Great Gardens Start with Great Plants

Monrovia is one of the world's largest producers of container grown plants, with more than 2,300 different varieties. Independent garden centers like McDonald Garden Cener are the only place you'll find these Distinctively Better plants.

Below are a few of our favorite Monrovia plants available at McDonald Garden Center right now and sure to provide years of beauty to your landscape.

Sunshine Blue Blueberry
Hot pink flowers fade to white and yield abundant crops of large, tangy fruit. A contained, semi-dwarf shrub it works in containers or in the landscape. This blueberry bush is self pollinating.

Flower Carpet Roses - Amber and Scarlet
This easy to care for groundcover shrub produces masses of brilliant, scarlet red flowers or semi-double peachy amber flowers that bloom from spring through fall. Glossy, dark green foliage is resistant to mildew and black spot. Ideal in borders, containers, hanging baskets and planted in mass.

Sundance Mexican Orange - New for this year!
This evergreen shrub has bright chartreuse to golden-yellow leaves and will provide year-round color and contrast to shrub and perennial borders. Fragrant orange blossom-like blooms are a delightful bonus. (Available at VA Beach Garden Center only.)

Magic Carpet Spirea
A neat, compact mound shrub with vibrant new red leaves. Clusters of small pink flowers contrast with the bright gold mature foliage. This extraordinary combination of colors will brighten and enhance any landscape.

Agapanthus Midknight Blue
An exciting perennial introduction with deep, violet-blue flowers held in tight clusters on tall stalks. Lush strap-like foliage is bright green. Great in borders and containers.

Perennial Little Ones
This smaller quart size is perfect for smaller projects and value conscious shoppers. A variety of perennials are available in this size for just $7.99. We like Bronze Carpet Sedum, Fire Star Dianthus, and Catlins Giant Ajuga.
