Here's a fun Echter's fact: If it's in a
burgundy pot, we grew it right here!
When we say "locally
grown,"
we really mean it! We craft-grow our
plants in small batches exclusively for
our garden center. You can't buy
Echter's-grown plants anywhere else.
We choose plant varieties for their
superior quality and reliable garden
performance in our distinctive Colorado
climate. We grow many unique varieties,
as well as your trusted favorites. So,
look for the Echter's
Plants for Success
label on the pots!

When is it safe to plant?
It's a popular question in early spring!
Plants that can safely be planted (after
hardening off) include: alyssum, dusty
miller, sweet peas, pansies, and
snapdragons. If you're unsure, check out
our
Frost Hardiness Page
for a more extensive list of annuals,
perennials, & vegetables and when it's
safe to plant them.
How to harden off —
It means to gradually expose a plant to
the elements outdoors. Plants coming
from a greenhouse need to be accustomed
to drier air, brighter sunshine, warmer
temperatures, and wind. If they are set
out suddenly, the change can damage them
permanently. We recommend that you set
them in a protected area for a few days
where they will get some exposure to the
elements. Then, when they have been
toughened somewhat you can plant them
into a fully exposed site.
Keep a frost cover handy
for unexpected unseasonal cold snaps
after your garden is planted. It will
keep the cold air off new seedlings as
they emerge from the soil.
