Sabo’s is stocked with all the colors of the rainbow! We grow flowers and foliage in all different shapes, sizes, and hues so your pots, planters, and gardens are sure to burst with life. Spring varieties are numerous and ever-changing – it’s best to call and ask if you’re looking for something specific! In the late summer and fall, we transition to autumn colors and textures with a MASSIVE stock of Mums. We choose a range of families to ensure bloom times and full color through the entire season, and we offer both classic chrysanthemum shapes as well as daisy varieties. Alongside our mums, we plant up a blend of ornamental cabbage and kale, celosia, and ornamental peppers to name a few.
Garden Mums
Chrysanthemum × grandiflorum
Modern mums that you’ll find in garden centers and grocery stores are sold as annual plants. Old fashioned mums were dependable perennials, and many people have had them in their gardens for decades. The reason they lost much of their resilience is due to the way they were hybridized, the goal being a more beautiful flower – bigger size, better shape, brighter color – while ignoring hardiness – much like the rose that lost its fragrance. Eventually, the fragrance was bred back into many newer varieties. Perhaps the same will be true for the mum’s hardiness.
As varieties change it has become more difficult to predict the best repeaters, so we call them all “Garden Mums” and provide a care section in our brochure to help customers improve their odds of a repeat performance the following year.
Our Perennials section is regularly stocked with ground cover, shade-loving species, pollinator attractors, vines & climbers, bulbs, grasses, and so much more! Perennials are plants that come back every year if they’re planted in their right environment. Up here in lakeside Northeast Ohio, we’re in USDA Hardiness Zone 6b, meaning the extreme minimal temperature here is between -5 and 0 F. This is a perfect zone for color and longevity as there are plenty of vibrant species that survive our moderate winters! Stock your yard with lower-maintenance beauty that you can enjoy as soon as the weather starts breaking in the spring.
Included in the trees and shrubs are native species, pollinator-attractors, fruits, focal point specimens, privacy builders, and so much more! From low-lying shrubs to sky-scraping hedges, we stock and on-demand order hundreds of species for our customers.
The Herb & Vegetable House is stuffed with peppers & tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, cole crops, and an aromatic arrangement of herbs. Early in the season, we offer a selection of hardy crops like cabbage, kale, and brussels sprouts. As the weather changes and the soil warms, we expend our product to fill your garden beds with a delicious, bountiful harvest.
We offer a large range of unique and interesting specimens to keep your spaces green and vibrant all year round, even in this fluctuating climate! From spiny cacti and bulbous succulents, to eye-catching focal pieces and beautiful room accents, we keep our eyes peeled every new season for fresh and enticing house plants and tropicals to keep your collections growing and thriving! We also stock potting mixes and fertilizers to keep them happy even when the sun isn’t shining.
