At Pender Nursery we are starting a recycling program for our used pots. We will be working with Blue Ridge Plastics who will be accepting our used pots. It will save us from taking up extra space in the dumpster, which costs us money, and the plastic will not end up in a landfill, but into products that contain recycled material.

Representatives from Blue Ridge Plastics came to the nursery for a tour and checked out our pot pile. Almost everything we have will work. Blue Ridge Plastics processes Post-Industrial and Post-Consumer plastic scrap at its plant in Eden NC. Blue Ridge specializes in the grinding and washing of any olefin (ethylenes andf propylenes) to produce clean, extruder-ready regrinds.

So join Pender Nursery in making this a greener, cleaner world. Recycle!

This new and exciting dwarf butterfly bush was developed by Dr. Dennis Werner, director or the JC Raulton Arboretum and a plant breeder in the NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. 'Blue Chip' is the first release in the Lo and Behold™ series of dwarf Buddleia.

Offering multi-season color and interest, Encore Azaleas make a great base plant for container plantings. Whether your hometown often experiences winters that are a little too frosty for Encore Azaleas, or you live in warmer regions and just want to add an impressive accent to your patio, Encore Azaleas can brighten any area now! The sky is the limit with these impressive blooming azaleas; add mixes of perennials, annuals, grasses, or cascading plants to make unique and interesting combinations of brilliant color and texture.

Also, under the Plant Guide you will see a Search bullet. This search feature allows you to search by botanical name, common name, or other parameters such as sun requirements, height, water requirements, etc. to find the right plant for a particular location. Good luck in your search!

Hardy geranium, also known as cransbill, is well suited for zones 5-8. They should not to be confused with the florist geranium (Pelargonium) which is an annual. Hardy geraniums are a valuable addition in most garden situations from full sun to part shade, although in hotter climates half shade would be preferable. Due to a large increase in popularity over the past decade, hundreds of new varieties have been introduced in recent years. Out of this flurry of new varieties there is a wide range of climatic variability and many have turned out to be inferior selections.

'Rozanne' is one of these recently introduced varieties, but stands apart from the rest due to its vigorous habit, heat tolerance, and extended bloom period. 'Rozanne' was found in the garden of Donald and Rozanne Waterer in Somerset, England in 1989, and released by Blooms of Bressingham in 2000. 'Rozanne is a cross between Geranium himalayense and Geranium wallichianum 'Buxton's Variety'.

'Rozanne' develops a mounding habit 20" high and 24-30" in spread. Foliage is deeply lobed and dark green with light marbling. 2.5" iridescent violet-blue flowers are cup-shaped, with darker veining and a light center. 'Rozanne' is a sterile hybrid which extends the bloom time is from late spring to early fall. Should plants start to look ragged during the summer months, shear the plants back to 3" above the ground to rejuvenate growth for a fall full of color.

'Rozanne' works well for the front of the border and as a companion plant with many other perennials, including Phlox paniculata, Hemerocallis, Iris and ornamental grasses. It prefers moist well drained garden soils, but will tolerate a wide range of soil and climatic conditions.
