About Our Front Cover<br />

Featured on our front cover this year are a few of our most highly recommended new<br />

introductions, all of which are from the <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>, Inc. hybridizing program.<br />

Pictured from top left:<br />

• Hibiscus SUMMERIFIC® ‘Holy Grail’ PPAF (p. 116) – Deep red flowers open flat on near-black<br />

foliage. The enormous 8-9” blooms will cover the plant from top to bottom in late summer.<br />

• Heuchera PRIMO® ‘Peachberry Ice’ PPAF (p. 110) – Apricot-orange leaves have a light silver<br />

overlay. The bright color mellows through the summer with the foliage staying nice through fall.<br />

• Achillea ‘Sassy Summer Lemon’ PPAF (p. 28) – Very upright, tall stems hold first lemon-yellow<br />

flowers and then their showy seedheads through the end of summer.<br />

• Heuchera ‘Lemon Love’ PPAF (p. 111) – Ruffled chartreuse yellow foliage resists burning. If given<br />

the space, this selection will grow up to 3’ wide.<br />

• Kniphofia PYROMANIA ‘Rocket’s Red Glare’ PPAF (p. 145) – An exciting new genus is firing up the<br />

Proven Winners® Program this year. ‘Rocket’s Red Glare’ lights up the landscape with warm red flower<br />

buds that open creamy-peach. This series is perfect for adding height to the middle of the border.<br />

About <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>, Inc.<br />

Established <strong>19</strong>46<br />

We have over 70 years of experience growing perennials, but it all started<br />

with the small flower business founded by Dena and John Knoll. Dennis<br />

<strong>Walters</strong> helped set the foundation for our company when he married their<br />

daughter, Harriet Knoll, and eventually took over the business in <strong>19</strong>46.<br />

The original farm was 5 acres; everything was grown from seed, bare root,<br />

and hand dug.<br />

Greenhouse Plug Production<br />

For us, it’s not just about offering the best plants on the<br />

market, but offering the best value as well. That vision starts<br />

with dedicated employees, the best growers in the business,<br />

and a diligent plant health staff.<br />

Our reputation is only as good as our product. You can be<br />

confident in our product because our goal is to provide you<br />

with nothing but the best of everything you order.<br />

Bare Root Field Operations<br />

Through the years it is our Bare Root Production which has<br />

kept us unique in the industry. Thanks to our location along<br />

Lake Michigan, we enjoy sandy, well-drained soil that helps<br />

our roots grow bigger faster. We’ve been aiming for high<br />

quality bare root product from the very beginning and that<br />

still rings true today.<br />

Today, 20<strong>18</strong><br />

That 5-acre farm has grown to 1,500 acres and with over 500,000 square feet<br />

of greenhouses. <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> is still family owned and run. We haven’t lost<br />

sight of our (bare) roots or the values that made this company what it is.<br />

Our commitments to high quality plants and genetics have led to an expansive<br />

collection of <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> introduced varieties and a close relationship with<br />

the Proven Winners® brand.<br />

All our success can be attributed to the employees who have spent countless<br />

years working for and contributing to <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>.<br />

Hans Hansen<br />

Meet Hans, head of the <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> hybridizing<br />

department. Hans is our go-to guy when it comes to<br />

knowing anything and everything about perennials. He’s<br />

been living and breathing plants from a very young age,<br />

beginning his breeding work when he was just a teenager.<br />

Hans enjoys working with a wide variety of plants<br />

including Hostas, Baptisia, Peonies, and Mangaves. You’ll<br />

find the results of his hard work throughout this catalog.<br />

Crossing Hellebores in the Pollination Station<br />

Our customers look to us for our exceptional genetics which have proven<br />

themselves over the years, from our distinctive hostas to our fabulous hardy<br />

Hibiscus and many others. The top exclusive genetics from our own hybridizing<br />

program and other hybridizers worldwide are trialed and selected for the<br />

Proven Winners® line.<br />

Hybridizing goals are set for each genera with a focus on perennials that<br />

our growers, retailers, and home gardeners will be successful with. If you or<br />

someone you know is interested in having <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>, Inc. trial your new<br />

Our Commitment to Plant Health<br />

<strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>, Inc. has made a strong commitment<br />

to provide only the most healthy, vigorous product<br />

to our customers. All of our crops are tested regularly<br />

for the most common viruses as well as additional<br />

genus-specific viruses where needed. Our fields and<br />

greenhouses are also regularly scouted for signs<br />

of pests or diseases. In addition to the dedicated<br />

efforts of our Growers and Plant Health Team, we<br />

make an effort company-wide to maintain clean<br />

and preventative practices to limit the spread and<br />

introduction of pests, diseases, and viruses.<br />

WGI Plant Health Team<br />

General Perennials<br />

• Alfalfa Mosaic Virus (AMV)<br />

• Alternanthera/Papaya Mosaic Virus<br />

(AltMV/PapMV)<br />

Virus Prevention and Indexing<br />

We take great pride in the attentiveness of our Plant Health and Greenhouse staff when it comes to identifying and preventing viruses in our plants.<br />

All of our plants are tested on a regular basis regardless of appearance or history. Because there is always risk of a crop being exposed to a virus, and<br />

more so in a field environment, we will not give VIP status to a variety if we feel there is too much risk of infection between testing and shipping. If a<br />

variety is prone to viral infection, extra steps are taken to ensure that our stock and production lines always start with clean material.<br />

Plants are tested here at <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>, Inc. for the viruses listed below and are designated with a bow tie symbol.<br />

• Carnation Etched Ring Virus (CERV)<br />

• Tobacco Streak Virus (TSV)<br />

• Tomato Ringspot Virus (ToRSV)<br />

• Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV)<br />

How to Identify Virus-Indexed Plants (VIP)<br />

A virus-indexed variety is one that has been tested and deemed free of the<br />

viruses it was tested for up to the point of testing. A bow tie symbol is located<br />

in the key code of each variety that has been virus-indexed.<br />

Sustainable Production Practice and Integrated Pest Management<br />

In the Fields<br />

Understanding the vital importance<br />

of plant health, we remain vigilant<br />

in preventing problems in our fields.<br />

Before a crop is planted in the field, we<br />

make sure our planting stock is clean<br />

and disease-free. We then diversify<br />

our plantings so that disease prone<br />

items are never planted in the same place twice. All of the equipment<br />

used to plant and harvest our hosta stock blocks is sanitized between<br />

cultivars. We also scout weekly for weeds, insect damage, unusual<br />

variations in growth, trueness to type, and overall plant health.<br />

In the Greenhouse<br />

Prevention is key when it comes to<br />

pest and disease management in our<br />

greenhouses. We do weekly scouting<br />

for any pest, disease, or nutritional<br />

issues and do preventative spraying in<br />

regular intervals to prevent the onset of<br />

disease. Our goal is to catch problems<br />

at the earliest stage possible and to target the treatment to the specific<br />

crop before it spreads to other plants. When treatment is needed, we<br />

use beneficial insects or reduced-risk pesticides which target specific<br />

pests rather than using broad spectrum chemicals. We have not used<br />

neonicotinoid containing products on our production crops since 2014.<br />

Plug Products<br />

Many of the products offered in this catalog are grown in plug form.<br />

Several sizes are available including 20, 30, 72, and 128 count. The<br />

majority of our plugs are easy to transplant Elle Plugs, while others<br />

are traditional loose fill plugs. The type of plug used is based upon<br />

the specific needs of the plant.<br />

Larger 20 and 30ct plugs are best suited to customers looking for<br />

faster turnaround times and sales the same season. Smaller 72<br />

and 128ct plugs are better suited for growers looking to produce<br />

larger quantities at a lower input cost. They are typically planted in<br />

summer for sales the following spring.<br />

30ct Deep Cell Plugs<br />

In 2017, we converted our large grass plugs to a new 30ct, loose fill tray. The deeper cell has been beneficial to our ornamental grasses,<br />

helping them finish out a container faster. We have since begun trialing the 30ct deep cell tray with other genera and are converting our<br />

Lagerstroemia plugs to this tray size, as well as using it as a part of our Echinacea program (see page 70 for more details).<br />

Proven Winners® Perennials<br />

The Power<br />

Behind the<br />

Brand<br />

We’re Working for You<br />

The partnership between <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>, Inc. and Proven Winners®<br />

has created the top destination for growers and retailers looking for<br />

outstanding genetics in top performing perennials. By selecting new<br />

varieties for both garden performance and production success, gardeners<br />

and growers alike are successful with our perennials. And that keeps them<br />

coming back for more!<br />

Some of the best minds in the business are part of the Proven<br />

Winners organization. From those who seek out new plants<br />

from across the globe for future introduction, to the people<br />

who trial and grow them, those who utilize every marketing<br />

dollar collected to further promote the brand, and everyone in<br />

between, we are all working to build the Proven Winners brand.<br />

It Starts with Great Plants<br />

A better garden starts with a better plant®. To ensure only the top performing perennials are put into the Proven Winners brand,<br />

they are first trialed extensively. Trialing begins here at <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>, Inc., where new perennials are observed growing in the ground<br />

and in containers. From there, the select few we feel are worthy of being considered for the Proven Winners brand are passed along to the<br />

Proven Winners members in the varying climates of Carleton, MI and Loudon, NH for additional trialing. After trialing is complete, plants are<br />

reviewed and either accepted or rejected for the brand. Upon introduction, new Proven Winners<br />

perennials are sent to numerous other trialing sites around the country for<br />

additional data collection.<br />

The Proven Package<br />

Building Sales on Brand Awareness<br />

Our partnership with Proven Winners® is now entering its eighth growing season, and we’ve seen<br />

the benefits of working with a consumer brand. We believe in the power of the Proven Package and<br />

all of the research that stands behind it. We know that perennials sold in branded containers will<br />

sell more plants as brand awareness and consumer success builds.<br />

Our customers are showing us every year with their repeat orders and order increases that Proven<br />

Winners Perennials are some of their top sellers. Sales are building annually as we watch our<br />

customers’ businesses grow.<br />

The Proven Package is essential for brand awareness—consumers know to look for the white<br />

Proven Winners branded container when they shop. That is why the white Proven Winners branded<br />

container and label are required for all Proven Winners Perennials. Benchcards are optional, but<br />

highly recommended, for retailers.<br />

Proven Winners ® Stake Labels<br />

All of the Proven Winners Perennials we offer are sold with the Proven Winners stake<br />

label shown here. They feature attractive photos, easy to read information, and a QR<br />

code which provides additional images, growing tips, features and awards. The cost of<br />

this label is included in the Variety License Fee amount for each plant. See p. 210 for<br />

more information.<br />

Proven Winners ® Benchcards<br />

Professionally designed and printed benchcards are available for all Proven Winners<br />

Perennials and may be ordered through their online store at<br />

www.ProvenWinners.com. Do you prefer to download and print benchcards<br />

yourself? That option is also available at<br />

www.provenwinners.com/catalog/point-purchase/benchcards-perennials.<br />

If you prefer the benchcards for your Proven Winners perennials to match the<br />

non-branded benchcards that you’ve ordered from <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>, Inc., these are<br />

available. Go to www.<strong>Walters</strong><strong>Gardens</strong>.com to download and print yourself, or<br />

Baptisia ‘Indigo Spires’ PP26750<br />

Correctly Potting Bare Root Baptisia<br />

Potting is the most important step in order to properly grow out Baptisia. Premium<br />

2-gallon pots are a good size, especially if you are planting in early spring.<br />

Plant one plant per pot, sifting soil to fill in all gaps below the root structure. If air pockets<br />

remain, too much of the root will be exposed when the soil settles. If the roots do not fit<br />

neatly in the container, you can trim them again right before potting. Avoid leaving any<br />

root exposed as this increases the risk of the roots drying out.<br />

Notice how the pot on the left has the eyes barely visible while in the pot on the right<br />

they are completely exposed. The difference is seemingly slight but very crucial for the<br />

successful growing of baptisia from bare root.<br />

Baptisia ‘Lavender Stardust’ PPAF<br />

Ornamental<br />

Grasses & Sedges<br />

Warm Season Grasses<br />

Warm season grasses grow most actively<br />

during the warmer months, then flower<br />

in late summer or fall. Most go completely<br />

dormant in winter. Warm season grasses<br />

are not recommended for fall planting. It is<br />

best to receive them from early spring<br />

through late summer and pot them<br />

up immediately. If necessary, provide<br />

supplemental heat to keep the plants at 60°F or<br />

higher to stimulate top growth. Warm season<br />

grasses include: Andropogon, Bouteloua,<br />

Calamagrostis brachytricha, Hakonechloa,<br />

Miscanthus, Panicum, Pennisetum,<br />

Schizachyrium, and Sporobolus.<br />

Cool Season Grasses<br />

Cool season grasses are at their prime during<br />

the cooler months of fall, winter, and spring,<br />

and usually bloom before the warmer summer<br />

weather arrives. Many are evergreen. Cool<br />

season grasses should be received in fall or<br />

early spring and be potted up immediately.<br />

They will put on the most growth during these<br />

cooler months. Though they should be kept from<br />

freezing over the winter, they do not require<br />

much, if any, supplemental heat. Cool season<br />

grasses include: Calamagrostis acutiflora,<br />

Deschampsia, Festuca, Helictotrichon, and<br />

Sesleria.<br />

Sedges<br />

Sedges, or Carex, are not true grasses at all,<br />

though they certainly look similar. They are<br />

actually members of the Cyperaceae family,<br />

which includes about 4,000 species worldwide.<br />

We offer several varieties of Carex, including<br />

variegated and yellow varieties, ground cover<br />

and clumping types. Sedges tend to grow more<br />

like warm season grasses, so we recommend<br />

receiving them from early spring through<br />

late summer rather than in the fall.<br />

30ct Deep Cell Grass Plugs<br />

In 2017, we converted our large grass plugs to a new 30ct tray. The new<br />

tray features a significantly deeper, more cost-effective plug size. Our<br />

trials indicate the deeper plug will give you improved quality and similar<br />

performance to our 20ct, all at a lower price point.<br />

Approximate Plug Measurements: 4¼in deep x 2in wide<br />

Minimum order: 1 tray of 30<br />

Your Trusted Daylily Source<br />

<strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong> is committed to providing our<br />

customers with true to name plants. We are concerned<br />

about variability in daylilies from tissue culture, both<br />

in flowering performance and in overall characteristics.<br />

For this reason, all of the daylilies we offer are grown<br />

from field divisions. You can be confident that our true<br />

vegetative stock will deliver a consistent, uniform<br />

performance. All of our daylilies are pest resistant and<br />

free of daylily rust.<br />

Trimmed Roots<br />

We trim the roots of all daylilies<br />

before they are shipped. In our trials,<br />

trimming the roots did not set the<br />

plants back at all and in some cases,<br />

trimming actually resulted in increased<br />

rooting. Trimmed roots are also faster<br />

for our customers to pot up, weigh less<br />

in shipping, and result in less waste.<br />

Premium Daylilies<br />

For customers looking for some<br />

guidance selecting the top<br />

daylilies of each color class, look<br />

no further than our premium<br />

varieties. Each of our premium daylilies is<br />

trialed, studied, and observed for an average<br />

of 6-10 years before introduction by our<br />

experienced Daylily Growers. These are the<br />

very best daylilies we offer.<br />

BREEDER PROFILE<br />

Darrel Apps<br />

Darrel Apps first developed his<br />

passion for breeding daylilies<br />

when he worked for the University<br />

of Kentucky and saw how<br />

well the plants performed in the<br />

hot summers there. He made his<br />

first cross in <strong>19</strong>69 and continued<br />

for several decades. Much of Dr.<br />

Apps’ work has been focused on<br />

developing varieties which thrive<br />

in northern climates.<br />

Through Centerton Nursery, Dr. Apps and Denny Blew developed<br />

the Happy Ever Appster® and Jersey Earlybird Daylilies. All are<br />

very long blooming cultivars, some are early blooming. Look for<br />

(Apps) in our daylily descriptions to identify cultivars developed<br />

by this talented hybridizer.<br />

Growing Bare Root Hibiscus<br />

Growers looking for a high margin, quick turn perennial with outstanding impulse appeal should consider bare root hardy Hibiscus. Hibiscus<br />

are in their prime at the height of summer, filling the gap between early and late flowering perennials. Their dinner plate sized flowers have<br />

awesome impulse appeal and are popular with all kinds of gardeners. Hibiscus are very easy to grow if you follow these guidelines:<br />

Potting and Timing<br />

• Pot up bare root Hibiscus into 3-Gal containers in mid through late spring. Plant immediately upon arrival of your shipment. Pot up 72ct<br />

plugs into 2-Gal containers in early to mid summer.<br />

• Use a peat/bark soil mix with a pH of 6.0-6.5.<br />

• Place the potted plants directly outside, under full sun, after the last frost date and hook them up to drip irrigation. Space plants a minimum<br />

of <strong>18</strong>in apart to have well-rounded finished plants.<br />

Growing and Finishing<br />

• When the bare root plants start to grow, pinch the top growth back once to 3-5 nodes. Then drench the entire plant with 1ppm<br />

uniconazole (Sumagic®) one week after pinching.<br />

• Keep plants moist at all times to prevent leaf drop and the flower buds from aborting.<br />

• Hibiscus grows very quickly and requires ample amounts of fertilizer. Feed with 150-200ppm N constant liquid feed at every watering.<br />

Recommended EC is 2.5-3.5 using the pour through method.<br />

• An advantage to growing Hibiscus outdoors is that the more natural growing cycle allows intermediate blooming varieties the time to set<br />

buds up the stems, a key selling point. Plants grown indoors tend to stretch and not set buds up the stems.<br />

• Scout regularly for Japanese beetles, sawfly larvae, spider mites, and whiteflies, treating as needed.<br />

• Both bare root and plugs will finish in 12-14 weeks in their respective recommended containers. Allow 6 weeks from the time of pinching<br />

to flower.<br />

• Finished plants will be very large and full with a minimum of 3-4 sturdy, flowering stems. They have a very high value at retail.<br />

Hosta<br />

H<br />

Zones 3-9<br />

Hostas are one of the most well-known of all perennials and they are indispensable for shade. They offer an amazing palette of colors, sizes,<br />

textures, and flowers that naturally complement other shade perennials such as ferns, bleeding hearts, and sedges. Miniature hostas are<br />

perfectly suited to troughs while giant hostas make outstanding landscape specimens.<br />

Trimmed Roots<br />

We trim the roots of all bare root hostas we<br />

offer before they are shipped. In our trials,<br />

trimming the roots did not set the plants back<br />

at all and in some cases, trimming actually<br />

resulted in increased rooting. Trimmed roots<br />

are also faster for our customers to pot up,<br />

weigh less in shipping, and result in less waste.<br />

Premium Hosta<br />

For customers looking for some guidance<br />

in selecting the top hostas in each color<br />

class, our hosta experts have developed<br />

a list of premium varieties. Based on our<br />

observations and experience growing these plants long before<br />

they are introduced and our continued experience over the<br />

years, these are the very best hostas we offer.<br />

72ct Hostas will be available for shipping the week of 3/11/<strong>19</strong> (week 11) - 2 weeks earlier than previous seasons.<br />

What Sets Our Bare Root Lavender Apart<br />

Here in West Michigan, we are blessed with sandy<br />

loam soils, reliable snow cover, and moderate<br />

temperatures. Lavender naturally thrives under<br />

these conditions. We carefully manage the growth,<br />

shaping, and digging of our bare root lavenders to<br />

ensure our customers receive the highest quality,<br />

generously sized #1 Grade material.<br />

Our bare root lavenders easily fill out premium<br />

1-gallon containers and have a short finish time.<br />

Since the foliage has already been shaped for you,<br />

there is less labor required for you to grow attractive<br />

finished plants. For a relatively small input cost, you<br />

can have high margin plants finished in just 6-8<br />

weeks in spring.<br />

Peonies<br />

When to Plant<br />

Intersectional Peonies<br />

Plant in EFa-MFa<br />

Garden Peonies<br />

Plant in EFa (best) or ESp<br />

Top 10 Reasons Why Peonies don’t Flower<br />

1. It is planted too shallow or too deep.<br />

2. It is getting too much Nitrogen fertilizer.<br />

3. It is over or undernourished. Peonies thrive with little care and limited<br />

amounts of fertilizer.<br />

4. The flower buds were killed by a late frost, disease, or excessive heat.<br />

5. There was not enough sunlight to produce flowers.<br />

6. The plant is too young or immature.<br />

7. The clump is too large or overcrowded.<br />

8. It has been moved or divided too often.<br />

9. The plant was cut back before the foliage turned brown in the fall.<br />

10. The soil is too wet or too dry.<br />

Intersectional Peonies<br />

Intersectional peonies are created by crossing herbaceous and woody tree peonies.<br />

They offer the best qualities of both including: large flowers in unique colors, robust<br />

herbaceous foliage, strong weather resistant stems, longer bloom time, extreme winter<br />

hardiness, and increased vigor. Bare root is best planted in Fall.<br />

Due to supplier stock issues, availability of<br />

intersectional peonies is very limited. We strongly<br />

encourage you to order early for best availability.<br />

Growers looking for a quick turnaround time in creeping phlox are advised to start with our heavily graded bare root material. One large bare<br />

root easily fills an 8 inch mum pan and finishes quickly for spring sales. Be sure to pot these evergreen perennials up immediately upon receipt,<br />

taking care to make very good root to soil contact when planting. If you prefer to start with 72ct plugs, pot them up in late summer for the<br />

following spring’s sales.<br />

Temperennials<br />

By our own definition, temperennials are plants that are hardy in warmer parts of the country, but are generally not hardy in the north. Northern<br />

gardeners may grow them as annuals or houseplants, while southerners may be able to overwinter them successfully outdoors. See individual<br />

plant listings for specific hardiness information.<br />

recommend that size for most growers<br />

due to their large, bulky crown. Finishing<br />

in a 1-Gal container is only recommended<br />

if you plan on a quick turn for a big spring<br />

In frost-free climates, DIGIPLEXIS® can<br />

be grown outdoors in early spring at<br />

45-60°F. If growing indoors, greenhouse<br />

temperatures should be maintained at<br />

Colocasia ‘Distant Memory’ PPAF<br />

Our Commitment to Supporting Alzheimer’s Research<br />

For many of the early years of <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>, Harriet <strong>Walters</strong><br />

was the lifeblood of the family business. She’s remembered fondly<br />

for her incredible cheerfulness, kindness, and optimism, but especially<br />

for her infectious laugh and sense of humor. Even through<br />

all her years after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Harriet still<br />

maintained her sunny personality and silliness, as well as a deep<br />

sense of care and concern for each member of her family, even<br />

as she lost her mental function and memories. Harriet passed<br />

away in 2008, and it is in her honor that we will donate $0.25 per<br />

plant sold to Alzheimer’s research. The Elephant is a symbol for<br />

Alzheimer’s Disease (“an elephant never forgets”), which is why<br />

we selected an Elephant Ear to be our cause plant.<br />

Four Reasons to Grow Mangave<br />

Fast Growers. Thanks to their Manfreda genes, Mangave are much more water tolerant with most varieties finishing more<br />

than twice as fast as an Agave. Our growers have likened the growth rate of a Mangave to a Hosta<br />

rather than it’s Agave parentage.<br />

Perfect Focal Plant. The easiest way to get size out of a succulent, Mangave will wow with less time and effort.<br />

Softer, Less Lethal Spines. The majority of varieties follow their Manfreda parentage with<br />

softer spines, making Mangave more user friendly for growers and gardeners alike!<br />

More Interesting Colors and Shapes. As is often the case with intergeneric hybrids, the cross has<br />

yielded a number of new traits uncommon to the parentage. From Agave comes<br />

a wide variety of forms and colors, with Manfreda lending their distinctive leaf<br />

spotting and wavy margins.<br />

New for 20<strong>19</strong> we are introducing a required, special tag for all MAD ABOUT<br />

MANGAVE® varieties. We value our MAD ABOUT MANGAVE® line as a high<br />

value item at retail and believe it needs a tag to match that quality.<br />

The MAD ABOUT MANGAVE® tag is 3½” in diameter and comes<br />

with an accompanying 10” riser. The tag is held above the<br />

foliage where it is easy to read and avoids being hidden<br />

beneath the heavy leaves.<br />

Pricing information can be found on page 210 of this catalog.<br />

Summer Orders<br />

Early Summer Stock Up Event<br />

• Product sold during this timeframe is generally<br />

intended to be grown through the<br />

season, vernalized, and sold the following<br />

spring. Some items may be used for quick<br />

turns the same season.<br />

Summer Selections Program<br />

• Product sold during this timeframe is generally<br />

intended to be grown through the fall,<br />

vernalized, and sold the following season.<br />

Fall Orders<br />

• Many of the items offered in this catalog are<br />

available for fall shipping. See price list for<br />

availability dates.<br />

• Bare root plants are fresh dug for fall orders.<br />

Little is dug on speculation. If you need a<br />

large number of a bare root items shipped<br />

to you during the winter months when our<br />

fields are frozen, we recommend that you<br />

book that order by early fall to allow time for<br />

harvesting before winter.<br />

• Watch for additional new items to be introduced<br />

in fall. These are items that become<br />

available after the catalog is published but<br />

are available for the current shipping season.<br />

Winter/Spring Orders<br />

• Most items shipped during the winter and<br />

early spring months are shipped dormant.<br />

Bare root items are typically stored frozen<br />

until shipping this time of year.<br />

• Items that are sold for their foliage rather<br />

than their flowers, as well as a few other<br />

minor exceptions, may not be vernalized<br />

before shipping.<br />

• We do our best to ship your order as complete<br />

and fresh as possible on your requested<br />

ship date. However, during weeks of extreme<br />

cold, your shipment may be held back so<br />

that it will make it to you in good condition.<br />

Patented Plants<br />

What Does PPAF mean?<br />

This stands for US Plant Patent Applied<br />

For. Once the patent has been granted, it<br />

is assigned a PP#. Propagation without a<br />

license and export outside of North America<br />

is prohibited for all US patent-pending and<br />

patented plants.<br />

What does CPBRAF mean?<br />

This stands for Canadian Plant Breeders’ Rights<br />

Applied For. It is similar to US PPAF. Plants<br />

protected by Breeders’ Rights (CPBR#) or with<br />

Breeders’ Rights pending (CPBRAF) may not be<br />

propagated or hybridized in Canada without a<br />

license.<br />

What does COPF mean?<br />

COPF stands for Canadian Ornamental<br />

Plant Foundation. It is a non-governmental<br />

organization that charges voluntary royalties<br />

and passes a portion back to the hybridizer or<br />

originator. Propagation without a license is<br />

prohibited for these plants in Canada.<br />

All advertisements (including electronic) for<br />

patent pending and patented plants must<br />

list the US and Canadian patent information.<br />

In addition to listing the patent information,<br />

labels for patent pending and patented plants<br />

must also state that propagation is prohibited.<br />

Cultural Information<br />

Simple, Sensible, Solutions®<br />

A Grower’s Guide to Finishing Perennials<br />

To help our customers be more successful in<br />

finishing our plug and bare root liners, we offer<br />

our Simple, Sensible, Solutions® guide to growing<br />

and finishing perennials. This FREE guide is<br />

available upon request and can also be viewed or<br />

downloaded from www.<strong>Walters</strong><strong>Gardens</strong>.com.<br />

Included in the guide are:<br />

• Timing chart for finishing<br />

perennials<br />

• Growing tips for<br />

plugs and bare root<br />

liners<br />

• Cultural recommendations<br />

for specialized<br />

plants<br />

• Handy cultural reference chart<br />

• Plant health information<br />

• Overwintering tips<br />

• Additional recommended resources<br />

Grower Cultural Sheets<br />

Cultural sheets for most of the perennials we offer<br />

can be found on www.<strong>Walters</strong><strong>Gardens</strong>.com.<br />

They contain detailed information such as growing<br />

temperatures, soil pH, planting level, weeks<br />

to finish, watering, fertilizing, and pest and disease<br />

management recommendations.<br />

Bare Root Plants<br />

• When your shipment arrives, open all boxes<br />

and inspect the condition of the roots. They<br />

should be firm, relatively dry, and are typically<br />

light brown in color.<br />

• If any roots are still frozen, allow them to<br />

thaw slowly in a cool (40-50ºF) room before<br />

handling. Do not put them immediately into<br />

a warm greenhouse.<br />

• If any roots are dry, soak them in a tub of<br />

water containing a small amount of soluble<br />

fertilizer for one hour before potting. This<br />

will help plants get established more quickly.<br />

• Transplant all bare root plants as soon as<br />

possible. If you are not able to transplant<br />

the roots immediately, store them in a cool<br />

(35-45ºF) area for a limited time. Be sure to<br />

have all plant labels on hand when potting<br />

to ensure correct identification.<br />

• Water all plants thoroughly after transplanting.<br />

• The highest priority for transplanting<br />

should be bare root plants, beginning<br />

with all evergreen types such as Iberis,<br />

Lavandula, and Phlox subulata.<br />

Plug Products<br />

• When your shipment arrives, open all boxes<br />

and inspect the condition of the plugs.<br />

Depending on the time of year and the variety,<br />

the plants will either be dormant or leafed out.<br />

• If any plugs are frozen, allow them to thaw<br />

slowly in a cool (40-50ºF) room before handling.<br />

Do not put them immediately into a<br />

warm greenhouse.<br />

• If any plugs are dry when they arrive, water<br />

them immediately. Keep them sufficiently<br />

moist and then water the plugs again just<br />

before transplanting. Watering plugs just<br />

before transplanting is a critical step<br />

not to be missed!<br />

Phone: 888-925-8377 • Fax: 800-752-<strong>18</strong>79 • E-mail: sales@waltersgardens.com • Website: www.<strong>Walters</strong><strong>Gardens</strong>.com


• After your bare root plants have been potted<br />

up, the next order of priority should be potting<br />

up your plugs starting with the smallest size.<br />

• Elle Plugs should be potted up at the same<br />

level as you would pot up a traditional potted<br />

or plug item.<br />

• You do not need to remove the paper sleeve<br />

of the Elle Plug. It will naturally disintegrate<br />

over time.<br />

• Water all plugs thoroughly after transplanting.<br />

Growing On<br />

• We suggest potting up your new perennial<br />

liners in a well-drained potting mix for optimum<br />

growth. A number of excellent bark or<br />

peat-based, soilless commercial mixes are<br />

available.<br />

• Most perennials grow best when potted with<br />

their crown at the soil surface. If the roots<br />

are too long to fit in the pot, they generally<br />

can be trimmed a bit to fit.<br />

• For optimum rooting, most perennials<br />

should be grown in full sun. For shade loving<br />

plants such as ferns, hostas, Astilbe, and<br />

Dicentra, 50-70% shade is recommended.<br />

• All recently transplanted perennials must be<br />

kept from freezing. If the roots are subjected<br />

to cold, wet conditions for an extended period<br />

of time, they may decline or rot. Do not<br />

put plants directly outside until all danger<br />

of frost is past. Losses due to frost, excessive<br />

rainfall, or overwatering are the customer’s<br />

responsibility.<br />

• Most perennials prefer to be grown at<br />

48-55°F for 10-14 days after potting to<br />

promote root growth, and then grown<br />

at 55-60°F until they are finished. Lower<br />

temperatures may be used to delay or suspend<br />

growth, while warmer temperatures<br />

generally help to accelerate growth. For your<br />

convenience, a timing chart for finishing<br />

our product can be found on p. 11 of this<br />

catalog.<br />

Fall Planting and Overwintering<br />

• Many factors such as soil moisture, temperature<br />

fluctuations, and root development in<br />

the container can affect plant survival. Since<br />

there are so many variables beyond our control,<br />

we do not guarantee survival of plants<br />

overwintered in containers or in the ground.<br />

• Overwintering success depends on having<br />

well-rooted, established plants by the end<br />

of the growing season. Poorly rooted plants<br />

tend to overwinter poorly. Time the delivery<br />

of your bare root and plug perennials so they<br />

are well-rooted in their containers by the<br />

time winter arrives.<br />

• Perennials with evergreen foliage should not<br />

be cut back going into winter, but perennials<br />

with dormant foliage should be cut back<br />

before overwintering.<br />

• Most perennials prefer to have moist roots<br />

going into winter since the moisture helps to<br />

insulate the roots and prevent dessication.<br />

• When deciding when to cover your<br />

plants for winter, be sure to monitor weather<br />

conditions closely. Nighttime temperatures<br />

near freezing allow the plants to harden off<br />

before covering, but if the forecast predicts<br />

nighttime temperatures below 25°F, it’s time<br />

to cover your plants. Do not cover plants<br />

before they are hardened off.<br />

• It is important to keep your plants from<br />

freezing over the winter. There are several<br />

overwintering methods to choose from. See<br />

our Simple, Sensible, Solutions® guide or<br />

www.<strong>Walters</strong><strong>Gardens</strong>.com for details.<br />

Hardiness Zones<br />

• Zones listed in parenthesis ( ) in this catalog<br />

represent marginal hardiness with protection.<br />

For example, a plant listed as Z(4)5-9<br />

would be marginally hardy with protection<br />

in zone 4, but should be reliably hardy in<br />

zone 5.<br />

• The zones listed in this catalog are based<br />

on the <strong>19</strong>90 USDA Hardiness Zone map,<br />

not the new 2012 map. The map we use is<br />

pictured below.<br />

Frequently Asked Questions<br />

Reference Pages<br />

Q. Do tags automatically come with every plant I order?<br />

A. Labels DO NOT automatically come with non-patented and nonbranded<br />

items and should be ordered when you place your plant<br />

order. Labels for patented, patent pending, and Proven Winners®<br />

items are automatically sent. Label prices are listed in the back of this<br />

catalog. Any label orders received less than 10 business days prior to<br />

shipping will be billed at the Level 1 rate and charged a $25 admin fee.<br />

Q. Is there a minimum order?<br />

A. There is no minimum dollar amount required. Please order plants<br />

in the multiples specified on our price list.<br />

Q. How do I know what is currently available?<br />

A. Our availability list is updated weekly. Sign up to have it e-mailed<br />

to you automatically each week by contacting our Customer Care<br />

Department: sales@waltersgardens.com. It may also be viewed<br />

online at www.<strong>Walters</strong><strong>Gardens</strong>.com. Please give us a call if you<br />

would like a copy faxed to you: 1-888-925-8377.<br />

Q. What is required when I order Proven Winners® Perennials?<br />

A. Proven Winners labels and branded containers are required<br />

for all Proven Winners Perennials. The cost of the stake labels is<br />

included in the variety license fee amount. Premium square labels,<br />

stakes, and containers are priced separately. For your convenience,<br />

a recommended container size is listed with each Proven Winners<br />

Perennial in this catalog.<br />

Q. When is the best time to order?<br />

A. We strongly suggest ordering early, especially with new and top<br />

selling items. It’s a good idea to place your order as soon as our New<br />

Item List is published since these plants tend to sell out quickly.<br />

Likewise, place your summer and catalog orders as soon as you<br />

receive these publications. If an item is sold out, we will be happy to<br />

enter a future order for you.<br />

Q. What if the item I want is sold out?<br />

A. Be the first in line for next season by placing a future order.<br />

Q. Can I place my order online?<br />

A. Yes! Current customers who order direct or through an<br />

independent sales representative may place their plant orders online<br />

through our customer login 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Go to<br />

www.<strong>Walters</strong><strong>Gardens</strong>.com for more information.<br />

Q. Can I make changes to my order?<br />

A. Yes, we would be happy to accept your order changes up to 12<br />

business days before your requested ship date. To ensure accuracy, we<br />

prefer to receive any changes in writing via fax or email, but will also<br />

accept changes by phone.<br />

Q. Why did I only receive labels for part of my order?<br />

A. Most likely, you had Proven Winners® or patented plants on your<br />

order for which labels were required. If you would like labels for all of<br />

your plants, please request them when you place your plant order.<br />

Q. How will my order be shipped?<br />

A. We use the best, most efficient methods of shipping possible.<br />

Smaller orders are shipped by UPS. Palletized and rack orders are<br />

shipped by LTL (Less Than Load) and private carriers. See p. 205 for<br />

more information.<br />

Q. What time of year do you typically ship?<br />

A. We ship plants year round, nationwide and into Canada. Many<br />

items in this catalog begin shipping in mid-July. See the price list for<br />

details.<br />

Q. What do you charge for shipping?<br />

A. Shipping costs can range from 5-25% of the order total. There may<br />

be exceptions for smaller orders and those being shipped to the far<br />

western states or Canada.<br />

Q. How do I establish credit with <strong>Walters</strong> <strong>Gardens</strong>, Inc.?<br />

A. Simply fill out the credit application on p. 213-215 of this catalog<br />

and fax or mail it in with your order. Credit applications may also be<br />

submitted online at www.<strong>Walters</strong><strong>Gardens</strong>.com.<br />
