Weekly Direction

Week of May 12

ORDERS

• It will feel full and congested for the next several weeks. Just do the best you can and try to stay positive and fully engaged!

PRODUCT

Hosta, Day Lilies, Succulent are all items that are slower sellers. They hang in around in the stores all season long and rarely ever need culled. The only time one of these items will need culled is if it is no longer worth the full price due to the elements like, water, sun, cold damage or any thing else that might happen to it.

Please do not clearance items only to make space for new product, that is not a reason that we clearacne. If you feel you are full in your store, let your Field Coordinator know and we can try and ship you less product.

• Please continue to cull out all sizes of spring product where applicable…Phlox, Iberis, Columbine, Dianthus, Lithodoria, Viola, Armeria, Pincushion or anything else that is questionable. Do not hesitate- Please Clearance!
• If you have yellow or brown items that have been siting on your clearance rack for longer than a week or so, and are no longer worth the 50% off clearance price, please TOSS! Only the freshest clearance on the racks!
• Make sure end caps are full and colorful for the Mother’s Day weekend! Callas, Asiatics, Hydrangeas…are great end cap items.
• There is a new order of MEANS product that has hit/is hitting stores. It has the roses, weigela and other flowering shrubs. Your Field Coordinators will help initiate the placement of this product with the stores. If the roses come in with moldy blooms, we have been asked to pick through them snipping off the moldy blooms. If you have really bad ones, let your Field Coordinator know and they should be around to help decide to clearance or toss.
