Over the years , Lucas Greenhouses has become the industry ’ s east coast trial destination . Visitors travel great distances to see the newest varieties and top performers before they even hit the market .
Starting in July and running through September you can view almost 1,000 large pots of vegetative annuals on display in our nearly 4 acre trial area . Or you can visit us in late September to view our mum and aster trial which features several hundred different varieties from multiple breeders .
Also , our landscape customers have found our in-ground trial areas extremely helpful . Each year we continue to expand these beds , giving you more ideas for future plantings . If you would like to view the trials , please call ahead to make an appointment . This way we can have someone available to show you through the trials .
