Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for morning-light foundation beds, not exposed hot corners. Give it mulch, steady water during dry weather, and light pruning so you do not remove next season's early buds.

Customers Usually Ask
Will the flowers be blue or pink?
Soil pH drives the color; acidic soil leans blue, while less acidic soil leans pink.
Do I cut it back hard?
No; prune lightly and remove dead wood, since it flowers on both old and new wood.
Can it handle a dry spot?
Not well; choose another shrub for dry, exposed areas.
CLEARANCE
Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
The two gentlemen that did the arborvitae installation were absolutely excellent. They listened to exactly what we wanted, mapped out the spots, and worked quickly and thoroughly to get it done. Outstanding work!
Top notch service and product quality. I didn’t know what to expect seeing the ads on Facebook, so I went to the greenhouse. They had a wonderful variety of products and a very helpful staff. The delivery and installers were fast, neat and friendly. Pro Growers will be me go to for now on!
It helps us recommend plants that are best for your local climate, based on your growing zone. Also, because we ship plants based on when they are best for your local climate, it allows us to give you a more accurate estimate of when your order will ship.
