funds raised were $1,100.
We appreciate all of those who have supported this cause throughout the years, the garden community,
friends, family and individuals who have donated in Kathy’s name. A big thank you to Cornell who hosts
the annual container contest at the field day, and to New York State Flower Industries for coordinating

Easter Basket
Early Spring Selections
Beds & Borders offers a wide variety of material for early spring plantings that perform
well in cool weather. This season we will improve our hardening-off process. The pansy
and viola crops will be grown in our outdoor hoop houses, keeping them outdoors will
prevent any weather related shock.
We have added many new gift items to our existing line of favorites. These high quality containers
are filled with an artistic ‘cool mix’ of plant material. The ‘cool mix’ is a mixture of both annuals
and perennials. We have selected perennials with great color and texture to compliment our
selected annuals. In addition, it adds value and sustainability to each pot.
The first crop of early spring material will be ready to ship at the end of March as in previous years.

until the frost. Each 3" bloom is broadly campanulate

appear continually all summer and into fall although the
plant is never amassed with large numbers at any one
point. Twelve inch leaves are linear and deep, deep green.
S
Salvia (1 qt)
Here lies a vast selection of primarily tender perennials in
Zone 7 that behave like annuals. They grow quickly, bloom
for a considerable length of the season lasting until hard
frost. The characteristic structure of the flower consists of
the corolla or tubular part of the flower consisting of two
lips of unequal length, lower one usually spreading. The
calyx or covering is often quite distinctive, having two-lips.
Salvias are an important source of nectar for hummingbirds
and butterflies. They are a decorative necessity for a border
in need of color in August through early November. Quite
simply, they are essential.
Salvia argentea (Silver Salvia)
Biennial form with exceptionally grey, toothed and fuzzy
basal rosette of foliage 8" tall. 2 to 4' white flower stalks
usually appear the following year. Technically a biennial,
meaning it should die the second season of flowering. It
occasionally acts like a perennial.
Salvia argentea
Salvia Salvia c. ‘Lady in Red’
Salvia chamaedryoides
Very small grey leaves packed densely on spreading
stems. Bright, clear blue blooms are always present
well until the hardest frost. Spills over the edge of a
pot beautifully. Foliage always looks clean and sturdy.
Salvia chiapensis
Throughout the summer and into October bright fuchsia,
fuzzy blooms contrast solidly with its deep green, glossy
leaves. Stems sprawl allowing the plant to achieve a nice
18" spread with flower spikes reaching 2'.
Salvia coccinea
Salvia chiapensis
Salvia c. ‘Snow White’
Characteristic of the coccinea species of salvia, the
next three varieties produce distinctly graceful blooms,
in whorls, along the raceme. Like re-blooming perennials,
removal of spent flowers or frequent use as a cut flower will
prolong bloom time. Foliage is triangular and mint-like.
S. c. ‘Cherry Blossom’ (syn. S.c. ‘Coral Nymph’)
Corolla comprised of a white upper lip and a salmon-pink
lower lip. The overall effect is exquisitely pink. 18-24"
S. c. ‘Lady in Red’
This variety has deep scarlet blooms reaching 15-18"
and is well branched. Great alternative to the common
red S. splendens.
S. c. ‘Snow White’

‘Waverly’
Salvia g. ‘Big Pink’ Salvia g. ‘San Antonio’ Salvia g. ‘Black & Blue’ Salvia x ‘Indigo Spires’ Salvia leucantha
Salvia discolor
Noteworthy grey foliage is angular, lower surface and stems
are tomentose and white. Long arching stems and generous
spacing of the leaf pairs give the plant a wiry appearance.
Functionally, it is marvelous when the long stems extend
through full foliage. It can look sparse otherwise. Nearly black
corolla with grey calyx in late spring and August-October.
Salvia farinacea
Common blue bedding form of Salvia, with uncommon
qualities. Pencil thin flower spikes. Tough performer!
S. f. ‘Blue Bedder’
Tall form of Victoria Blue. 36"

ovate, mint-green leaves draw out both yellow and blue tones.
Particularly useful in the border in August and September
for tall color. Plant several together to make a statement.
Can handle part day shade.
S. guaranitica
Species of brilliant blue.
S. g. ‘Argentine Skies’
Pale blue form.
S. g. ‘Black & Blue’
Black calyx with a brilliant blue blossom.
Salvia x ‘Indigo Spires’
Dramatic salvia with densely packed, deep violet-blue spikes
appearing throughout the summer peaking right on through
until frost. The color intensifies as the nights get cooler.
In August expect the flower spikes to reach 2' atop 4-6'
plants. A hybrid product of S. farinacea and S. longispicata,
the bloom resembles that of Victoria Blue only larger in
every way. Consistently a top seller for good reason. At the
back of the border the woody base is hidden and the effect
spectacular. Beautiful company for Rudbeckia, Helianthus,
Echinacea, Nicotiana sylvestris, Lilies, Gaura, or Cosmos.
Salvia x ‘Mystic Spires’
Deep-violet blue flowers. 24-36"
Salvia interrupta ‘Waverly’
Light lavender blooms, as fuzzy as Salvia leucantha,
begin appearing in June and continue throughout the
season. The flower spikes elegantly rise to 4' with
crinkled sage green leaves.
Salvia involucrata (Rosebud Salvia)
S. i. ‘Bethelli’
Good for shady spots or full sun. Leaves are large and
fuzzy, light grey with pinkish veins. Deep rose-pink corolla
and bracts on a 6' plant in August last until the hard frost.
S. i. ‘Mulberry Jam’
Unlike the Rosebud Salvia, this involucrata selection has
a graceful flower spike without a clunky knob at the end.
Color is a deep fuchsia pink in both bracts and blossoms
and reaches 4-5' in sun or part shade.
Salvia leucantha (Mexican Bush Sage)
This is a well branched 3' sub-shrub by fall when it
flowers. Lacinate, tomentose, grey-green leaves are
attractive all season. In September, flowers appear.
The show peaks for the fall garden when all else is
in decline. It is an exceptional cut flower, fresh or dried.
One plant has over 100 flower stalks on it. Lasts till
the killing frost. Tomentose violet-purple calyx with
either a white or purple corolla.

Salvia mexicana ‘Tula’
Collected by Carl Shoenfeld and John Fairey, this salvia

calyces. Corollas emerge in deep gentian blue creating
a contrast beyond all dreams. Blooms in September
until the hard frost.

S. guaranitica. Large mint green leaves on robust stems
reaching 4-5'. Blooms mid summer until the hard frost.
Salvia splendens ‘Van Houttei’
This is a premium 4' salvia. Grows in any reasonably
moist soil but in light shade it is simply extraordinary.
Rapid growth and floriferous habit characterize this
summer and autumn thriller.
S. s. ‘Van Houttei’
Burgundy-rosy red.
Salvia s. ‘Van Houttei Paul’ Salvia uliginosa
Salvia ‘Wendy’s Wish’
S. s. ‘Van Houttei Louie’s Orange Delight’
With orange-red bracts and blossoms on this van
houttei variety, it is the loudest salvia we offer.
S. s. ‘Van Houttei Paul’
Plump purple blossoms and bracts cover this
floriferous and attractive form.
Salvia uliginosa
Clear sky blue flowers appear over willowy thin stems
in the latter part of summer. This is an improved, large
flower form reaching 5' in height. Looks especially striking
planted in mass with V. bonariensis. Can handle wet
feet and generally not particular to any soil type. It is
an effective choice for a meadow or informal garden
setting as well as the border.
Salvia ‘Wendy’s Wish’
Large hot pink tubular blooms, complimented by dark
green leaves with maroon stems. Compact growth, this
Salvia is about 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide. The breeder’s
wish is to donate a portion of the plant proceeds to the

(Gold Trailing Spikemoss) (1 qt)
Tight growing, prehistoric relative of the fern.
Numerous yellow lacey fronds skim the ground at
4" or mound at the edge of a pot. Keep from scorching
sun, perfect for a shade pot, perhaps a simple edge for
topiary. Hardy to zone 7 as a woodland plant.
Senecio (1 qt)
Selaginella kraussiana
aureum
Broad array of species exists in this genus. These two
selections are gifts from Longwood Gardens, which
are used beautifully there.
S. ‘Vira-Vira’
This fuzzy, grey leafed Senecio is closely related to
Centaurea. As a matter of fact, our first plant was originally
identified as Centaurea pulchellum. It makes sense then
that this silver beauty is very similar to Centaurea
gymnocarpa and can also be used as an upright grey
foliage addition to the garden or pot. Its leaves are wider
in habit and quite finely divided. The plant reaches 2'.

Container Collection

Alabama Sunset
Container Collection pre-packaged design Argentea
Beds & Borders Container Collection is a unique program designed to effectively merchandise and market professionally
designed container plantings in one simple unit. It is difficult, even for an accomplished gardener, to construct an artful container planting
when faced with many individual plants on the garden center bench. It is perhaps just as difficult for the garden center to devote trained
personnel to assist each customer. Beds & Borders has developed a simple pre-packaged design. Available as a finished 16" pre-planted container or
an exclusive custom designed, recyclable, cardboard basket holding 9 assorted plants. Also included is a double sided Point-of-Purchase posters which
stands within each collection. Informational placards are also included with planting and care instructions for all thirteen container designs. Corresponding
garden press and wire locking components will be available upon request. Each pre-assembled basket arrives ready to place on the retail sales table,
forming a container gardening display linking cross-merchandised products.

To our valued customers,
As we approach the upcoming season, I would like to share with you all that Beds & Borders has accomplished over the past year. By every measure, 2011 was a strong year.
After a season of careful analysis, we have come up with new ways to improve upon existing offerings while continuing to develop new products and programs that will accelerate
the growth of the brand and deliver the best possible solutions to our customers.
As a part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and efficiency, we are putting an increased emphasis on our many digital initiatives. We encourage you to access Beds & Borders
information electronically, using our online ordering process, a writable PDF order form that is downloadable for all of our customers on our website; bedsandborders.com.
If you share your email address with us, we can send you paperless correspondence, including statements, acknowledgements, invoices and availability. Our weekly availability
update is sent out every Friday via an electronic email program. This update provides a weekly detailed crop status list, our shipping schedule and weekly plant highlights.
Participating in social media and mobile technology is a great way to enhance your shopping experience. You can find us on Facebook. We post to Facebook daily during the spring months.
You can check out new plants, view sales, participate in plant conversations, see availability and be automatically eligible for giveaways. Additionally, we have introduced QR codes (Quick
Response barcode) for all of our STD1Q potted plants, linking you to cultural information at your fingertips. Our goal is to continue to build on our most significant asset – real-time
connections with our customers.
In an effort to make sure our products are priced to accurately reflect what it costs us to produce them, we performed an extensive cost analysis of all product lines. We found that some
product line pricing can be lowered. However, due to ever-increasing business expense, you will see a 2% increase in our base annual price. To offset any pricing increase, we are pleased
to offer an early order discount on orders received prior to February 3, 2012. The discount offers a potential savings of 5%. There will be a 3% discount for all early orders over $1,500
and an additional 2% discount will be given if you prepay 50% with your order. We encourage you to take advantage of this offer.
It is with the support of you, our business partners, that we are able to continue to reach great heights. As always, I appreciate your feedback and look forward to another wonderful year.
Warmest wishes,
Kevin Cande
