Exclusive 50% Savings on All Shrubs and Perennials

Although often overlooked, the fall is a great time to plant. The weather is cooler, the pace is more leisurely than the spring, and perhaps most importantly, you can find great savings on plant material.

Our fall clearance sale doesn't start until October 1st here at Estabrook's, but as a newsletter subscriber, we'd like to extend these amazing savings to you starting today!

All shrubs and perennials are now 50% OFF their retail price for preferred customers. Simply provide your phone number at check-out to receive these instant savings.

Here are some of the great plants you'll find on sale at Estabrook's:

Aster

Asters

Boasting superior mildew and rust resistance, the 'Wood's' series of perennial asters will shower your garden with an abundance of blue or pink flowers over deep green foliage on compact plants. The perfect September perennial to bring loads of fall color!

Evergreen Shrub

Evergreen Shrubs

A staple in the Maine landscape, evergreen shrubs will provide your garden with stability and cheerful green color all winter long. Choose from a great selection of Pine, Spruce, Juniper, Cedar and more.

Sedum

'Autumn Joy' Sedum

'Autumn Joy' forms a dense rounded mound with flat clusters of pale green florets that slowly turn bright pink, rose, copper, and then bronze over a two month period beginning in July. It will also provide lasting winter interest.

Fall Window Boxes with Flair

Fall Window Box
Celebrate the season with festive fall window boxes from Estabrook's

Window box decor doesn't need to end when the geraniums begin to look tired. September and October are filled with beautiful plant material to revitalize your window boxes and give your home the sparkle of autumn in Maine.

Beyond Mums and Pansies

Mums and pansies are classic additions to a fall display but also think about including interesting foliage. Grasses, heucheras, or kale give combinations gorgeous color and texture. You might even be able to reuse a few of your summer annuals - verbena, scaevola or lantana, for example - since these plants enjoy the cool temperatures of fall. Osteospermum daisies are also an eye-catching cool weather favorite.

Fresh and Fragrant Herbs

Herbs may also be added to late season window boxes. Not only do sage, thyme and parsley offer texture and color, they also impart a lovely fragrance. Several types of "indoor" ivy would also tolerate being outdoors during the fall months.

Finishing Touches

Don't be afraid to add a few silk leaves or other "everlasting botanicals" for even more pizzazz. Gourds and small pumpkins also look great tucked in among the plants. Finish off your decorations with large orange pumpkins, white pumpkins, unusual squashes and cornstalks.

Be creative, have fun and your home will have a cozy, inviting look of autumn!
