Ivy topiaries can be such fun as they begin to appear every year around the holidays. Actually, these topiaries are year 'round plants that enjoy the winter indoors and look forward to a summer vacation, too!
Here are a few suggestions for keeping your ivy topiary happy & healthy long after the New Year! Provide bright sunlit areas in the home that aren't hot and dry. Keep the soil barely moist - never allow the soil to dry out or the pot to 'sit' in water. A dust magnet of sorts, give the plant a shower every other week to keep leaves green and lustrous.
Holiday magic! Versatile and attractive, just add a snazzy seasonal bow to your ivy topiary and you've got the ideal centerpiece for dining room or kitchen tables. Dress them up in a decorative pots and use as accents for foyers or fireplace mantles. P.S. - ivy topiaries make great gifts.

Daffodils, tulips, crocus, hyacinths, snow drops, alliums and more - it's bulb planting time on Long Island. Remember - you have to plant these bulbs in the fall to enjoy their amazing blooms in spring. Haven't gotten your bulbs yet? You'll be glad you waited - all spring-flowering bulbs are now 50% off!
Bulb planting is easy and fun. Make it a family activity and get the kids involved; they'll be amazed at the results next spring! Here's how: choose a location that's bright and sunny (6 plus hours a day of sunshine). Well-drained soils are an absolute must; soils that are frequently wet or soggy, especially during the winter months, should be avoided! Not sure how deep to plant your bulbs? Figure 2 ½ to 3 times the diameter of the bulbs in depth. Example - if your tulip bulb is 2" in diameter, plant it 5-6" deep. Add Bulb-tone or bone meal to the soil. Cover the bulbs and water in. Helpful hint: squirrels like tulip bulbs so use a repellent like Repels-All when planting.
Clever gardeners know how to stretch the blooming season by sequencing. Plant early, mid and late season bloomers so you can enjoy months of spring color. Need help in stretching the bloom time? Just ask any of our knowledgeable sales associates.
You can bring the beauty of spring flowering bulbs into your home when you buy extra bulbs for forcing. Not sure how to coax daffodils, tulips and others to bloom for you indoors? We'll share the tricks of the trade with you when you shop at Martin Viette.

Our beautiful, lifelike Christmas trees are now on display and available at Martin Viette Nurseries. (BTW- only 48 days 'til Christmas!) These trees are lifelike in every sense of the word - fuller with many tips, and natural-like color. The only things missing - the fragrance (our Fraser Fir candles will remedy that) and messy dropped needles on the rug or floor. We have many styles and sizes to choose from including the popular table-tops, and 6 ½ to 12' models. Truly, these are not your grandmother's artificial trees.
Dread stringing lights on the tree each year? The solution: our pre-lit trees (pre-lit means that if one light goes out; the rest stay lit) have Ever-Bright lights. Choose from white light, or multi-colored light, models.
