Easter Plants

The greenhouse opens the week before Easter with spring bulb plants including Lilies, Tulips, Daffodils and Hyacinths. We have Churches and Organizations that place orders to celebrate the Easter Season. If this is something that you are interested in, please call or email for more information. We deliver the plants locally up to the day before Easter!

Spring

We have a huge selection of annuals, perennials, herbs, and vegetables for your garden. We offer many name brand plants like Proven Winners, Proven Selections, Proven Winner Color Choice Shrubs, Wave Petunias, and Flower Fields. There are many colors and sizes of geraniums, Wave Petunias, hanging baskets, and annual flats. We also have a huge selection of sun and shade perennials that will add to your home and garden from year to year.

There is nothing better than going out the garden and picking a ripe, purple tomato. That’s right…PURPLE! Last year we offered a line of specialty, heirloom veggies and because of its popularity it is back for its second year. Along with the traditional, we have tomatoes and bell peppers in colors that are hard to find. The line is exclusive to Barbott Farms and it also offers plants that are hard to find like Okra, Italian Eggplant, and many others. These are plants we are proud to see in our gardens and now we are sending them from our garden, to yours.

We have many varieties of tomatoes going from a patio to a cherry to a beef steak and many in between. We have red, yellow, and green bell peppers and an assortment of hot peppers. There are also strawberries, squashes, eggplant, cabbage, broccoli, watermelon, cantaloupe, and beans. This is only a partial list. If you are looking for something specific please contact us by phone, email, or the best way to find out is to stop out see!

Quick Tips

What is the difference between an annual and a perennial? Annuals are planted annually while perennials are planted once and last from year to year. Most perennials aren't in full bloom from May through August so it is very common to plant annuals in with perennials to add color through the spring and summer months. Remember that if you buy a perennial it takes a little time for it to grow to its full potential. They take a year to sleep, a year to creep, and a year to leap to full size.

What is the difference between a seed and zonal geranium? The difference between a seed and zonal geranium is that a seed geranium is grown from a seed while a zonal geranium is made form a cutting. That is why zonal geraniums are hardier than seed, because they have already been growing for a year or two.

Be careful if you plant your flowers too early in the season. Many people get the urge to start planting early but sometimes a late frost may damage your annuals. There is nothing wrong with purchasing your plants before the crowd, but you might want to keep them in the garage until after the last frost has past, or if you do plant them, put a sheet over the planted beds at night. This protects the plants from the cool night air.
