Greening your Garden
Nalls hand-selects the highest quality annuals, perennials, houseplants, shrubs, and trees to fill out our garden center. Most of the greenhouses we work with are local, and we strive to find plants that are naturally well suited to our climate. We want to help you make the most of your garden and your time – so your life can be filled with flowers and not chores.
The garden center changes inventory frequently, especially between seasons. We never carry a plant that you can’t comfortably grow right now – you will not find a tomato plant at Nalls in the winter, or tulip bulbs in the summer. We also tend to carry flowers during their blooming period – so you are unlikely to find creeping phlox at Nalls in the Fall, but you might find garden phlox – which blooms in the Fall.
Fall is not too late to start your garden! Plenty of flowers bloom in the cooler weather, and you can plant perennials, shrubs, and trees as long as the ground is workable. Mums & asters are the classic Fall plant – inexpensive flowers that fill your garden with tons of jewel-toned, compact, daisy-like blooms. They are a tender perennial in our region, so get them in the ground ASAP to get their roots established before the first frost. Other classic Fall perennials include coneflowers, sedum, coreopsis, and black-eyed susans. If you’re looking for less of a commitment – pansies, ornamental peppers, and celosia are perfect annuals to plant now. While tomato and squash season may be winding down, you can keep your veggie garden going with cool weather crops like broccoli, lettuce, cauliflower, kale, and perennial herbs.
