"Think Pink" This Weekend at Estabrook's!
What if instead of giving one Mother’s Day gift this season, you could give hundreds?When you shop during "Think Pink Weekend" at Estabrook’s, you can.
Pink Blooms Galore
We're filling our front yard with a special selection of pink flowering plants perfect for Mom this weekend, May 8th and 9th, in Yarmouth, Scarborough and Kennebunk.
A portion of the purchases of these special plants this weekend will be donated to the Cancer Community Center, which has been offering support to cancer victims and their loved ones since 1998.
Pink Ribbon Plants
Double the giving with Pink Ribbon Plants! Pink Ribbon Plants combine distinctive, superior landscape plants with a great cause - to help find a cure for breast cancer, the number one disease that faces women today.
Since 2003, the Pink Ribbon Plants program has raised more than $30,000 to help fund breast cancer research by donating 10% of the wholesale cost of each plant sold. In 2005 the program partnered with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to preventing and finding a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime.
The following Pink Ribbon selections will make a perfect Mother's Day gift for your Mom and millions around the globe. Look for them in their showy pink pots dressed up with a distinctive Pink Ribbon Plant tag.
 |
Rhododendron 'Bubblegum' This plant boasts a dense rounded form and large trusses of bubblegum pink flowers in late April. Small foliage that is deep green with hints of bronze complete the look and will grow a deeper bronze in the winter. |
 |
Dicentra 'King of Hearts' 'King of Hearts' features very floriferous, rosy-pink flowers that will bloom from late spring thru fall above cut gray-green foliage. |
 |
Columbine 'Clementine Rose' The unique, upward-facing, light rose flowers of 'Clementine Rose' emerge in May and resemble a double clematis flower. The blooms will complement the graceful, blue-green lobed foliage nicely. |

Give Mom the Official Plant of Mother's Day
Thanks to their ability to grow on both new and old wood, the Endless Summer collection of Hydrangeas has become one of the most heralded
landscape plants in history.Now, Endless Summer Hydrangea has become the official plant of Mother's Day! Whether mom is an avid gardener or just wants to have a great looking outdoor space, a plant from the Endless Summer Collection is a gift she'll enjoy for years to come.
To keep your Endless Summer Hydrangea looking its best, we recommend following these tips:
Location
Location, location, location! Yes, that old saying is true. The location of your hydrangea in the garden will have the largest impact on bloom production. We recommend planting your Hydrangeas in a location that enables them to receive at least 6 hours of sun with some dappled shade in the afternoon.
PruningDon't treat your Endless Summer Hydrangeas like an Annabelle Hydrangea by cutting them back in the fall or early spring. By cutting to the ground or within a few inches of the ground, most if not all of the buds on old wood are being removed.
Winter Cover
Protection for plants in the first few years is important, as is protection from spring freezes. Since Hydrangea buds emerge early in spring, late freezes may damage bud development as well as any new growth. Keeping the crown of plants covered with mulch through May helps protect these buds and any soft new growth.
Fertilizer
Fertilization is also an important factor in flower production of Hydrangeas. A good quality, slow-release fertilizer applied once in spring or early summer should suffice for all but the most demanding locations. Look for an NPK ratio of around 10-30-10.
Watering
The amount you water is one more factor you can regulate to ensure beautiful blooms. While regular deep waterings are important, your hydrangeas will form large leaves, lots of green growth and few flower buds if over-watered. Like your other landscape plants, we recommend watering 2-3 times a week.
