Water plants! This beautiful lotus (Nelumbo hybrid

Water plants! This beautiful lotus (Nelumbo hybrid) is the variety Perry’s Giant Sunburst, and you can see why! The blooms on this variety are extraordinary and the color a nice sunshine yellow. Water plants are in their full glory right now, and we are enjoying seeing their blooms here in the Nursery. Here are our tips for growing water plants, including lotus and lillies —🌱 When selecting water plants, like lotus and lillies, remember the less hardy and more tropical varieties come in vibrant colors, including blues and purples as opposed to the hardier varieties, like Perry’s Giant Sunburst, that usually come in shades of yellow. The more tropical varieties don’t survive the winter in cold climates and are often treated as other annuals, unless you are able to protection by bringing them inside your garage during the winter. 🌱 You can keep your water plants in the wide-mouthed pot you purchase them in. The container holds a heavier clay soil, which most water plants thrive in.🌱 Plant water lilies about 18-24 inches from the top of their container to the surface of the water. 🌱 Hardy water plants can remain in the pond over the winter, as long as the roots are below where the pond typically freezes. You can also move your plant to a deeper part of your pond to keep from freezing.Most importantly, enjoy your water plants as they bloom this summer!#christiansonsnursery #waterplants #hardywaterplants

We could get lost in the detail and color of delphinium flowers…Pictured are the varieties Aurora Blue and Delgenius Juliette ✨A reminder — with this hot weather we are experiencing, water thoroughly in the morning avoiding the foliage of your plants. Deep watering ensures water is reaching down to the bottom of the roots system, keeping you’re plants healthy and happy.And don’t forget to drink some water yourself! These gardening days are long and hot. #christiansonsnursery #delphiniums #englishgardenperennials #perennialgarden

We are heading into hydrangea season and we aren’t the only ones enjoying their sweet blooms 🐸Frogs love to hang out and perch in the waxy petals of the hydrangeas in Greenhouse 4. An important tip — plant Hydrangea macrophylla varieties in filtered sun/shade and plant Hydrangea paniculata varieties in full sun. Both enjoy rich, well drained soil. Pictured are: Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Blushing Bride’ and Hydrangea paniculata ‘Strawberry Shake’ by @monroviaplants #christiansonsnursery #hydrangeapaniculata #hydrangeamacrophylla #frogsofinstagram
