Message From Dale 

We all know these are challenging 

times to run a business. Everyone we 

talk to is working harder than ever. 

In the nursery and garden center 

business there is a lot of uncertainty. 

But I encourage each of you to stop, 

take a moment, and think about why 

our industry is so special. We produce 

and offer people plants that beautify 

the world. We renew neighborhoods 

and bring people together. We create 

the smile after a day of hard work. We 

make the world a better place! 

Dale Deppe - President 

Spring Meadow Nursery, Inc., All of us together, have helped to 

evaluating New Lilac Scent 

build the most successful, most trusted 

and Sensibility 

plant brand. Proven Winners is a 

brand that belongs to and benefits all 

of us. You choose the plants that are best for your climate and clientele. 

Each plant sold funds the marketing and builds additional demand. 

The individual mix of Proven Winners plants that you develop gives 

homeowners the confidence to be successful gardeners. 

Together, we’ve all helped to fund over a half a million dollars of breast 

cancer research. We’ve touched lives and given hope to cancer survivors 

and their families with the help of a pink hydrangea. The nursery and 

garden center community has hosted over 300 pink days to raise money 

and awareness for this important cause. 

One plant at a time, the Spring Meadow community of plant geeks has 

raised more than a half million dollars for horticulture research (HRI) 

and endowed one horticulture scholarship. Together we are making 

a difference. 

We’ve made some changes to our 

catalog for 2012-2013. Now vines, 

evergreens and flowering shrubs 

(including broadleaf color items) 

are in separate sections. We hope 

you like this new format!

Spring Meadow 

Facilities 

A Bird’s Eye View 

Spring Meadow Nursery has over 

20 acres of greenhouses, including 

8 acres of Cravo ® retractable 

roof greenhouses and 9 acres of 

Westbrook open roof greenhouses, 

and more than 120 acres dedicated 

to stock plants. 

Technology Means Better Plants 

Spring Meadow Nursery was one 

of the first shrub wholesalers in the 

country to use flood floors, which 

has led to the development of 

healthier, more disease-resistant 

plants. 

Propagation Facilities 

High pressure fog systems, traveling 

booms, bottom heat floors, and 

computerized controls create the 

optimum propagation environment. 

It’s no surprise that many growers use 

us as their propagation department. 

Quality Control 

Our grading machine analyzes each 

plant and sorts it into one of four 

grades. The machine evaluates up to 

7,500 plants per hour. Automating 

the grading process eliminates the 

possibility of human error when deciding 

whether or not to ship a plant, and 

has improved the consistency of Spring 

Meadow Nursery’s product. 

Trimmer 

At Spring Meadow Nursery, we trim 

our liners multiple times to produce 

that perfectly branched, compact 

liner. Historically this has been done 

with hand-held, gas powered hedgetrimmers. 

To accomplish this necessary 

task more effectively and efficiently, 

Spring Meadow invented a new piece 

of equipment: A 24-foot wide trimming 

machine. Using a 24-foot long cutting 

blade, this Spring Meadow-designed 

machine allows one person to trim over 

3500 liner-trays in 10 minutes. It’s 40X more 

efficient than using hedge trimmers, and 

results in a cleaner, more uniform trim.

Liner Sizes 

Spring Meadow Nursery offers a variety of liner sizes, so 

that you can better meet the demands of your climate 

and customers. 

Quick Turn / 16 Tray 

React quickly to market shortages of hot-selling varieties 

with the Quick Turn big, deep, fast-turning liner. Better in 

value than one gallon shift-ups, Quick Turn liners are ideal 

for shifting into one-, two- or three-gallon pots and selling 

quickly, finishing in less than 10 weeks. Available with pallet 

shipments only, select Proven Winners ® ColorChoice ® plants. 

4" Pot / 18 Tray 

Many varieties are available in 4” pots as well as 2 1 /4” pots. 

These varieties will finish in less than one growing season. 

Available with roses, hydrangea, buddleia and other select 

varieties. Excellent value for potting into one- and 

two - gallon pots. 

Suggestions for Ordering 

We pride ourselves on delivering the varieties you want 

when you want them. The sooner we know your liner 

needs and receive your order, the better we can fill it — 

without back orders or running out of stock. Here are a 

few tips to ensure your complete satisfaction: 

Create a Standing Order 

To ensure you receive the varieties you want, year after 

year, create a standing order. We fill standing orders first, 

propagating specifically to meet customers’ requests. 

If you’re worried about changing your mind and getting 

“stuck” with plants you no longer want, don’t worry! You 

can always adjust your order. Ask your sales rep for more 

information. 

Order Early 

Our catalog is published mid to late summer, and smart 

growers know to check out the new varieties and order 

at once (It’s also a great time to adjust your standing 

order, too). 

Small Orders 

Mid-May is the best time for placing a small order 

because our liners are at their peak. This reduces the 

potential of backorders. 

Confirmation and Shipping 

We’ll give you a call about two weeks before your order 

is shipped. This is the perfect opportunity to make last 

minute adjustments to your order and to confirm your 

contact information, delivery address, or any special 

instructions or directions to the driver. 

If you need a price list, please call Spring Meadow 

Nursery, Inc. at 1-800-633-8859. 

2 1 /4" Pot / 32 Tray 

A great buy for potting into one- gallon or 8- inch pots. 

Available in most varieties, these will finish in one growing 

season or less. Spring Meadow Nursery can supply you with 

full color picture tags of all our varieties! Ask your salesperson 

to add tags to your plant order to save you time and make 

your life easier.

Cold isn’t the only factor determining whether plants 

will survive and thrive. Excessive heat, particularly during 

seasons of drought, can negatively impact plants also. 

The 12 zones of the map indicate the average number 

of days each year that a given region experiences “heat 

days” with temperatures over 86 degrees (30 degrees 

Celsius). Zones range from Zone 1 (less than one heat day) 

to Zone 12 (more than 210 heat days).

Marketing 

® 

It starts with great plants. We don’t waste our time 

marketing plants that are anything less than superior. 

If a plant isn’t markedly better than those already on the 

market, it’s not a Proven Winner. Our plants must deliver 

better performance for growers, better shelf appeal for 

retailers, and a standout show in consumers’ gardens. 

State-of-the-art marketing gets the message out 

to gardeners (and non-gardeners who buy plants). 

Online, through our website and social media channels, 

and inspiring people with our e-magazines. 

Our many award-winners illustrate how solid our 

plant selections are: 

6 of the top 10 hydrangeas are Proven Winners ® (Nursery

late spring to summer. New growth is an attractive bright red. 

A branch sport of ‘Sherwood’ discovered by Richard Currin. 


mosanensis 

A hardy, fragrant Abelia! We obtained this deciduous species in Latvia, 

so we know it’s hardy. Wonderfully fragrant, rich pink flowers – better 

fragrance than a lilac! Blooms adorn this plant from late May to early 

June. The glossy summer foliage turns an attractive orange-red in 

autumn. We have never seen any tip die-back on this plant even in years 

when other abelia cultivars are killed to the ground.

the magic. Mass for the best show. NATIVE: North America. 


‘Brilliantissima’ (A. arbutifolia) 

Fragrant white spring flowers, bright red glossy berries, shiny foliage, 

and brilliant red fall color unite to make a superb plant. The fall color 

can’t be beat. NATIVE: North America.

A useful compact Aronia from the Morton Arboretum. It has the same 

beautiful flowers and fall color, but in a smaller package. It is a violation

flower display appears earlier in spring than other selections. The large, 

attractive black fruit persists until spring. Developed in Europe as an 

orchard plant and said to be high in vitamins.

Hydrangea serrata 

Mountain Hydrangea 


H. serrata is native to mountainous regions of Asia and Japan, and 

is better suited to cold climates than H. macrophylla, which is native 

to milder coastal regions. While we have liked H serrata for years 

because of its improved bud hardiness, the new Tuff Stuff hydrangea 

adds another dimension of coolness to this species: it reblooms. If 

your reblooming H. macrophyllas have been inconsistent performers, 

try Tuff Stuff. It’s the reblooming hydrangea that really does.

This is a real beauty, with flowers so delicate and refined that it seems

produces abundant lacecap flowers comprised of doubled sepals. While this plant 

leans to blue, the flower color may range from blue to pink to white – all soft, 

delicate shades perfect for refined gardens. The flowers age to an attractive pink, 

and tip down in a distinctive arching fashion. Propagation prohibited without a license.

Tuff Stuff (H. s. ‘MAK20’ ppaf, cbraf)

accounts. Its attractive, reddish-pink, lacecap flowers create a mass of color in early 

summer. It continues to produce new buds and flowers right up until frost. The semidouble

Giving Back 

Nursery growers know that a small investment today will lead to a better 

tomorrow. Like our many of our customers, Spring Meadow Nursery has a long 

tradition of giving back to the industry that makes our landscapes green. 

HRI 

One of the ways we do this is by working with our customers to fund the 

Horticulture Research Institute (HRI). Since 1962, HRI has worked to increase 

the quality and value of plants, improve the productivity and profitability of 

the nursery and landscape industry, and protect and enhance the environment. 

Every time you make a purchase from Spring Meadow Nursery, we add ¼ of 

1% of your total purchase amount to your invoice as a contribution to HRI. 

Spring Meadow then triples your donation, which is given to HRI to support 

the Spring Meadow Nursery New Plants Fund and the HRI Endowment Fund. 

Most recently these funds supported research into biodegradable nursery

“The information gained from this project will directly benefit producers, 

retail outlets, landscape designers and landscape contractors. It will ultimately

We like to have a more hands-on approach to educating young horticulturists, 

too. Every year Spring Meadow hires several interns and gives them valuable 

work experience in a production nursery. We’ve enjoyed working with young 

people from across the U.S. and Canada, and even as far away as Poland and 

France. If you know of a young person who would like to apply for one of 

next year’s positions, please have them contact Jeremy Deppe, 

(jeremy@springmeadownursery.com).

Super Clematis 

Clematis has a reputation for being difficult. But that 

was before world class clematis breeder Szczepan 

Marczynski developed ‘Sweet Summer Love’ clematis. 

This new, award winning Sweet Autumn Clematis 

hybrid is super easy, super fragrant and super colorful. 

It boasts hundreds of cranberry-violet flowers with a 

delicious cherry-vanilla fragrance. The blooms appear 

in late summer and keep coming right up through 

autumn. Unlike other clematis, pruning is a breeze. 

Just cut it back 1-2’ in the spring, stand back and enjoy. 

It's great for covering fences or dressing up deck rails, 

gazebos and pergolas.
