Winter Container Conifers, Colors and Companions
A New Category for the IGC… For nearly one third of the year, your customers’ pots sit empty at their entryways and other highly visible areas of their homes. WINTER SIZZLE™ gives you a plant palette that the consumer can easily use to create color and interest for these containers until it’s time to replant with Spring annuals. We have the right mix of products, merchandising and style to give your IGC an opportunity to add sales during slower times.
Assortment…Thrillers The “thriller” plant has to set the groundwork for a gorgeous container. The mix of upright evergreens we have selected are all hardy, colorful and give the area a dramatic focal point. WINTER SIZZLE will make your pots, planters, window boxes and troughs shine for months… the right Thriller is a key ingredient!
