It’s getting blistery, snowy and cold at Potters 192… ok just kidding! But the Christmas decor is coming out fast and furious! Lots of new giftware too! Come and check us out, we are on the corner of 48th Ave and 192nd St on the Surrey/Langley border. Well worth the drive!

African Fanfare Heather

Although tender, this great shrubby heather makes the perfect addition to any summer/ fall arrangement . With it’s abundant tubular, melon-coloured flowers and chartreuse foliage it is sure to turn heads. It would make a great companion to Sedum ‘Xenox’ or Heuchera ‘Obsidian’

Scented Tulips!

Wow! Potter’s 72nd just got in some scented tulips! What could be better than a large-flowered fragrant tulip? The answer… NOTHING! Fall bulbs are here!

Colour Again!

After the late-summer clear-out of our spring/ summer stock people think Potter’s might be low on colour.. but they’re wrong! We’ve stocked up with mums, aster and pansies and we’re chock full of colour again! We have mum tubs, large asters, leafy little kales, packs of glorious pansies… there’s lots to choose from in the fall season and bulbs should be here soon, if they aren’t already here by the time you read this. I love the fall season at Potter’s!

Autumn Decor At Potters 192

Holly — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 12:24:25 +0000

Potters 192 is getting ready for Christmas in a big way! But first, it’s fall and Halloween. We just got in some very reasonably priced fall decor items and some very cool witch hats and witch figurines. Here are the girls showing off some of our new goodies.

Autumn Crocus

So I just got in some of our fall bulbs and one that I ordered caught my eye. Colchium “The Giant’ is a autumn crocus that gets planted now and you enjoy next fall. What is unique about these bulbs is that the are great for naturalizing an area and their leaves come out first, die off, then you get a pink flower emerging from the soil in the fall! What more can you ask for?

Coneflower Crazy!!!

Scott — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 15:31:28 +0000

Being that our plant of the month this month is the cone flower. I went out and ordered a selection of exciting new echinaceas. They range in colour from a deep coral red to a light, clean pink. Some are fragrant and some are doubles. Hot lava is a choice example that has fragrant blooms that emerge vermilion then fade to pink -orange. We have 10 or so varieties in stock right now that are all in full bloom.

Hot, Hot, Hot

Boy, it’s been beautiful weather lately, hasn’t it? Does anybody remember that they were wearing winter jackets up until the end of June? Well, I guess I do… regardless, with all this sunny weather I want to remind everybody to water those annual planters and baskets really well. By this point your planters are probably overflowing with growth and that growth is going to need plenty of water on these hot, hot days. I’m not nagging you.. just a gentle reminder!

Ephemerals

Scott — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:27:57 +0000

You might have noticed that little sections in your woodland garden have gone bare . Well don’t overreact and instantly blame your husband and his crazy friends. There is an explanation for this. Some plants come out early in the season, bloom,then go dormant and disappear later on. These plants are called ephemerals. Some examples of ephemerals are bleeding hearts and Trilliums.
