Essentials for Success

For flourishing plants, use potting soil for potted plants or planting mix for garden beds paired with Root Zone starter fertilizer is the perfect duo to foster robust root growth and minimize transplant shock.

Care

Planting & Growing

Provide slightly acidic, well-drained soil; shelter from drying winds. Avoid harsh afternoon sun exposures in hot summer areas. Mulch to keep root zone cool. Water deeply, regularly during first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Apply slow-release fertilizer in early spring.

Gift cards

My daughter and son in law have birthdays a day apart. They live in CA, I live in Boston. This is a very convenient way to celebrate. The fact that they were emailed on the actual birthdays was amazing.
They go to Armstrong’s quite often.

Zero Follow Through

I paid for the consultation service. Armstrong states a rep will contact you within three business days. It has been over a week and no one has contacted me. I called and left a message on the office phone number listed on my receipt. No call back. It seems they are unreliable and not customer service oriented.

Great service

Very helpful staff and a nice selection will use again

No Bueno

We went specifically to buy the Munstead Lavender in their ad for $5.99. Their website & POS system said they were in stock. No staff member could locate them. They all said they had never seen them. They offered to special order them at the sale price, then the POS system said the warehouse was out of stock. Then they offered to order the 1 gallon version at full price. I’m OK with ordering the larger version, but would have appreciated some sort of discount since they never had the 4” version mentioned in the ad. 😕
