A few of the names have been recycled from Novalis (where Plants Nouveau's current co-owner came from), but many more are 2011+ introductions bred by Kolster BV, Netherlands. For the most part, the general pattern is blooms of different colors and sizes mix with or end up fading to green. Most of these shrubs don't exceed 4' in height. The current list is as follows: Ruby (RJ-BO) - 4x4' raspberry pink changing to lime green / picotee

| Checked out the website they seem very durable. Revolution seems to be the only repeat bloomer will try to find that one to grow in a pot. Springwood_Gardens A while back not sure if it was you but, I think you posted something about Trax Farms. The post was about vanilla strawberry I believe... |

| Trax Farms was great to visit. In addition to their own unique products and antiques area, they have a huge indoor garden supply store and furniture area. Off of that, they have their huge annuals greenhouse, and then at least a few acres of outdoor perennials, trees, and shrubs. Their spread and selection was the largest I've seen in the Pittsburgh area. Their prices where what you might expect from a nursery, but I've seen far worse. As far as their hydrangea selection, they were very heavy on the latest releases. I can't name them all, but if you go back through the posts here, I believe they carried all of what was new and exciting out there last year. 5-gal VS was $40. They had huge 50' long ES display with your choice of 2-gal Bella Annas at $34 apiece. I also got a 3-gal Great Star for $40 and the F&E Fantasia 1.5gal for $24. ------------------------------------------------------ |

| A 3-gal Little Lime for $15.95 I got to get out there to get that deal. Been to Chapon's quite a few times very nice place great staff and plants. They are not huge on hydrangea but they do carry a good bit of new stock. Last year they had Empress Wu Hosta very early in the season. Still looking for locally Hydrangea Double Delights Black together (not in the f&e line) Hydrangea, Expression Double Delights Hydrangea paniculata baby lace Hydrangea David Ramsey would also be nice to find. |

| Look at Home Depot for David Ramseys. I recall the first week of July as a big clearance on macs there and got a 5gal for $20. It had gone through its first bloom cycle but was loaded again by Aug 1. |

| As far as Double Delights goes (and other Ball Ornamentals products), it appears that Brenckle's Farm & Greenhouse is listed as a supplier, and they have advertised some Ball plants on their site. I haven't been there yet but you can visit them at either If you get there before I do, let me know how it goes! |

| I called out to Reilly's Garden Center here is what they will have new, in stock early may. Hydrangea paniculata �Fire and Ice� 3 gallon $35.00 As a side note Gabriel Brothers is having a gardening supply sale. Century three Gabriel Brothers was loaded with stuff. |

| I stopped at Brenckles the other day...Of the Ball Hort plants they currently have Expression, Peace, and Red Sensation 3 gals for $30. I facebooked F&E about Pistachio and they should ship to Lowes in less than 2 weeks. I think 3gals there only run $25-30. Lowes now has David Ramsey 2gals for $15 |
|
| Springwood_Gardens thanks I picked up a David Ramsey on Sunday. Very nice ready to flower it seems, four buds in the broccoli stage. Should have flowers on DR by the weekend hopefully. I will grab Pistachio when they come into Lowes instead of black together. Three gallons at Lowes are normally $25.00 less for the ones that are not trademarked. |
