New this Week!

May 2, 2023

 

A Wide selection of Roses, Peppers, Tomatoes, Pots and Planters!

This week, we have a great selection of Colorado-adapted, healthy, plants.
Choose from pepper and tomato plants, herbs, flowering annuals, native and non-native perennials, shrubs, trees, fruiting bushes and fruit trees. Plus the pots and planters you’ll need this season.

Since 1992, we have operated our nursery organically, and plants are neither sprayed with toxic pesticides nor fertilized with chemical fertilizers.

ALL OF THE PLANTS AT HARLEQUIN’S GARDENS HAVE BEEN FREE OF NEONICOTINOID PESTICIDES SINCE 2015.

Quantities are limited.

Jude the Obscure

This week’s highlights – David Austin Roses  Many own-root roses are being added to our shelves this week, including David Austin Roses. Arguably the most gifted rose breeder of our time, David Austin has taken the best of heritage roses (fragrance, beauty and health) and combined them with desirable traits of modern roses (repeat bloom, disease resistance and compact size) and combined them to create gorgeous garden plants. We’re bringing out over-wintered plants several times a week, so check frequently for your favorites. We have grown many, and are proud to offer these varieties in 2023: Abraham Darby, Benjamin Britten, The Poet’s Wife, Lilian Austin, Jude the Obscure (grafted), Crown Princess Marguerite, Golden Celebration, Molyneux, Princess Ann, and Tess of the D’urbervilles.

 

 

The Poet’s Wife – This own-root rose has large, rich yellow blooms, and is a repeat-bloomer. Fragrance is strong and fruity. It’s a medium-sized shrub, 4′ x 4′.

Abraham Darby

Abraham Darby –  A vigorous shrub with large, cup-shaped flowers in apricot and yellow shades. Rich fragrance. 5’x5′.

Tess of the D’urbervilles – This own-root rose is a compact climber with large, bright red booms, and an Old Rose fragrance. 8′ maximum, a bit shorter here in Colorado.

 

 

Pots and Planters, and Soil Products

More Ceramic pots are in now, including terracotta and glazed pots in classic shapes. as well as Root Pouch Bags (a great, low-priced, lightweight fabric pot for balcony gardening)

, and self-watering Earth Boxes for your planting needs.

 

 

 

 

Two great soil products are now in-stock:

Premium Planter’s and Raised Bed Soil Mix – for planting trees, shrubs, annuals and veggies. Mix 50-50 with topsoil or use in raised beds and pots.  Nutrients for leaf and flower growth. A balance of nutrients to grow both leaves and flowers: NPK, trace minerals, organic matter, with good porosity. Remains loose for years to come, good water-holding capacity. Important to water in thoroughly after planting. Ingredients: dairy cow manure compost, composted hardwood humus, coarse sand, pesticide-free topsoil.

Dairy Cow and Hardwood Compost Blend – Dairy cow manure compost mixed with well-composted hardwood sawdust. Managed without hormones; antibiotics not used preventively. Local fertilizer: reuses waste, builds soil, natural source of nitrogen and carbon. Spread 1” layer and work into soil. Don’t overdo it, more than 1” can burn.
