Annuals
Croton ‘Petra’
Latin Name: Codiaeum variegatum ‘Petra’. Categories: Tropical, Houseplant, Annual. Hardiness: Zones 10 and higher (tropical). Croton ‘Petra’, with its colorful, attractive foliage, is a tropical plant that is used as a year ‘round houseplant or summer annual during the growing season. Uses: Landscape beds and borders, planters. Did you know? Petra loves humidity; it should be perfectly happy with our humid Long Island summers. And ‘Petra’ can transition indoors before frost. Watch the weather; cold temperatures will cause leaf drop. The tricky part about bringing it indoors - trying to replicate the same sunny conditions it enjoyed outdoors. Always worth a try; Additional Information: LIGHT - Full sun to part sun. WATER - Moist, well-drained soils; avoid overwatering.
Nemesia
Latin Name: Nemesia. Category: Annual. Sometimes mistakenly called amnesia (!), Nemesia is a wonderful flowering annual that resembles a miniature snapdragon. Popular in spring, Nemesia easily transitions to warm season planters for continued enjoyment through fall. Uses: Nemesia is great for hanging baskets, window boxes and other planters. Did you know? Nemesia is considered a low maintenance plant; deadheading spent blooms is not necessary. Fertilize with a bloom-promoting product according to label directions. Some varieties of Nemesia are fragrant; Additional Information: LIGHT - Full sun or partial shade. WATER - Soil should be moist, yet well-drained. Avoid overwatering and planting in heavy soils.
Persian Buttercup
Latin Name: Ranunculus. Categories: Houseplant, Spring Annual. Ranunculus, adored for their full, showy flowers in a wide array of bright colors, are cool season bloomers for outdoor spring planters and window boxes. They bloom spring through early summer. Once temperatures heat up, Ranunculus fade and make room for warm season annuals to fill their spaces. No space for outdoor planting? They easily transition for indoor display in cooler rooms with adequate light. Uses: Planters, beds and borders, window boxes. Did you know? Ranunculus flowers can be cut for indoor enjoyment. Although generally treated as an annual, Ranunculus can be considered a perennial if you dig up the tubers in late summer. Tubers should be stored in a 50-55 degree location until you are ready to start them once again in mid-winter; Additional Information: LIGHT - Sunny locations. WATER - Soil should be moist, yet well-drained.
Primrose
Latin name: Primula polyanthus. Category: Annual, perennial. A late winter /early spring bloomer that delights with showy flowers in a myriad of colors! Use: Great for early spring planters and window boxes; use in combination with tulips, daffodils and other spring flowering beauties. Did you know? Remove spent blooms (stems, too) to keep plants healthy and productive. Divide and replant overcrowded plants after spring bloom. Annual or perennial - both! Some treat Primula polyanthus as an annual and toss the plant after blooming. Others will plant this hardy spring-blooming perennial in their garden to enjoy for years to come. If you elect to treat it as a perennial, read on. Choose a location that offers a rich, humus soil that is slight acidic and well-drained. (Heavy soils should be amended with compost or composted manure prior to planting.) The ideal garden location – full sun in spring, followed by partial shade during the summer months (think groundcover, and plant under favorite landscape trees like dogwood). The goal is to keep the roots cool during summer’s heat; Additional Information: LIGHT - Bright light, but not direct light. WATER - Moist; never water-logged. Additional humidity indoors is helpful.
Houseplants & Tropicals
Calla Lily
Latin name: Zantedeschia aethiopica. Categories: Annuals; Houseplants. Native to South Africa, calla lilies delight with unusual, showy flowers. Whites, yellows, pinks, and more are the most popular colors that are typically found. Attractive upright leaves, some varieties are spotted, add to the beauty of this plant. Potted plants or tubers that you can pot and grow can be purchased during spring. Uses: indoor enjoyment during the winter months; containers and garden beds during the summer months. Did you know? Callas can be more than just indoor plants. This multi-purpose plant can also be grown for cut flowers (bridal bouquets often feature calla blooms) or as bedding plants for the garden; Additional Information: HEIGHT - 1-2’ depending on variety. WIDTH - 1-2’ depending on variety. LIGHT - bright. WATER - soil should be moist, not saturated.
Croton ‘Petra’
Latin Name: Codiaeum variegatum ‘Petra’. Categories: Tropical, Houseplant, Annual. Hardiness: Zones 10 and higher (tropical). Croton ‘Petra’, with its colorful, attractive foliage, is a tropical plant that is used as a year ‘round houseplant or summer annual during the growing season. Uses: Landscape beds and borders, planters. Did you know? Petra loves humidity; it should be perfectly happy with our humid Long Island summers. And ‘Petra’ can transition indoors before frost. Watch the weather; cold temperatures will cause leaf drop. The tricky part about bringing it indoors - trying to replicate the same sunny conditions it enjoyed outdoors. Always worth a try; Additional Information: LIGHT - Full sun to part sun. WATER - Moist, well-drained soils; avoid overwatering.
Norfolk Island Pine
Latin name: Araucaria heterophylla. Category: Houseplant. Hardiness Zones: 10-11 (not hardy on Long Island year-round). Norfolk Island pine is an exotic conifer native to Norfolk Island in the southern Pacific Ocean. Hardy in the United States to zones 10-11 (think Miami); NIP is cold sensitive to temperatures lower than 40 F. Indoor daytime temperatures should be in the 60-70 degree F range; somewhat cooler at night. On Long Island, it is grown as an indoor plant except during the summer months. Norfolk Island pine grows best in very bright light areas in the home. You’ll know if it’s not receiving enough light; the plant’s branches will droop. For best results, keep the soil barely moist. (Do not let excess water to collect in the pot’s saucer.) If and when you repot, use a potting soil that drains readily. If you want to spoil your NIP, provide ample humidity. Use a humidifier in the room or a pebble tray to boost needed air moisture. Fertilize when actively growing. Allow the plant to ‘rest’ (translation: no fertilizer) during the winter months. When you do fertilize, read and follow label directions; Additional Information: LIGHT - very bright light. WATER - keep soil barely moist.

Native to China, Korea & Manchuria, ‘Karasuba’ delights with white, star-shaped flowers that rise above the leaves in April and May. Fabulous foliage – green fan-like leaves in early spring give way to reddish tips in summer that mature to red in fall. And if you’re looking to add textural interest to your garden, Mukdenia provides it throughout the growing season with its beautiful leaves. Uses: woodland, shade or rock gardens; containers. Did you know? ‘Karasuba’ is a low maintenance perennial that can be planted in full sun, providing consistent soil moisture is given. Plants spread slowly by creeping rhizomes allowing it naturalize where planted. Cut back in late fall as you prepare the garden for winter; Additional Information: HEIGHT - 12-16”. WIDTH - 20-24”. LIGHT - partial shade/partial sun. WATER - Moist, well-drained soil.

Trees & Shrubs
Coral Bark Japanese Maple
Latin name: Acer palmatum ‘Sango Kaku’. Category: Deciduous Tree. Hardiness zones: Zones 5-8. The ever-popular Coral Bark Maple, ‘Sango Kaku’, has bright salmon coral colored bark in winter. The foliage is lime green in spring that darkens as summer temperatures warm; fall color is yellow or yellow mixed with orange. It is very important to site this tree properly, the more sun in winter the better the bark color. Some afternoon summer shade will keep the foliage attractive. Can be transplanted – either balled and burlapped or as a container plant. Clay soils (heavy soils that are typically found on the North Shore) should be amended with organic matter – compost or composted manure prior to planting to improve poor drainage. Apply 1” of water per week; remember to factor in any rainfall. Then, allow the soil to begin to dry slightly between waterings. Shallow-rooted, Japanese maples prefer a light covering (1-2”) of an organic mulch to protect the roots. Do not mulch around the trunk of the plant. Did you know? Best used as a single specimen tree in the garden or landscape; Additional Information: HEIGHT - 15-18’. WIDTH - 8-10’. LIGHT - part sun to dappled shade but also does well in full sun. WATER - Moist, well-drained soil.
Dogwood
Latin name: Cornus florida ‘Rubra’. Category: Deciduous Tree. Hardiness zones: Zones 5-9. This elegant pink dogwood starts blooming when only 4-6' tall. Produces masses of deep pink flowers even before the leaves appear (late April); holds color for 3 or 4 weeks. Bears shiny red berries in late summer that make a tasty snack for visiting songbirds. Crimson fall color. A water ring, sometimes called a water well, is a mound of soil that is built around the circumference of a planting hole once a plant has been installed. The water ring helps to direct water to the outer edges of a planting hole, encouraging new roots to grow outward, in search of moisture. Moist and well drained means exactly what it sounds like – soil is moist without being soggy. Most plants like about 1” of water per week. Amend soil with compost or composted manure prior to planting. Established plants can benefit from fertilization. Fertilizers that are high in nitrogen (N) will promote green leafy growth. Excess nitrogen in the soil can cause excessive vegetative growth at the expense of flower bud development. It is best to avoid fertilizing late in the growing season. Applications made at that time can force lush, vegetative growth that will not have a chance to harden off before the onset of cold weather. Fertilizer should be applied in early spring or Thanksgiving. Did you know? This dogwood grows well even in the shade of larger trees. Best used as specimen flowering tree; Additional Information: HEIGHT - 20’-30’. WIDTH - 20’-25’. LIGHT - Full sun to part sun. WATER - Prefers moist, well-drained soil.
Japanese Cedar
Latin name: Cryptomeria japonica ‘Yoshino’. Category: Evergreen Tree. Hardiness zones: Zones 5-9. Crytopmeria provides a tall, dense, evergreen screen, or can be used as a graceful specimen for the landscape. Provides textural and color contrast to the landscape. The summer needle color is glistening blue-green; growth rate is fast. Established plants can benefit from fertilization. Fertilizers that are high in N, nitrogen, will promote green leafy growth. Excess nitrogen in the soil can cause excessive vegetative growth on plants at the expense of flower bud development. It is best to avoid fertilizing late in the growing season. Applications made at that time can force lush, vegetative growth that will not have a chance to harden off before the onset of cold weather. Apply fertilizer in early spring or Thanksgiving. A water ring, sometimes called a water well, is a mound of compacted soil that is built around the circumference of a planting hole once a plant has been installed. The water ring helps to direct water to the outer edges of a planting hole, encouraging new roots to grow outward, in search of moisture. Moist and well drained means exactly as it sounds – soil is moist without being soggy. Most plants like about 1 inch of water per week. Amend soil with compost or composted manure prior to planting. Did you know? Cryptomeria is an excellent plant for screening/privacy. Provides a shade-tolerant screening alternative to ‘Leyland’ cypress in the landscape; Additional Information: HEIGHT - 25’-30’. WIDTH - 6’-10’. SPACING - Plant 6’-7’ from center to center. LIGHT - Full sun to part sun. WATER - Prefers moist, well-drained soil.
Mikawa Yatsubusa Japanese Maple
Latin name: Acer palmatum ‘Mikawa Yatsubusa’. Category: Deciduous Tree. Hardiness zones: Zones 5-8. The very best of the upright dwarfs.

Can be transplanted – either balled and burlapped or as a container plant. Clay soils (heavy soils that are typically found on the North Shore) should be amended with organic matter – compost or composted manure prior to planting to improve poor drainage. Apply 1” of water per week; remember to factor in any rainfall. Then, allow the soil to begin to dry slightly between waterings. Shallow-rooted, Japanese maples prefer a light covering (1-2”) of an organic mulch to protect the roots. Do not mulch around the trunk of the plant. Did you know?

WATER - Moist, well-drained soil.
Oshio Beni Japanese Maple
Latin name: Acer palmatum ‘Oshio Beni’. Category: Deciduous Tree. Hardiness zones: Zones 5-8. Oshio Beni is a favorite upright tree among Japanese maple enthusiasts. Spring color is red with a hint of orange but quickly matures to a deep purple. It holds its color through the growing season with hints of a little green by the end of summer. Leaves turn striking red in fall and hold that color until they drop. Can be transplanted – either balled and burlapped or as a container plant. Clay soils (heavy soils that are typically found on the North Shore) should be amended with organic matter – compost or composted manure prior to planting to improve poor drainage. Apply 1” of water per week; remember to factor in any rainfall. Then, allow the soil to begin to dry slightly between waterings. Shallow-rooted, Japanese maples prefer a light covering (1-2”) of an organic mulch to protect the roots. Do not mulch around the trunk of the plant. Did you know?

Latin name: Cornus kousa ‘Samaritan’. Category: Deciduous Tree. Hardiness zones: Zones 5-8. ‘Samaritan’ is truly a beautiful specimen tree with showy green and white variegated leaves. Showy bracts (flowers) in early summer give way to red fruit in fall. Be sure to plant ‘Samaritan’ in well-drained, acidic soils and provide adequate moisture. Established plants can benefit from fertilization. Fertilizers that are high in nitrogen (N) will promote green leafy growth. Excess nitrogen in the soil can cause excessive vegetative growth at the expense of flower bud development. It is best to avoid fertilizing late in the growing season. Applications made at that time can force lush, vegetative growth that will not have a chance to harden off before the onset of cold weather. Fertilizer should be applied in early spring or Thanksgiving. A water ring, sometimes called a water well, is a mound of soil that is built around the circumference of a planting hole once a plant has been installed.

LIGHT - Full sun to part sun. WATER - Prefers moist, well-drained soil.
Viridis Japanese Maple
Latin name: Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Viridis’. Category: Deciduous Tree. Hardiness zones: Zones 5-8. ‘Viridis’ is a beautiful green lace-leaf Japanese maple forming a mounding shape.

Shallow-rooted, Japanese maples prefer a light covering (1-2”) of an organic mulch to protect the roots. Do not mulch around the trunk of the plant. Did you know?

Info
All signs are printed on Genesis Husk paper
located in Tray 2 of both HP 8500 and HP 4550N printers
All Outdoor Signage is created without the thick green border
(because they go in sign holders that have borders the fall around the sign), use "Outdoor Template" - whatever size needed. Cut the paper sign along the crop marks, then laminate. Cut the laminated border to be 0.25 inch on all sides
All Indoor Signage is created with a thick green border
(because they are placed in sign holders that simply hold them up, so the border needs to be created on the actual sign), use "Indoor Template" - whatever size needed. Cut the paper sign along the green border, then laminate. Cut the laminated sign tightly along the sign, but be sure to leave it sealed
Greenhouse has its own template.
"8V-GHS Template" The printed sign will be 7x9 - cut along the crop marks. Laminate, then cut a 0.5 inch border on all sides
See enclosed signage samples
for each department's respective signs and guidelines for font sizes used
Always use Avant Garde as the font for signage, but when using "$" - be sure to make it Arial.
All Herbal Poetry Signs should be cut along crop marks, and laminated
with a 0.25 border on sides and top, and a 5.25 inch border along the bottom (will be inserted behind Herb signage and will fit so it shows in full above it)
