New Plants
The one common theme I keep noticing this summer is for next year garden center owners are looking for different plants to have for their customers.
I believe this is really going to be very profitable. One example is the Japanese maple market. there are more bloodgoods,red dragons and crimson queens than anyone knows what to do with.
Go to Lowes or Walmart and you’ll find plenty. What you won’t find is
some of the more cool ones like Acer orange Dream, Acer fullmoon,
Acer palmatum spring delight.
These are so unique it almost becomes an impulse buy.
Here is a link to some really great new varieties.
