There’s still time to plant perennials; some are in bloom now!

Do you have perennials blooming in your garden now?

If not, stop in to Mischler’s to find plants that look great in your landscape at this time of year. Even if you do have perennials blooming now, you probably could use a few more.

You can safely plant perennials now through mid-September. That will give the plant enough time to get established. You want the roots to be as deep as possible so the plant doesn’t heave out of the ground during winter.

Cutting garden is in full swing

Stop in and pick up a mix of fresh cut flowers grown in right here at Mischler’s!

Don’t leave anyone out. Send “Mischlers Magic” to a special person. It’s a fresh seasonal selection of flowers arranged professionally in a vase. (You can buy one for yourself, too!)

Looking for something simple? How about a vase of callas or lilies?

NEW! See Mischler’s Plant Finder

Search for shade perennials or vegetables or whatever you need in your garden with Mischler’s new Plant Finder.

The Plant Finder isn’t a current inventory list; it’s an informational tool that can help you create a list of plants for your next project and provide you with detailed plant information.

If you don’t see a certain plant, it may not have made it onto the Plant Finder yet.

If you want to know if a plant is currently available, call Mischler’s at 716-632-1290.

New offerings in houseplants

Our houseplant offerings have been refreshed! Stop in and pick up some plants for your next indoor garden project.

Plants boost your mood and add a cool vibe to your indoor space.

We have large floor plants all the way to beginner-sized 3-inch pots.

For beginners, try a spider plant. It makes loads of pups (little spider plants). Pop them into some soil & share with friends.   

If you have lower light conditions, try peace lily, snake plant or something in the Chinese evergreen family.

Would your gardening friend like new houseplants this winter or prefer to splurge on annuals in spring?

It’s hard to know, but you can cover all your bases with a gift certificate from Mischler’s.

Gift certificates are valid for two years from the date of purchase. This is great for the gardener who wants a lovely fresh cut flower arrangement now or for perennials later in the growing season.

The recipient can use the gift certificate for anything from Mischler’s Floral Shop or Garden Center any time of the year.

Stop by Mischler’s at 118 South Forest Rd., Williamsville and purchase gift certificates in any dollar amount for all your gardening friends.

Succulents: Easy & beautiful!

Succulents are easy to care for– they thrive on neglect! Overwatering even one time can rot the roots and kill the plant, but they can bounce back from drying out. If your container has good drainage and you don’t water too much, your succulent will be happy.

Mischler’s offers 100 varities of succulents! Find them in their signature clay pot in two sizes: three-inch and six-inch pots.

Most require full sun (especially in winter) but some, like varieties of jade and aloe, can handle indirect light.

Some succulents grow slowly, which makes them perfect for windowsills or desks. Others grow quickly and make good statement plants.

There are all sorts of leaf shapes available, including rosettes, spikes, tubes and soft scalloped edges.

There are so many succulents to choose from. Here are highlights of just a few varieties:

• • Echeveria: These popular rose-shaped plants tend to stay compact. They need full sun.

• • Kalanchoe: These fast-growing succulents are enjoyed most for their foliage, but do have interesting blooms.

• • Haworthia: Many of these have translucent windows on leaf ends. They prefer indirect light and are slow-growing.

• • Senecio: This genus includes the popular ‘String of Pearls’, but also includes upright shrub-type plants.

• • Aloe: This genus includes the “burn plant” Aloe vera, but also many lovely decorative varieties.
