What is a Tetraploid?
Many of our Seaside Serenade® Hydrangeas are Tetraploids.
Tetraploid plants have more chromosomes, which makes
them sturdier and stronger. For Hydrangeas, this means
a shorter distance between the leaf nodes, keeping the
plant compact. It also makes the stems, leaves, and flowers
thicker and waxier, allowing the blooms to last much longer,

Topiary provide a statement in the garden. They
command attention, create a focal point and provide
a bit of drama. Statement plants are the difference
between an ordinary yard and a beautiful garden
space. Every garden needs one (or two!).
Growing beautiful, structural topiary is a labor
of love. It requires the skill of a craftsman and
patience — many take 8 years or more before they
are perfect enough to ship to a garden center.
We offer more than two dozen different topiary
shapes, made from our best, most reliable varieties.

GROW RESPONSIBLY
Increasingly, gardeners tell us that they want to feel like they’re
connecting to nature, helping nature succeed. Maybe you want
to attract pollinators or support butterflies and birds. You may
be interested in waterwise plants, or in plants that offer more
than one benefit, or can transition from outdoors to indoors as
seasons change. You also want to choose the right plant for the
right place. When you choose a Monrovia plant, you know that it
has been grown in harmony with nature and is meant to thrive
in your region.
