Watters Garden Center of Prescott Valley’s Monsoon Madness Plant Sale is underway and the sizzling summer savings are not to be missed. It’s the wise gardener who takes advantage of some irresistible good bargains.
Expect savings from 25% to 65% off, 1/2 price on select plants and flowers, 30-70% off of blooming shrubs, 50% off summer perennials, and up to 70% off of big trees! Plus vines and roses are discounted.
If you’ve been considering a landscape addition to create more seasonal excitement in the garden, now is the time. Labor Day is the official start of fall planting in our area, and that means that there are two months left of our growing season. Whether planting some of the past season’s stock or new arrivals, the plants have plenty of time to develop extensive root systems before winter.
A perennial’s chance at success definitely is increased when planted during the monsoon season. Many that bloom in late summer and autumn are especially happy when planted this time of year. With the exception of mums, nurseries DO NOT want any perennial plants left as they transition into the autumn planting season.
So, if the plant you want isn’t on sale, ask for a discount. Nurseries are remarkably receptive to giving you “a deal”, especially when you offer to take home more than one plant.
These end-of-season bargains only last through Labor Day so be sure to visit today!
