Spring Hill Nurseries

 

The beginning of Spring, for me, doesn’t start until I start my planting and flowers start blooming.  When I go to plant new flowers or begin to prepare my current plants and garden for Spring, there is one place I have trusted time and time again, Spring Hill Nursery.  I was introduced to them about four years ago when I moved into my current home just after it was built.  The nice thing, yet sometimes difficult thing, when moving into a newly constructed home is the landscaping.  I’d never had such a blank slate to work with, and was only a novice gardener.  Knowing some of the soil was composed of clay, I was also nervous about putting a lot of money out for plants that might not do well.

Spring Hill Nursery gave me the confidence I needed to begin my landscaping and gardening project.  Their catalog and website are full of information on the different flowers, what type of soil they need, how much sunlight, what zones they thrive in, for reasonable prices, and best of all every plant they sell comes with a Lifetime Guarantee!  Search as I might for the “fine print” I never did find it.  When Spring Hill sells you a plant the ensure you will love it.  If the plant dies, no matter why it died or when it died, they will send you a replacement plant, offer an exchange for another plant or send you a refund check.  Over the last four years I’ve tried my hand at a variety of plants.  Nearly every plant I’ve purchased has turned out successful, but I have had a handful that didn’t fair well for one reason or another.  Actually, each season, for four years, I’ve had to call for a replacement for at least one plant (don’t judge, I have about 50!), and the representatives at Spring Hill have always been great.

One thing you need to be aware of, when ordering from Spring Hill, is that most of the plants that are sent are young. Some are also sent while the plants are dormant, so they might not appear like they’re not healthy, but they are actually “sleeping.”  Each shipment comes with a planting guide, so all you need to do is read the enclosed information on how to plant your items.  If you want something that will grow quickly, just check the item’s detailed description which has information on each plant’s growth rate.  Most of my items have taken a full season to really go from looking good to wonderful with the exception of my favorite flowers to date, the Red Freedom Hedge Roses.  These roses were small, only 3-6″ tall when I first received them, but by the end of the year they had grown to nearly 2.5′ tall (and wide).  These roses are bred to resist disease and were not bothered by a single insect last year.  They also had beautiful blooms that lasted until the end of November.  Everyone from my mail carrier to strangers walking dogs would comment how beautiful they are.  I cannot wait to see them reach their full potential this year (their second season), and fully expect them to reach 3′x3′ as described (they provide a beautiful small hedge).

 

Some of the other plants that I love from Spring Hill are the Butterfly Bushes (which in their second year reached nearly 7 feet tall), the mini-hollyhocks, gaillardias, and leyland cypress trees.  This year I purchased some of their gigantic mums, daisies, asters and a rose of sharon hedge for one side of my property.  All these plants and you would think I was a millionaire. Not quite.  But Spring Hill does have great prices and they offer wonderful coupons (like 25.00 off of 50.00 order).

So whether you want to add a few flowers, plant some trees or even buy some fruit to enjoy this summer, check out the full selection of plants from Spring Hill on their website (all with 100% satisfaction guarantee), “like” them on Facebook, and follow them on Twitter.  You won’t be disappointed!
