These are no ordinary hanging baskets like you'd pick up at the box stores!! We start each fall working with one of of favorite local growers (known for their meticulous standards) and design each one with St. Louis summers in mind.
Our greenhouse staff is known for putting together incredible blends of flowers and foliage for spectacular displays. We strive to build amazingly long-lasting combos that burst and cascade with color and texture, for sun or shade.

DON’T RUSH SPRING, THE SOIL IS STILL COLD!
I know that the calendar says May, but the soil temperature says early April. Soil temperature, not the calendar tells us when it’s time to plant. Yesterday I measured the soil temperature on the hill in front of Rolling Ridge, the 5 foot wide strip surrounded by concrete, and it was only 55 degrees! Then I walked up Marshall Place and took a reading up that street and it was in the high 40’s and low 50’s. These temperatures are fine for early spring crops, but not for summer annuals or vegetables.
There is always a lot of hype for the newest, most unique plant and flower. As much as it appeals to the plant collector in us, we would like to focus on the tried and true summer annuals that in our experience, are no-fail, reliable annuals to get you through a St. Louis summer!
