August called. The flowers aren’t done yet.

Late summer is still full of color, blooms, & plenty of garden magic. Here’s just some of what’s flowering around Skillins right now.

🌿 Mike’s Must Haves are back for August! Here are a few of Mike’s favorite plants and picks for the late-summer garden.

🌸 Hydrangeas
Easy to grow, hardy, and absolutely stunning in bloom, they are a garden favorite for a reason. They come back each year, growing bigger and more beautiful with time. We’ve got plenty of varieties, but some of our favorites are the classic Pinky Winky, Popstar, and Little Lime Punch

🌿 Mountain Mint
This tall perennial blooms in August and is a favorite among pollinators. Even better, it attracts beneficial parasitic wasps that help keep unwanted insects in check

🪻 Lobelia
A beautiful Maine native, this plant is best known for it’s red variety, but comes in others like this striking blue one. It’s a reliable flowering plant perennial that adds rich color to your garden.

🌺 Hibiscus
From Tropical Hibiscus to it’s cousin, Rose of Sharon, these plants bring bold color and height to your garden. Their punchy blooms make a statement throughout August.

A little piece of Skillins history is blooming again.

In the very early 1900s, calla lilies were an important crop at Skillins. Grown in our Falmouth greenhouse and available only in white, they became a meaningful part of the family business.

Now, more than a century later, we’re growing callas in our Cumberland greenhouse - continuing a tradition that’s been a part of Skillins’ floral history for generations.

Take a stroll through the garden center with Johnny. Helpful tips - and a couple of detours. 🌱

He covers everything from smarter watering & composting, to bird baths, outdoor living, and arbors.

Catch us in our perennial yards watching pollinators. 🐝🦋✨

Monarchs, clear wing hummingbird moths, so many bees, and even what we think is a bee-fly (Bombylius) can’t stay away from our combo of swamp milkweed, agastache, phlox, and coneflowers.

When you plant a variety of nectar and pollen-rich flowers, your garden becomes more than just beautiful - it becomes a habitat. 🫶
