From Ageratums to Zinnias, and everything in between, we have more than one million plants.Rice Road Greenhouses is famous for having Niagara's largest selection of Annuals and Perennials. Let our expert staff help you find exactly what you're looking for.

Our plant quality is a priority. Plants are grown on site in 40,000 square feet of greenhouse space. Before they are sold to the public, we gradually introduce young plants to our Niagara climate, which we all know can be unpredictable and harsh to new plants. This 'Hardening Off' technique makes a plant stronger and able to flourish in your Niagara garden.

If we had to give one reason for the secret of our success over the years, it would be one word... Annuals. We built our reputation and our business with Annuals. The best quality and the biggest selection in the peninsula is what it's all about. Finally, we know the importance of variety for gardening enthusiasts. The fact that we can offer plants you won't find anywhere else makes us happy as well as our customers. To get a true sense of our vast selection, you must come on down, tour our greenhouses and see for yourself Niagara's best selection.

staff picks

Foliage
Sweet Potato Vine (Ipomoea) Excellent in planters or mixed containers	Sweet Potato Vine Blackie Try combining these with purple flowered annuals Or with terra cotta coloured blooms and foliage.
A hanging basket full of grass? Yes! But isn’t it cool? Green Twist Bamboo (Agrostis stolonifera) is a heavy feeder so water and fertilize regularly.	Polka Dots (Hypoestes) were once a favourite in dish gardens, but they’re wonderful in a partly sunny location in the garden as well. Mass plant them for the most impact. Be sure to pinch out the flowers.
Shade
Coleus Black Dragon, along with all the other Coleus varieties is the perfect foliage plant for shade. It works equally well as a border plant or in mixed containers.	Streptocarpella is one of our Staff Favourites for shade. It has wonderful blue flowers all summer long and does well in hanging baskets and containers.
For blooms that wont quit try the Begonia Non-Stop series (Salmon pictured) It has one of the largest flowers for a shade loving plant.	For fail safe bloom in shade, Impatiens are sure to impress. They can sometimes become tall, but can easily be cut back and they will continue to bloom until frost.
Sun
Salvia Victoria Blue produces masses of blue flowers in a sunny border. Deadheading and regular applications of fertilizer will keep them blooming through the summer.	Melampodium is indispensable in the sunny border. It is a reliable drought tolerant plant.
Lotus Gold Flash is one of the more unusual flowers. When it’s in full bloom the plant appears to be on fire. Lotus demands a sunny location with regular water and fertilizer.	Terra Cotta Million Bells bloom all summer long and are great combined with Sweet Potato Vine Blackie. These are also heavy feeders so water and fertilize regularly for best results.
Gazania Red Stripe is a stand out in the sunny border. Try mass planting them for the best effect.
