During July, our perennial tables are full of long-lasting summer color! Most perennials only bloom for 2 to 3 weeks. To keep color coming, plant a variety of flowers that like similar conditions but have different bloom times. Don't forget foliage color and shape will add garden interest!

Now we will have many native selections for the pollinators including Asclepias tuberosa (Butterfly Weed)! More ornamental grasses are available now, too.

While perennials, shrubs and trees are actively growing so too are the pests! Japanese beetles, brown beetles, slugs, fungus and mildew all make their appearance in July. We have solutions to help manage these pests. Review our Learn section for different strategies. Or send us a photo of the pest or damage and we can help.

Keep sowing seeds of lettuce in the garden as you harvest and you'll have greens for weeks!

Annual flowers will keep blooming into September and after July 4th, we will have them for you at 20 to 50% off!

The tropical greenhouse has hundreds of plants ready for adding a special look to your summer containers or to fill that niche indoors.

Mulch is essential for reducing annual weeds and keeping soils moist around perennials, shrubs and trees. Keep all new plantings watered and mulched! We have hose, timers, watering wands, watering cans and more tools to help you keep your landscape growing in the summer heat.

Summer-flowering shrubs like Hydrangea, smokebush (Cotinus), sweetpepper bush (Clethra), and Ninebark (Physocarpus) as well as dwarf conifers make terrific additions to garden borders while also adding some structure come wintertime. We have many to choose from in July!

And from July 18 - July 31, you can Redeem Garden Rewards for the 2nd time this summer!
