All Green Thumbs Nursery has added several new shrubs to the line up.

This weeks additions include Hydrangeas, pink & white Azaleas, Butterfly Bushes and Crape Myrtles.

Most could be grown in larger decorator pots on a deck or tucked into a corner of the yard.

Crape myrtles (Lagerstroemia)
Crape myrtles are prized, low-maintenance ornamental trees and shrubs famous for their vibrant summer blooms, stunning fall foliage, and exfoliating bark. Thriving in warm climates, they require full sun and are highly drought-tolerant once established.

Hydrangeas
This weeks additions include Hydrangeas, Ideal growing conditions for hydrangeas include planting in rich, well-draining soil with consistent moisture, typically favoring morning sun and afternoon shade to prevent wilting. They need 1-2 inches of water per week and protection from harsh winds. Ideal conditions involve moist, organic, slightly acidic soil to produce blue flowers, or alkaline for pink. 

Pink & white Azaleas,
Pink and white azaleas are highly sought-after flowering shrubs famous for their striking, bi-colored petals. These versatile perennials come in various styles, ranging from classic spring-blooming varieties to multi-season rebloomers that flower from spring through fall.

Butterfly Bushes (Buddleja davidii)
Butterfly bushes are fast-growing, deciduous shrubs celebrated for their vibrant, honey-scented flower spikes that bloom continuously from summer until the first frost. They are famously attractive to adult butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. However, traditional varieties are highly invasive in many areas, meaning modern gardeners must choose their varieties and planting practices with care.
