What’s Happening at Russell Nursery?
Spring is unfolding before our eyes and the garden is calling! The Japanese maples are leafing out, their delicate new foliage glowing with fresh seasonal colour. With over 20 varieties in stock, now is an excellent time to select your favourite.
Peonies are bursting onto the scene, practically leaping from the ground in their excitement. Many are already forming buds, promising a stunning display. Be sure to check out the Itoh peonies—they’re looking especially full and beautiful right now.
For greenhouse growers, the first tomatoes of the season have arrived, along with plenty of basket stuffers to get things started. Just a reminder: it’s still a bit too chilly outdoors, especially overnight, so be sure to protect these heat-loving plants for now.
Want to give your new plants the best possible start? Pro-Mix Root Booster could be just what you need. This easy-to-use, water-soluble alternative to bone meal helps ensure successful transplanting by encouraging fast, vigorous root growth. It’s a staff favourite—and one we trust in our own gardens. Try it today!
