Plant Sale FAQ

Please note that plant pick-up is one day only.  If you cannot pick-up your plants on that day, please arrange for someone else to pick them up for you.  The Wheaton Garden Club cannot be responsible for the condition of plants not picked up on May 18th.

What’s New for 2024:

  • We’ve added some new plants in the 4.5” size, including some new Coleus, Petunia, Salvia, Sweet Potato Vine, and Zinnia options.
  • We’ve also added the following new items:
    • Begonia Pegasus – A Begonia grown for its dramatic foliage.
    • Exacum Jupiter (Persian Violet) – A shade loving plant in blue or white.
    • Helianthus Suncredible – An everblooming sunflower with 4″ blooms that don’t require deadheading. This is from Proven Winners.
    • Muehlenbeckia (Creeping Wire Vine) – A great, low growing accent for pots.
    • Nepeta (Catmint) Cat’s Meow – A Proven Winners variety that has dense, colorful flower spikes that don’t flop. Great in landscapes, as well as pots. Hardy to zone 3.
  • We’re now offering Verbena hanging baskets in a variety of colors.
  • Ivy Geranium hanging baskets are no longer available. Our grower said that the Calliope Geraniums he is using in all Geranium baskets have similar characteristics but perform better. Ivy Geraniums are still available in 4.5″ pots.
  • In our Specialty Offerings category, we now have 2 new Tropical Calla lilies – one is peach with a bronze leaf, the other is orange with a green leaf.

Note:

  • Pick-up is one day only, Saturday, May 18th.  If you cannot pick-up your plants on that day, please arrange for someone else to pick them up for you.  The Wheaton Garden Club cannot be responsible for the condition of plants not picked up on May 18th.
  • Since we are required to order full cases of each item, we have reduced the plants that we are offering to exclude items for which there were very few purchases last year.
  • Occasionally, our grower substitutes items for those that were ordered.  If your order is affected by this, we will give you the option of accepting the substitution or removing the unavailable item from your order.
  • If a plant is a “Proven Winners” selection, we have noted that in the description of the plant. The Proven Winners website is especially helpful for more information about their plants. This information includes reviews, awards, and recipes for combinations with other plants.
  • We recommend the Ball Seed website for additional information about plants that are not “Proven Winners”.
