Heartleaf Philodendron is a classic and beloved houseplant cherished for its heart-shaped, glossy leaves and ease of care.

Light Requirement: Heartleaf Philodendron thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light conditions, but growth may be slower, and the leaves may lose some of their vibrancy. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering Requirement: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing excess water to drain away freely. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency in winter when growth slows down.

Mature Size: Heartleaf Philodendron can grow up to several feet in length, with its trailing vines cascading gracefully from containers or climbing up supports. Regular pruning helps control its size and shape, promoting bushier growth.

Ipomoea tricolor. It is a great shame that so many gardeners confuse this tidy heirloom annual with the invasive bindweed, Convovulus arvensis. Both share the name Morning Glory, and both have trumpet shaped flowers, but the similarities end there. Heavenly Blue morning glory seeds produce short vines bearing copious, huge, intensely blue flowers that open each morning and then fade to pink before closing for good in the evening. Every day more flowers open from mid to late summer. It looks spectacular climbing along a fence or trellis, with really large flowers that can only be described as Heavenly Blue.

Note: This variety is not an invasive weed.

Stocky, semi-dwarf bushes from 30-45cm (12-18") tall are well suited to container growing for balcony gardens, or in the vegetable bed. In containers, Little Marvel shelling pea seeds can be grown in spring, and cut back in time for a summer crop, leaving the soil enriched with nitrogen. Each of the 8-10cm (3-4") pods contain 6-7 mid-green, tasty peas. Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Resistant to Fusarium wilt.

Little Marvel shelling pea seeds were first introduced as Sutton's Little Marvel in 1900. It is an old, dependable variety with an extended season, fine quality, and heavy yields.

Prairie smoke (Geum triflorum) adds interest to a garden bed from early spring through to fall. This perennial is native to North American prairies. It gets its name from the long, wispy, feather-like achenes (seed heads) that develop during the summer. With their pinkish shades, they create an impression of puffs of smoke remaining on the plant for several weeks. The small, pink, bud-like flowers may not be as impressive as the achenes, but they still add a splash of color to the garden in the spring. And during the fall, the foliage takes on purplish, reddish, and orange hues and then turns to a burgundy shade during winter. 

Chrysanthemums are a great choice for the garden, or in tubs and mixed containers. Garden Mums are extremely popular plants for a splash of colour in late summer right through the fall.

Morden strain produces naturally cushion-shaped, compact plants with double and semi-double flowers in a whole range of rich jewel tones. Best in a sunny area, with regular watering through the season. 

Pinching plants in June will result in a much greater number of flowers.

Indoor Citrus Plants, such as the popular Meyer Lemon or Key Lime, are aromatic and with glossy green leaves and fragrant white flowers that may develop into small, edible citrus fruits.

Light Requirement: Thriving in bright, direct sunlight, place indoor citrus plants in a location with ample natural light. They benefit from at least 8 hours of sunlight per day, making them suitable for sunny windowsills.

Watering Requirement: Keep the soil consistently moist but well-draining. Water when the top inch of the soil feels slightly dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, as citrus plants are sensitive to overwatering.

Mature Height: With a compact growth habit, indoor citrus plants can reach varying heights, commonly staying between 2 to 4 feet (60 to 120 cm). Pruning helps shape the plant and encourages healthy fruit production.

Bring the fresh scent of the holidays into your home with our Canadian-grown premium Balsam Fir trees.

Each tree is hand sheared and graded to USDA #1 Standard. 

Since we began selling christmas trees our mission has been to secure a high quality and reliable source of trees for our customers. 

In August of 2024 we made a trip to Nova Scotia to visit a tree farm. After a tour of the acreage we were impressed by the care taken to maintain the beautiful environment (pictured) and commitment to sustainability.

Here are just a few of the benefits:

• In tree farming sustainability means naturally seeded varieties from old growth forests, and properly maintained biodiversity in the rolling fields. Natural ecosystems to keep the trees protected from pests and viruses.
• The tree you purchase today will have seeded 3-4 new saplings in its place. Each one has already started your future tree, your neighbours, and many more to come.
• Direct purchasing from the farm means our trees will be cut, shipped and delivered within a shorter time frame. Keeping them fresh in your home for much longer than those though tree lots and buying groups.
• The term Premium has been used alot in recent years without restriction or accountability. Our supply is graded to USDA standards of Premium, or #1. You can purchase with confidence the tree you receive will be true to its grading.

Disclaimer:
Due to the nature of live trees and online sales, all trees remain bundled until delivery. If you have specific preferences, we recommend visiting us in-store to choose your tree in person.

All sales are final.
