This season’s varieties are available through PlantingsPlus, the
brand’s line of larger sized Plantlings, which are four to six
inches tall upon arrival and further along in the growth cycle with
established root systems, offering gardeners a more successful head
start during the cooler months. Ferry-Morse has continued to
innovate and expand its Plantlings line, growing the line by 75%
more plant options since its initial launch in 2021.
“Many gardeners – new and even experienced – may think that the
end of summer means that they have to pause their favorite pastime
until the warm weather returns,” said Rebecca Sears, Chief
Gardening Guru for Ferry-Morse. “Whether you live in a warmer
climate or bring your garden indoors, you can still enjoy gardening
with our Fall Plantlings varieties. From fresh seasonal
cool-weather crops like lettuce and cabbage, to low maintenance
succulents and new mums that deliver all of the most beautiful fall
colors, there’s something gardeners at any level can enjoy and
extend the growing season.”
Fall in Love with Seasonal Hues for the Home
The transition into fall décor season calls for some fresh
inspiration! New in this season’s Plantlings collection is an
assortment of mums in a variety of deep red, orange and purple hues
to add some vibrancy to the home as the seasons change. Striking
varieties like Spicy Cheryl Mums and Regal Cheryl Mums will bring
butterflies to the garden and make for beautiful autumnal
bouquets.
For those who enjoy bright, vivid pops of color year-round,
Ferry-Morse’s assortment of perennial Plantlings allows gardeners
to plant and enjoy attractive flowers now, as well as again next
season. This season’s varieties include Wild Berry Purple
Coneflower, Mixed Lupines and Star Cobalt Lobelias. These
eye-catching varieties are also easy to care for, helping folks
maintain their thriving gardens for years to come.
Boost the Flavor in Favorite Fall Recipes
For those who want to fill their home with the flavors of fall,
this season’s Plantlings include a variety of herbs that can be
grown indoors or outdoors to add the perfect finishing touch to any
dish. With herbs like English Thyme, Berggarten Sage and Italian
Parsley, it’s simple to amp up the flavor in meals like butternut
squash soup or hearty pasta dishes.
Fall and winter holidays also call for delicious side dishes –
and what’s better than the ability to include nutritious vegetables
straight from the garden? Mix together a vegetable medley with
Lieutenant Broccoli, Snow Crown Cauliflower and Long Island Green
Brussel Sprouts or toss up a salad made with freshly grown Scotch
Blue Curled Kale. With Ferry-Morse Plantlings, every gathering can
be made even more special with homegrown meals for all to
enjoy.
Ferry-Morse’s Fall Plantlings Collection is available online now
in packs of two and orders ship directly throughout North America
through September 28 (or while supplies last).
