Please get your orders in early -- March 16 would be ideal!
We may be able to accomodate late orders. Call Julie Carson for more information.
Ivy – Leaved Geranium Baskets
These are a slightly different form than we had last year.
These will be more trailing and less upright – perfect for hanging baskets.

The History of the Wave Petunia
From the All America Selections Classics' page comes this quote:
"Flower Judges were awestruck when they saw petunia entry 92F17. Unlike all other petunias in 1992, this entry did not grow vertically but grew along the soil like an ivy ground cover."
