🌼 Late Starters Welcome: It’s Not Too Late to Plant Your Dream Garden!

If you’ve been watching summer sneak in and thinking, “I missed my planting window”—think again. At Redwood Nursery, we believe it’s never too late to grow something beautiful, delicious, or pollinator-friendly. June is still an ideal time to jump in, especially with heat-loving annuals, fast-growing edibles, and native perennials that thrive in Southeastern Massachusetts’ sunny days and warm soil.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to fill in a few gaps, here’s how to make the most of the season right now.

🔥 Go Bold with Heat-Loving Annuals

Late starters can still enjoy a vibrant garden—fast.

Check out our selection of Proven Winners® annuals, famous for their color and performance all summer long. Look for:

• Supertunias – Sun-loving, fast-growing, and self-cleaning.

• Lantana – A butterfly magnet that thrives in heat and drought.

• Zinnias – Quick to bloom and adored by pollinators.

All are ready to go from pot to garden, giving you instant impact and weeks of bloom.

🍅 Quick Rewards with Edibles

Think it’s too late for veggies? Not so fast. We still have warm-weather crops that mature quickly:

• Tomatoes (especially cherry types) – Fruit fast, great in pots or raised beds.

• Bush beans – Fast-growing and prolific.

• Basil & herbs – Perfect for a kitchen garden or patio pot.

Our Espoma® organic soils and fertilizers give your edibles the nutrient-rich boost they need to take off fast.

🌿 Perennials & Natives: Smart Planting Now, Stronger Garden Later

Late spring into summer is a surprisingly good time to plant perennials and native pollinator plants, especially with Coast of Maine compost to help roots settle in.

Join our Plant a Pollinator movement with:

• Echinacea (Coneflowers)

• Milkweed (Asclepias)

• Black-eyed Susans

These plants not only bloom this year, but they’ll come back stronger and support bees, butterflies, and birds for seasons to come.
