Emerald Coast Growers Releases 2012-13 Catalog

Pensacola, Fla.  – Hot off the presses, Emerald Coast Growers’ new 2012-13 Catalog is now available, with more than 100 new varieties including 3 exclusively available from the perennial and ornamental grass leader.

“Beyond a full guide to plants, we track consumer buying habits, design and home trends, and look at both past and current scenarios to make our catalog a true resource,” says Cheri Markowitz, Sales Manager.

This year’s version taps into home and garden trends like succulents, with a new Sempervivum Color Mix that joins the popular Chicks Mix and their extensive succulent assortment.

Designer grasses stay red hot, and it shows with two new selections, Muhlenbergia capillaris 'Fast Forward' and Panicum virgatum 'Hot Rod', available only from Emerald Coast Growers (ECG). And perennials continue their retro resurgence, with new ECG exclusive Stokesia laevis 'Divinity' leading the way.

In all, more than 100 future best sellers join the fray for 2012-13, joining the already robust selection of perennials, ornamental grasses and ECG’s own Native Wonders™ collection of North American native grasses and perennials.

Additional value comes from available picture tags and a CD of customizable point-of-purchase cards that provide a simple and inexpensive way for retailers to market plants.

The print catalog works in tandem with the comprehensive online database at www.ecgrowers.com, which includes descriptions, zones, culture, usage, pricing and more and is fully searchable.
