Fresh Ideas for Summer

We have plenty of fresh summer plants in stock

Summer does not mean you have to run out of ideas because everyone else has run out of inventory. At Diefenbacher we grow fresh for the summer:

• (A) Crops are specifically grown to do well in the summer heat
• (B) Our material is new—not tired—so plants are raring to go into the landscape or displays

Bear in mind, this is just a small selection of ideas we have for you. Give us a call, or refer to our Availability page to see the full list of possibilies you can still bring to your work.

Let’s take a brief tour of what is shipping this week:

For the snapdragon look in summer—Angelonia

Mix 'Flame Thrower Salsa Verde' with Pennisetum for a striking combo

To pair with some of those vibrant flowering plants for summer we recommend a new lime green Coleus—‘Flame Thrower Salsa Verde’. This is a green that makes brilliant flower colors pop. Sharp narrow leaves bump up the texture in a design as well, and its compact, medium size fits into containers and landscape beds with equal ease.

Versatile ‘Salsa Verde’ thrives in sun or shade. Mounding plants are fairly vigorous and reach about 12–18 inches tall. Happily, like most Coleus varieties it’s very low-maintenance.

Coleus ‘Flame Thrower Salsa Verde’ comes in the 4.5, 6, and 8-inch pot sizes.

Add flowers down low—like these Spreading Petunias—for a colorful surprise

Make the most of our morning meet-up by wearing your company logo

Have you marked August 22nd on the calendar for this year’s Field Day? If you’ve attended in the past you know we have a rare opportunity at the Morning Mixer to mill around and mingle informally before we set off on the Display Garden tour. A little tip: your company logo is a great conversation starter. Wearing it is an easy way to make some new connections within the industry—plus we enjoy seeing how many different businesses come out for Field Day.
