Since 1926, the innovative experts at Monrovia have been focused on growing Distinctively Better plants. They are pioneers in the development of better soil mixes, better irrigation systems, better propagating, pruning and planting equipment and better expertise about plant varieties. Human hands touch every one of the 22 million plants they produce each year. The result: Monrovia plants will not only survive, they will thrive in home gardens.
This plant's custom soil blend contains living microorganisms called mycorrhizae, a natural fungus that will maximize the disease resistance and fertility of your garden's ecosystem by strengthening root growth, stimulating nutrient and water uptake and reducing transplant shock.
