Roots Nursery & Landscape · Bedding plant department

Flowers, from the thaw to frost

One of the beautiful things about this valley is the pride that home owners take in their yards. Spring through fall yards are full of colorful flowers and shrubs. At Roots Nursery & Landscape we take pride in our bedding plant department. We make sure that we always have something in stock that is blooming so that you can enjoy color on your front porch, in your planters, and on your patio whenever you want it. Our bedding plant specialists can also help you to plant a flower garden specific to the needs of your yard.

Spring at Roots is our favorite time of year

As soon as the ground thaws we have lovely tulips, hyacinth, daffodils, pansies and primroses in bloom. We have custom planted pots all done up so you can beautify your front porch before you're ready to do your planters and window boxes.

When the threat of frost is behind us you can come in for an array of flowers to meet your fancy. Whether you want geraniums and pansies with sweet potato vines for your window boxes, petunias and million bells to fill your flower beds, begonias and impatiens for your shady spot, or you want salvia and lavender to bring a little height and scent to your garden, we have the annuals and perennials that you need.

Bring your pots, we'll plant them

Our staff is eager to help you have the best flower garden you can. They have years of experience and can answer your questions and guide you to the flowers that will suit your needs. Our flower experts also provide custom services. You can bring in your pots and we will plant them up for you.

Details on containers and planting to order are on our custom potting and pottery page, and the additional services page covers delivery.
