Welcome to the New Leaf Nursery Garden Center mid-May newsletter!
If you haven't been to the nursery in a while, it's time to come in and see how we are growing! The changes are quite amazing! As our community grows, we too, are striving to meet the unusually large demand for landscape materials. Along with having the largest selection of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals, we also offer the finest soils and mulch in the area. And, we have added 2 new greenhouses to increase our production.
Spring planting is in full swing, and the trucks are coming in nearly daily, loaded with gorgeous flowers and plants. Mother's Day weekend brought us so many thoughtful folks looking for the perfect gift for their mom and the other beautiful women in their lives.
From hanging baskets brimming with color, to fresh veggie plants, to gorgeous peony bushes, it's a gardener's dream location!
Some of the newest arrivals are Butterfly bushes. Did you know they are commonly called “summer lilac”? See one in full bloom and you will understand why. Simply stunning!
Miss Molly Butterfly Bush is a new, non-invasive variety of this popular garden perennial. It is very easy to grow in a sunny location in well-drained soil, and it will bloom continuously from mid-summer to the end of fall. It is a medium-sized bush, growing no more than 5 feet tall, and the same across.
Miss Ruby Butterfly Bush is an ornamental shrub with particular allure to butterflies. Plant one near a path or patio where its vivid color and enticing fragrance is sure to delight you throughout the summer.
Low & Behold is a dwarf variety of Butterfly Bush, growing between 2-3 feet tall and wide. Like its larger cousins, it loves the sun and will enhance the garden through the summer months.
Another favorite to gardeners in the Inland Northwest, are the Lupines. The lupine family is huge, including some amazing Manhattan Series of the genus. In this newsletter, we are featuring Red Rum and Gallery Yellow as two of our favorites.
These perennials and their tall towers add so much interest to your summer garden! There is nothing subtle about hybrid lupines. The telltale look is a tall, showy spire of flowers that can come in a multitude of colors. The foliage resembles palm leaves with seven to 10 leaflet segments each. This fast- growing, sun loving flower will soon become one of your garden favorites!
As the season matures, more favorites will be available. Make our nursery your “one stop shop” for all your gardening needs. Plan to visit us regularly to get in on the very freshest product!
And if you haven't already done so, be sure to sign up for our Seed Rewards Program.

Here's to a fantastic gardening experience! To plant a garden, is to believe in tomorrow!
