Resources for Lowe's
Welcome to the Lowe's Monrovia resources page. We want you to feel confident and knowledgeable about selling our plants at your stores.
We have been pioneers and craftsmen in the art of growing plants for nearly 100 years. Since our founding in Southern California by Harry E. Rosedale, Sr. in 1926, we have been absolutely dedicated and obsessed with quality.
Quality starts by selecting the very best varieties of plants to grow, working with breeders from around the world to test and trial plants before we deem them suitable for your garden center. From our custom soil mixes developed to ensure healthy roots to the care we take in pruning and shaping our plants as they grow, Monrovia is also focused on giving every plant what it needs to thrive. Below you’ll find helpful information to use in serving your customer.

Key Plants
Information about the top 10 varieties at your stores:
Emerald Colonnade® Holly
This handsome and versatile male evergreen holly with a natural pyramidal form creates a superb hedge, screen, or windbreak. Dense, glossy, bright green foliage is tolerant of shearing, making it an excellent topiary specimen or formal accent to entryways or gardens. Small cream-colored flowers do not produce berries.
Fiesta™ Paloma Lantana
Orange and yellow sterile flowers are a festive addition to gardens in warmer areas, or use as an annual where not hardy. Slightly trailing habit is perfect for hanging baskets and containers. Evergreen where hardy.
Summerlasting™ Raspberry Crape Myrtle
Why wait for colorful crape myrtle blooms' Bright pink flowers appear weeks earlier than other dark foliage varieties, and rebloom without the need for deadheading, filling your summer with color that pops in front of black foliage. This compact, dwarf variety is perfect for smaller landscapes, or plant en masse for a dramatic statement.
Bridal Veil® Agapanthus
Clusters of big pure-white flowers are held on shorter stems above wide, strap-like leaves. Both foliage and blooms are densely held, making for a wonderfully compact plant. The smaller size is great for containers or for massing in the front of perennial beds. Evergreen; may go dormant in cooler areas.
Burgundy Queen® Bougainvillea
This showy climber provides a double shot of color with every new flush of growth emerging a dramatic dark burgundy, followed by deep burgundy flower-like bracts. Use for a lush tropical effect on arbors, trellises, and spilling over fences. Evergreen in frost-free regions; can be used in colder climates as a summer annual for patio containers and hanging baskets.
