Exotic Clematis

The vine of the times right now is clematis. Our customers will really be snatching these up!Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

Winding, twining, lacy tendrils adorned with masses of tropical-looking flowers. Clematis is one vine that gets noticed…..

Kings Flower Nursery since 1896We love the look of this when it’s allowed to clamber up through climbing roses, creating a bouquet effect with the two types of flowers blooming together. Try it spilling out of a hanging basket, where it can mound, cascade and wind upward all at once. Use it to fill up sections of chainlink fence for a spectacular ‘living wall’ of color, or guide it up a post for a fountain effect. Add even more ‘wow’ when you blend several colors and styles in the same area.

Grow clematis anywhere that you’ve got some sun. It’s happy in the ground or in containers, especially when there’s something planted beneath that will keep the roots nice and cool. The only maintenance it generally requires is once a year pruning; some types don’t even need that.Kings Flower Nursery since 1896 Provide the usual good drainage (as with most things you plant).

There are so many kinds available, most with large flowers- some can get 10″ across! We’ve got lots in stock right now, soon-to-be setting flowerbuds and ready to climb. Come check ’em out!

Old-Fashioned Lilacs

Our huge selection of Lilacs are here!

Nothing sweeter than fragrant lilacs in spring. Just snip a few of the clusters and bring them inside- mmmm….Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

This is the perfect time of year to get lilacs from the nursery. Look for sizeable plants with even, vigorous new buds and thick, strong branches. The flowers are traditionally lavender, but you also see them in pink, white, blue, wine red and even dark purple with white edges.

There are several reasons we love them:Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

Butterflies and other pollinators love the flowers as much as we do.

Deer tend to leave them alone.

Watering is minimal once established; I have one mature specimen that does beautifully with no irrigation at all.

Sun Exposure is something lilacs thrive upon. Bring on the heat! You can also grow them in partial sun.

Size is not massive, and easily controlled by pruning right after the bloomtime.Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

These can be really versatile, too. Grow them as a hedge to get masses of color, or feature a single specimen as a focal point in your landscape. Mix them into your butterfly garden. Put a few in pots to brighten up the deck in springtime. Harvest the flowers for plentiful bouquets, since they last quite long when cut.

Use Master Nursery Planting mix right out of the bag for container planting; mix it 50/50 with the native soil when planting in-ground. Don’t forget to add a dos of Masterstart to get those roots growing.

There’s even a dwarf variety, ‘Bloomerang’,that will bloom in flushes through spring and summer. What will they think of next?

Ours are extra fat this season, having had some exceptional chilling this past winter. Lots of flowerbuds on these vigorous shrubs, and great selection of different sizes and colors right now, so stop by!Kings Flower Nursery since 1896Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

Fabulous Early Bloomers to Plant Now

Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

Pieris Japonica- showy!

Most days, while driving frantically to and fro, I don’t pay much attention to things that are growing within my view. The occasional bright yellow daffodil flower, orange poppies or glowing red leaves in the vineyard might catch my eye, but most days I’m focused on my destination rather than the journey itself.

Lately I’ve been noticing several of those kinds of plants- splashes of flowering glory……what I am talking about are early-season flowers, those newly opening signs of spring, many of which are really spectacular!

Gorgeous magnolias (tulip trees), pink and white flowering plum and cherry, brightly-colored quince, golden forsythia, potently fragrant wisteria. Lilacs for sweet-smelling bouquets. Old fashioned dogwood trees, covered in perfectly-formed flowers. Bare branches suddenly burst open with color, a dazzling display that is starting right now.

Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

‘Amethyst Falls’ wisteria

In the shade garden are helleborus that are fully bloomed out, sturdy white flowers that will age to a wine color. Pieris are dripping with strands of hanging ‘bells’, and the camellias are going full blast, with new flowers opening every day.

And DAPHNE! The perfume alone stops me in my tracks, but the pretty evergreen leaves and girly pink flower buds are equally inspiring.

Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

Black Tullip’ magnolia flower

Out front there are some evergreen vines that are starting to pop, like evergreen clematis and jasmine. Hardenbergia, or lilac vine, is also in full glory, with plentiful lavender sprays.

We have all this and more starting to bloom now in our nursery- come by and check out all your options for a show-stopping addition to your garden!

Peonies are Here!

We’ve got a nice big crop of peonies here! They will be sprouting buds and foliage very quickly! Our peonies are big and full and will bloom beautifully this season- no waiting for years to see a flower. Ready to spring forth with lush foliage and plump buds, and ready to take home now so you can enjoy the unfurling springtime show.

Never grown peonies before? If you like to cut bouquets you will LOVE them! You gotta see these things in bloom…..

Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

‘Takara’ Itoh peony

We are thrilled to grow peonies every year. Lush plants that have ripe, colorful buds, exotic leaves and breathtaking flowers.

Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

‘Pink Double Dandy’

The peony has always been my dream flower, with it’s distinctive petals and sweet old-fashioned perfume- almost too perfect looking to be real! A photo doesn’t do this beauty proper justice, and if you’ve seen these blooms in reality you know how breathtaking they are.

We’ve got several different kinds right now, grown in large enough containers so as to readily bloom this year. They’re long-lived perennials that can give you lifelong bouquets, and will thrive here in Sonoma County with minimal care when planted properly.

Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

Fat juicy buds

To start, choose a spot that gets full (or at least afternoon) sun. If you’re putting your peony in the ground, work lots of rich compost like Paydirt into the hole, and add some starter fertilizer like Masterstart. This will not only add proper nutrients like nitrogen and phospherous, but will also break up heavy clay soil and promote good drainage. If you’d like to plant in a container, that’s fine- just use Planting Mix straight from the bag, but don’t forget that starter fertilizer.

Kings Flower Nursery since 1896

‘Bowl of Beauty’ bush peony

Kings Flower Nursery since 1896The most recently developed peonies are exceptionally lush and leafy, with loads of flowers and a more extended bloomtime than old-fashioned kinds. These are the intersectional hybrids called Itoh (eye-toe), a vigorous cross between bush-type and tree-type. You really get the best of both worlds here- flower colors and foliage like the exotic tree peonies, but with the bushier habit and sun tolerance of standard bush peonies.

Cut flower aficionados are just wild about the blooms- extra-large, long-lasting, fragrant, and just downright show-stopping! When you cut a budded stem that is beginning to open, it will continue blooming in the vase for quite a while. Gorgeous!

Cruise on in to check out of our peony selection, and while you’re here we can certainly answer your questions and/or help you pick out the right one for your garden.
