Primex Picks Staff Selections Mia Mengucci: Viburnum dentatum “Arrowood Viburnum” – zone 3-8 roughly 10’ x 10’. A native plant with lustrous dark green leaves in summer. Fall colors from yellow to glossy red to reddish purple. White flowers from May to early June give way to oval drupe blue/bluish black fruit in late September through October. Great for attracting birds. It transplants well and is adaptable in all soils. Denise Kammer: Ferns I think my favorite non-blooming plant would have to be a fern - all ferns for that matter. You can select from so many different varieties and they are available for both indoors & outdoors. I love the many varied textures they offer, from the delicate, graceful fronds of the maidenhair fern (sold for indoors & a hardy variety for outdoors) to the more exotic looking such as the birdsnest & staghorn ferns. Color ranges vary from lime-green to deep dark green, a few are tinged with pink, blue or gray or white. ere is a fern to fit any home décor, from the Victorian style (an era when ferns were very popular) to the contemporary/modern styles of today. Some can be placed into hanging baskets with long, trailing fronds like the asparagus & boston ferns or you can enjoy the cool looking, hairy, gnarly rhizomes of the rabbit’s foot or kangaroo paw ferns. Outdoors perennial ferns offer a wide variety of uses not often considered in the landscape ie: erosion protection, rock gardens, focal points & architectural interest. e spores on the un- derside are often visible on the taller varieties & offer more interest & texture in the garden. Ferns can be planted or arranged with many other plants & should not be thought of as use- ful only in a woodland setting. Most ferns do prefer moist soil with indirect light but there are many exceptions. Tom Horn: Cold Hardy Camellias For northern gardeners, camellias are no longer a dream, they are a reality. Camellias are extremely versatile and, if chosen correctly, can extend the blooming season from September to April. ere are cold hardy spring blooming va- rieties called the ‘April Series’. Some examples of this series are April Dawn (pink/white), April Kiss (rose-red), April Snow (white), and April Melody (red). e April series starts bloom- ing in mid/late March and continues till late April. ere are also cold hardy fall blooming varieties available that start blooming as early as October and continue till mid/late Decem- ber. Some examples of these varieties are Frost Princess (pink), Winter’s Fire (reddish-pink), and Winter’s Snowman (White). Most camel- lias grow and produce better flowers in partial shade. A soil pH of 6.0 - 6.5 is considered best for camellias. Camellias prefer for the soil to remain moist, but not soggy, all the time. Do not plant where shade trees with shallow root systems will compete with camellias for nutri- ents and water. Early spring is the best time to plant both spring and fall blooming varieties, so don’t wait too long or they will all be gone!

Prune in early spring to remove dead or damaged canes. Make cuts right above and outward-facing bud. Top dress plants with a layer of well composted manure. Mulch around bushes to retain soil moisture and keep weeds down. Start fertilizing monthly when you see new growth as roses are heavy feeders. Provide at least one inch of water per week. Remove spent roses to encourage plant to produce more flowers. Keep an eye out for insect and disease and tackle the problem before it gets out of control.

We all know the benefits of gardening: fresh air, exer-cise, an opportunity to nurture nature and a chance create beauty. Vegetable gardening is even better and more people than ever and beginning or retuning to vegetable gardening.
Growing fresh veggies, herbs and fruit, will provide as sense of accomplishment and satisfaction as you watch your harvest develop and mature. Growing your own can reduce you family food budget and provide a source for hard-to-find fresh food. Studies show that home grown fruits and vegetables are fresher, healthier and taste better than store bought.
Don’t let lack of space stand in your way of this healthy lifestyle change, veggies can be grown in the country, city or suburbs; in the ground or in contain-ers; on a horizontal or vertical plane. Plants may be started from seed, which provides an incredible selec-tion, or from transplants, which are convenient and will save time if getting a late start.
Let Primex help you begin or resume you your love for vegetable gardening. Stop by and let us answer you questions and show you what’s new this spring.
Veggie Gardeningget BaCk into it
Begin turf renovation early this month. Remove debris, dethatch your lawn and aerate compacted areas to improve water penetration. Top-dress with an organic material like mushroom soil to improve microbial activity. Seed or sod new lawns and reseed bare spots in established lawns. Keep the area moist until seedlings appear, then mow when the new grass is 3 inches high. When mowing, remember to set your blade high, the longer grass will shade the soil keeping it cooler and moister and also prevent weed seeds from germinating. A reel mower is a wonderful way to tackle this chore with no negative environmental impact. Keep an eye out for lawn disease like Red Thread, Brown Patch and Dollar Spot this spring and summer. If you are not sure, bring in a sample (one square foot) and we can diagnose what may be happening.
Turf Renovation
IT’S EASY TO DO AND BENEFICIALYou can create “black gold” right in your back yard by recycling your own food and yard wastes. Composting breaks down heavy clay soils and acts as a natural water retainer. There are many nutrients and mycorrhizae that benefit your plant’s life.
Composting is easy with just a few guidelines. Come in and look at our selection of composters and accessories and we can get you started today.
Spring is a great time to start composting to produce rich organic matter for your garden. We offer a wide range of composting products. Indoor and outdoor bins, compost buckets and biodegradable liners, turners, and thermometers are all available to make this task quick and easy.
CompostinGGetting Started For an eco-friendly addition to your gardening
experience, try a rain water barrel. Barrels are a great way to conserve rain water, which is perfect for your garden. Decorative rain chains can replace any downspout, creating an interest-ing water feature as they disperse the water to the surrounding area. Browse our selection of down-spout extensions, rain barrels, pump-kits, gravity recovery systems, and more for a water conserva-tion system that works for you.

Compost Bin vs. Compost Tumbler• Choosing a composter and can’t decide between
a bin or tumbler? Let Primex help!• Appearance: Both bins and tumblers come in a
multitude of styles and aestetics is a matter of personal taste.
• Convenience: Tumbling is easier on the body than turning. Turning burns more calories!
• Critters: Most bins are easily accessable to raccoons, rodents, skunks and other critters. Tumblers are built to keep the compost in and, therefore, pests out.
• Size: There are many sizes of both styles avail-able for just about any location. But, if you are using the Tumbleweed, for example, you will need to make sure that you have enough room spin the drum.
• Time: Tumblers take less time to produce com-post than bins.

Primex PicksStaff Selections
Mia Mengucci: Viburnum dentatum “Arrowood Viburnum” – zone 3-8 roughly 10’ x 10’. A native plant with lustrous dark green leaves in summer. Fall colors from yellow to glossy red to reddish purple. White flowers from May to early June give way to oval drupe blue/bluish black fruit in late September through October. Great for attracting birds. It transplants well and is adaptable in all soils.
Denise Kammer: FernsI think my favorite non-blooming plant would have to be a fern - all ferns for that matter. You can select from so many different varieties and they are available for both indoors & outdoors. I love the many varied textures they offer, from the delicate, graceful fronds of the maidenhair fern (sold for indoors & a hardy variety for outdoors) to the more exotic looking such as the birdsnest & staghorn ferns. Color ranges vary from lime-green to deep dark green, a few are tinged with pink, blue or gray or white.
There is a fern to fit any home décor, from the Victorian style (an era when ferns were very popular) to the contemporary/modern styles of today. Some can be placed into hanging baskets with long, trailing fronds like the asparagus & boston ferns or you can enjoy the cool looking, hairy, gnarly rhizomes of the rabbit’s foot or kangaroo paw ferns. Outdoors perennial ferns offer a wide variety of uses not often considered in the landscape ie: erosion protection, rock gardens, focal points & architectural interest. The spores on the un-derside are often visible on the taller varieties & offer more interest & texture in the garden.
Ferns can be planted or arranged with many other plants & should not be thought of as use-ful only in a woodland setting. Most ferns do prefer moist soil with indirect light butthere are many exceptions.
Tom Horn: Cold Hardy CamelliasFor northern gardeners, camellias are no longer a dream, they are a reality. Camellias are extremely versatile and, if chosen correctly, can extend the blooming season from September to April. There are cold hardy spring blooming va-rieties called the ‘April Series’. Some examples of this series are April Dawn (pink/white), April Kiss (rose-red), April Snow (white), and April Melody (red). The April series starts bloom-ing in mid/late March and continues till late April. There are also cold hardy fall blooming varieties available that start blooming as early as October and continue till mid/late Decem-ber. Some examples of these varieties are Frost Princess (pink), Winter’s Fire (reddish-pink), and Winter’s Snowman (White). Most camel-lias grow and produce better flowers in partial shade. A soil pH of 6.0 - 6.5 is considered best for camellias. Camellias prefer for the soil to remain moist, but not soggy, all the time. Do not plant where shade trees with shallow root systems will compete with camellias for nutri-ents and water. Early spring is the best time to plant both spring and fall blooming varieties, so don’t wait too long or they will all be gone!
Bill Craig: ServiceberryServiceberry, Amelanchier, is a native under-story tree that produces an abundance of white flowers in early April. The flowers are followed by oval shaped leaves that will later turn Or-ange/Red in the fall. Between spring and fall, Serviceberry produces edible berries that serve as food for birds. This tree is also a host for the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. Serviceberry is a great small tree (15-20’ H X 8-10’ W) for any land-scape, because it can grow in sun or part shade, tolerate wet or dry soils, and provide year-round interest. With attributes like that, why wouldn’t you plant a serviceberry tree!

Prune in early spring to remove dead or damaged canes. Make cuts right above and outward-facing bud. Top dress plants with a layer of well composted manure. Mulch around bushes to retain soil moisture and keep weeds down. Start fertilizing monthly when you see new growth as roses are heavy feeders. Provide at least one inch of water per week. Remove spent roses to encourage plant to produce more flowers. Keep an eye out for insect and disease and tackle the problem before it gets out of control.

Mia Mengucci: Viburnum dentatum “Arrowood Viburnum” – zone 3-8 roughly 10’ x 10’. A native plant with lustrous dark green leaves in summer. Fall colors from yellow to glossy red to reddish purple. White flowers from May to early June give way to oval drupe blue/bluish black fruit in late September through October. Great for attracting birds. It transplants well and is adaptable in all soils.
Denise Kammer: FernsI think my favorite non-blooming plant would have to be a fern - all ferns for that matter. You can select from so many different varieties and they are available for both indoors & outdoors. I love the many varied textures they offer, from the delicate, graceful fronds of the maidenhair fern (sold for indoors & a hardy variety for outdoors) to the more exotic looking such as the birdsnest & staghorn ferns. Color ranges vary from lime-green to deep dark green, a few are tinged with pink, blue or gray or white.
There is a fern to fit any home décor, from the Victorian style (an era when ferns were very popular) to the contemporary/modern styles of today. Some can be placed into hanging baskets with long, trailing fronds like the asparagus & boston ferns or you can enjoy the cool looking, hairy, gnarly rhizomes of the rabbit’s foot or kangaroo paw ferns. Outdoors perennial ferns offer a wide variety of uses not often considered in the landscape ie: erosion protection, rock gardens, focal points & architectural interest. The spores on the un-derside are often visible on the taller varieties & offer more interest & texture in the garden.
Ferns can be planted or arranged with many other plants & should not be thought of as use-ful only in a woodland setting. Most ferns do prefer moist soil with indirect light butthere are many exceptions.
Tom Horn: Cold Hardy CamelliasFor northern gardeners, camellias are no longer a dream, they are a reality. Camellias are extremely versatile and, if chosen correctly, can extend the blooming season from September to April. There are cold hardy spring blooming va-rieties called the ‘April Series’. Some examples of this series are April Dawn (pink/white), April Kiss (rose-red), April Snow (white), and April Melody (red). The April series starts bloom-ing in mid/late March and continues till late April. There are also cold hardy fall blooming varieties available that start blooming as early as October and continue till mid/late Decem-ber. Some examples of these varieties are Frost Princess (pink), Winter’s Fire (reddish-pink), and Winter’s Snowman (White). Most camel-lias grow and produce better flowers in partial shade. A soil pH of 6.0 - 6.5 is considered best for camellias. Camellias prefer for the soil to remain moist, but not soggy, all the time. Do not plant where shade trees with shallow root systems will compete with camellias for nutri-ents and water. Early spring is the best time to plant both spring and fall blooming varieties, so don’t wait too long or they will all be gone!
Bill Craig: ServiceberryServiceberry, Amelanchier, is a native under-story tree that produces an abundance of white flowers in early April. The flowers are followed by oval shaped leaves that will later turn Or-ange/Red in the fall. Between spring and fall, Serviceberry produces edible berries that serve as food for birds. This tree is also a host for the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail. Serviceberry is a great small tree (15-20’ H X 8-10’ W) for any land-scape, because it can grow in sun or part shade, tolerate wet or dry soils, and provide year-round interest. With attributes like that, why wouldn’t you plant a serviceberry tree!
