Giant Coral Bean, specifically, Erythina x Bidwillii.
This beautiful speciman is a cross between native Coral Bean and Tropical Coral Bean. What that means for your garden is an outstanding, hardy, easy to grow shrub that blooms all summer (unlike the native species which is a Spring only bloomer). Also, this plant is an absolute Hummingbird Magnet! This plant can get quite large, so give it some space. Prefers full sun but will also do nicely in part shade. Freezes back in the winter, but comes back strong in the Spring. Drought, heat and sun tolerant. What more could you ask? Did we mention that Hummingbirds adore it? Come get one today.

Well okay, at Bloomers, we believe all plants are cool! But hey, we all have our favorites. The good news is that we probably have your favorites as well. This has been the year of the Daisy, especially Blackfoot Daisy.

Our Spring Garden Seminar Series was a big hit, so we are currently working on lining up some more great classes. Stay tuned for more info and class schedule.

Sweet Potato Slips are in stock again. They are going fast, so hurry and get some. We have Beauregard, Georgia Jets and Bunch Puerto Rico's (a dwarf variety for small garden spaces). Sweet Potatos are easy to grow and stand up well to our summers. Pick up a growning guide at the nursery.

Honor your father and Mother, that your days may be long... (Exodus 20: 12, italics mine). That's right, Mothers' Day is quickly approaching and if you are reading this, then there is a high probability that you have a mother or at least know someone who has a mother, (ask your kids, they might be able to jog your memory). The wise, considerate, thoughtful, loving, caring, and yes biblical thing to do is to Honor her. How you choose to do that is entirely up to you! However, when in doubt, it never hurts to buy her something nice from Bloomers. After all, we are Mom-approved! Well, at least our own moms approve of us! The pretty lass pictured below is my mom, before I was even a glimmer in her eye! And yes, my mom approves of this message!

This Native beauty loves sun and heat, two things Texas has plenty of. Needs very good drainage to thrive, blooms from Spring through Fall. We have been selling these almost as soon as they come off the truck. The good news is we have restocked and have a gorgeous selection in the nursery right now.
