Sunbelt landscaping

These are the areas in which we test some of the plants we sell. Our growers did an excellent job this year with our spring and summer programs -- just look at all the spectacular color! The photos were captured July 31, 2014, after a period of almost 100-degree temperatures.

Several new plant varieties were successfully trialed, like Verbena EnduraScape (formerly named Enduro), Impatiens Big Bounce™ (great for sun and shade!), Cleome Clio™ Magenta, and Caladium Highlighter.

An oldie but a goodie

While going though photos from IGC visits earlier this year, this one stood out. Every product in this shopper's cart was grown at Sunbelt.  (Photo captured at Pike Nurseries in Suwanee.)

2014 garden mum crop on the way

They're everywhere, they're everywhere! And our 2014 garden mum crop is looking mighty fine, as well as all the new varieties we're trialing. The test mum in bloom is 'Daybreak Appleblossom White', which will turn pink around the edges as it matures.
