What’s New
October 11, 2011It’s not an accident that Wight’s has been setting the standard for what a specialty retail store should be for over 45 years. Our buying team goes around the country to top gift shows and markets in search of the best new merchandise. (Also see “Great Gift Ideas” page.)
Here’s a few of our latest buyers’ finds as well as some seasonal favorites that we love year after year.
Helleborus niger ‘HGC® Jacob’
Helleborus niger ‘HGC® Jacob’ brings new life to winter-blooming Hellebores. Flowering the first year, they are long blooming, with lots of buds and blossoms. The large flowers are upward and outward facing, making it easy to appreciate their natural beauty. It is a no-fuss hellebore in that you may remove old foliage to control size, but this new hybrid has disease resistant foliage, so there is no need to remove the leaves.
.
It makes a great hostess or office gift! The slightly fragrant, pure white flowers will bloom for several weeks indoors for holiday decorating, and can be planted in your garden for years of winter cheer. ‘Jacob’ is “dressed and ready to go” in either 4″ or 6″ red pots.
.
As long-lived perennials, they are deer resistant, making a great evergreen ground cover and good choice for shady borders. Outstanding in patio tubs or planters, they should be placed where their winter flowers can be appreciated.
Height: 9–12″ Spread: 13″
Bloom time: mid-Nov – mid-Jan
USDA Zone: 4(-30º)
• Keep in a bright cool location.

Amazing Hummingbird Story of Red Rufous
A new illustrated book for ages 5-adult. This is a local story about a Rufous Hummingbird and the journey he makes from Washington to southern Mexico and back during his first year of life. It is a fun story, based on a real hummingbird nest we monitored, with plenty of factual information about hummingbirds.
