Our fall sale expands at Bay Laurel Garden Center in Atascadero! The bareroot season is fast approaching and we will need more room – thus the sale of our lovely roses. We have a great variety – hybrid teas, climbers, floribundas and tree roses. They are all 25% off. We still have the ongoing sale of fruit trees including citrus.
No better time to plant California natives than fall. An unusual offering is the salvia ‘Desperado’ in one gallon containers. This variety is extremely drought tolerant; it’s a hybrid of Saliva apiana and Salvia leucophylla. It grows about 4 feet with lavender blue spikes in spring reaching to 5 feet. Another gem on hand at Bay Laurel Garden Center is the Fremontodendron. This shrub can grow to 20 feet with stunning golden yellow flowers. Plant away from human activity as the small hairs on the plant are a skin irritant.
A couple of attractive late blooming perennials are the white flowered Campanula ‘White Cloud’ for the shade and the sun loving aster ‘Purple Dome’. You’ll find lots of perennials still in bloom at Bay Laurel Garden Center. Examples include many salvias, Penstemon, and Osteospermum.
