Fresh Color to Keep you 'til Spring
Although temperatures are still leaning below freezing, everyone is itching to get planting and to see some green! While we start our seeds and patiently wait for warmer weather, here are a few of our eye-catching, spring-y favorites to bring some color and life to your space in the meantime!
Pink Jasmine
Fill your home with sweet fragrance with these delicate beauties! Try styling hanging baskets in a Luna sphere pot with a macrame hanger. Pop 4" plants into a whimsical, soft purple Swirl pot.
- Light: bright, indirect light
- Soil: Fox Farm Coco Loco Potting Mix
- Water: water when the first few inches are dry to the touch
- Fertilizer: fertilize all growing season to ensure vigorous growth & repeat blooming
Pink jasmine are a true jasmine variety (Jasminum polyanthum), meaning that they are safe for pets!

Oxalis
What plant says "It's finally March!" better than Oxalis? These bouncy fellas are available in a deep plum purple, and of course their signature rich green! We love styling them in the Mustard Beam pots - available in 3.25", 4.75", and 7".
- Light: bright, indirect light
- Soil: Fox Farm Coco Loco Potting Mix
- Water: water when the first one to two inches are dry to the touch
- Fertilizer: fertilize weekly during periods of active growth
Oxalis contain soluble calcium oxylates, which means that they are not safe for pets.

- Soil: Sol Soils Orchid Chunky Mix
- Water: about once a week with distilled or rainwater - when roots are silver.
