Annie's Annuals are in!
We are excited to now feature Annie's Annuals in our gardens! We made a trek up to the bay area last week and came back with lots and lots of Annie's favorite plants - in fact, we have nearly 50 different flats of great annuals and perennials for you to check out! They are GREAT plants - we are way excited about things like black Nasturtiums, all sorts of funky Poppy's and Love in a Puff vines. Come check them out soon - we sold out of ALL of our Annie's at the garden show two weeks ago and don't think these will last very long either!

Lot's and lot's of new plants in!
We're very excited about our little nursery right now: we have a TON of new plants in for you to check out, our gardens look better than ever and we have an all new line of organic fertilizers in stock as well!
Check out some of our new favorites we've posted below, and be sure to stop by and see us, we have even more great plants in our nursery right now!
Rehmannia Elata is one of our favorite new plants - it's common name is 'Chinese Foxglove'. It grows in full sun and would make a great mothers day gift!

Tiarella 'Jeppers Creepers'
You've got to see this plant in person to really appreicate the unique coloring it has in it's foilage. A GREAT addition to your hade garden - dainty little flowers spike up all spring and summer, and it'll spread out nicely with your ferns, hostas and other shade favorites!
Banskia Speciosa
This plant also goes into the 'super cool' file! We sold out of them at the recent Spring Garden show at South Coast, but have them back in. A native to Australia, it's a dense, rounded medium size tree or large shrub which grows to 12-20 feet tall. Unique cone-like flower is popular with florists because of its creamy-yellow color, which blooms in summer and fall. The olive-green leaves are deeply lobed with serration and they have a whitish underside. Plant in full sun and enjoy! We have it in five gallon sized containers at the nursery right now!
Clematis Armandii
We absolutely LOVE the foilage of this Clematis. This evergreen vine has pendulous, glossy compound leaflets. Many fragrant white flowers are held on each cluster in the spring. Plant in sun or light shade with moderate water. We have them in both one and five gallon sizes right now!
Ligularia Dentata
We've got two varieties of Ligularia in right now. This plant is way cool - awesome red green foilage with these insane yellow flowers that come late summer. Takes shade to part sun and looks great in both a cottage garden and tropical garden setting. One of our very favorite new plants!
Fabiana Violacea
Fabiana Violacea is another new favorite we're in love with - awesome little violet colored tubular flowers and really unique foilage. YOU NEED THIS!
Geum 'Mango'
We love this new addition to our garden! It takes full sun, gets to about 6" to 12" tall and about 8" and 12" wide. Comes in lots of different colors - "Mango" is colored much like it's described. We love how it looks in our gardens!

Thanks for stoppin' by!
Our four days at the South Coast Garden Show went great - thanks to everyone that stopped by to say hello and check our what we lugged inside. And lug stuff inside we did - thanks to Arron, Darcy and my mom for helping out over four very long days! But it was worth it - we met all sorts of fellow plant geeks over the weekend, and we hope you all come by and visit us in Orange. We're still cleanin' up from the weekend, but we'll have lots of new stuff in by this weekend!

You need this plant!
We love this thing! Commonly referred to as 'Blue Chalk Sticks', Senecio is a great addition to any garden! It goes well in a tropical or cottage setting - providing great contrast to your other plants with both its unique gray-blue color and it's slender 'spikey looking' foilage. Takes full sun and little to moderate water, we have 'em in 4" and gallon sizes to meeting your gardening needs! Stop by and see us to check out how we've mixed it into several of our landscape designs!

Johnnye Merle's goes back to the 3rd grade!
We are very excited to begin launching our 'Gardens in Schools' programs! At Johnnye Merles, we believe in the importance of teaching about gardening and the environment to students of all ages - we couldn't be happier to be providing some very awesome 8 year olds with plants and other tools they need to start gardening at a young age!
We are also excited to expand our program to other sites, especially to schools in our own backyard here in Orange. If you would like more info on this program, feel free to contact us, and watch for updates from our young gardeners in the weeks to come!
