We found a parakeet at the nursery this afternoon: if you lost a pet in our area...6607 S. Campbell Ave, please call to identify him. Ask for Kay: 882-5200.

Stocking some really cute fall lawn art now...also mums and pumpkins...everything you need for fall except the pumpkin spice!

Literally minutes after planting this, I counted nearly a dozen pollinators swarming this plant...at a farmhouse that had nothing flowering until a few days ago. Come to Carson's for the area's largest plant selection: do your part to help the pollinators thrive, and beautify your life at the same time!

Carson's Nurseries wishes you a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend! We will be closed Sunday and Monday so our employees can enjoy the holiday as well. Thank you for your support, and we will reopen Tuesday Sept. 8th for regular business hours!

Landscaping has always been our Specialty from Planning to Planting! We work closely with you from start to finish through the initial visit, the design phase and finally the skills and hard work our excellent crews bring to the table in making your Greenscape dreams a reality. We are ready when you are to get your project started!

Whether you need evergreens or all season color, we have a plant for you! Carson's has one of the largest selections of healthy plant material in the area currently in stock. Stop in our nursery and take a stroll!

The hydrangeas are blooming like crazy in our gazebo: we have so many different kinds available!

The tree form hydrangeas are showing their pretty heads! Great for smaller space at 6-8 foot maturity, these long blooming plants can tolerate a lot of sun.

The sun loving crapemyrtles are showing their colors: undeterred by the heat, they come in a broad selection of sizes and colors. Come in and check out the Ebony Flames chocolate brown foliage and deep red flowers!

Not only are hostas lovely additions to your shade garden with amazing foliage color, they offer very fragrant flowers that the hummingbirds go wild for! Come see our amazing selection.

Have you noticed white fluffy weird thingies on your plants? You may be seeing an infestation of mealybugs. Mealybugs infest all plant parts; feeder roots, root crowns, stems, twigs, leaves, flowers, and fruit. Here, mealybug infestations usually involve leaves (mostly undersides), stems, branches, and joints. They pierce and suck sap, excreting a sticky honeydew over leaves and stems that provides an excellent growth medium for a sooty-colored mold, giving the plant a dirt...y, sooty appearance. Ants are likely to be found feeding on the honeydew. According to the Missouri Botanical Gardens, they can be treated with: Acephate (Orthene), bifenthrin, and pyrethrins. Follow label directions carefully. Photo courtesy of Greenhouse magazine. Article credit to Missouri Botanical Gardens.

Keep an eye out for these pests: bagworms are striking hard now on evergreens. Typically you will see the top start browning first or in patches. The worm builds a cocoon of silk and attaches small pieces of needles and leaves to it. Feeding in the evening, they can destroy a plant in a short amount of time. Spraying the foliage can save the tree....pick off and dispose of as many of the cocoons you can. The female will lay 700 to 800 eggs in each bag...so the more you remove, the more you eliminate. We do offer spray services if you need help!

Carson's Nurseries will be closed over the 4th of July holiday so our associates can enjoy the weekend with their families. We hope you will have a fun but safe weekend as well, and we will be back open on Monday the 6th! Thank you for your business!!
