HAPPY BIRTHDAY—TO US! January 2016 marks 25 years in operation for Emerald Coast Growers—our silver anniversary. It’s been
quite a journey. From modest beginnings with fewer than 10,000 square feet of greenhouses in 1991, we’ve
expanded incrementally, methodically and manageably. By 1994, that number had tripled. By 1996, it had
increased tenfold.

On the threshold of our second quarter-century, our growing space is measured in acres and still increasing:
By 2016 we expect to have over half a million square feet of greenhouses, with 30-plus acres of field crops
for grass divisions.
Here’s a snapshot of Emerald Coast Growers at 25 and counting:
Pensacola, FL: Headquarters & Shipping Hub
· Completely reconfigured shipping facilities for greater efficiency and better plant care.
· Picture tag inventory for all your plant ID needs.
· Trial houses and gardens, where we audition potential introductions and establish production protocols.
· A new germination chamber with LED lighting. Our seedlings get a better, faster, more vigorous start on
their way to becoming your liners.
· Our industry-leading customer service team.
Milton, FL: Grass Farm
· New multi-row planting machinery makes quick, clean work of setting roots into place, while
simultaneously installing irrigation lines in a single pass.
· New central warehouse with two soil-handling systems fills trays for all locations.
· New Atlas greenhouses for propagation of grass crops from field divisions.
Pace, FL
· Renovated greenhouses, plus outdoor growing and holding space.
· Wide range of vegetative perennial production.
· Phlox and Sedum specialties.
Lancaster, PA
· Our northern shipping and pickup point.
· Milder climate for cool-season grasses and heat-intolerant perennials.
· Trial garden for new variety observation and photo ops.
· Free pickup of Florida-grown material means huge freight savings.
We’re proud of how the company has thrived, and we’re grateful to our customers who make it possible.
It hasn’t always been easy: Mother Nature has handed us some serious setbacks. We took the blows,
rebounded and kept growing.
But growth for the sake of growth is not a good business model. Good business means making your good
business better, not just bigger, at every opportunity. Success is helping your customers succeed.
We’ve spent the last quarter century looking for ways to improve our products and practices. We intend to
keep doing so for the next quarter century—with you, and for you. Thank you for joining us on our journey.

CLAIMS
To serve you better, if there is a problem with your shipment,
please call us promptly. Your call is important to help identify and
resolve any problems, and will facilitate any future claim if needed.
WHEN ORDERING, PLEASE INCLUDE:
• Business name
• Contact name
• Billing address
• Shipping address (Not a P.O. Box)
• Phone and fax numbers
• Email address
• Requested ship date
• Preferred shipping method
• Method of payment
• Include picture tags with order, Y/N
Please call our office if you see damage to boxes or plants on
arrival. If possible, note the damage with the delivery driver.
In all but the most extreme cases, accept the delivery. Notify
us of the problem, and keep a record of any losses. We will
handle claims with the carrier as necessary, and arrange credit
and/or replacements.
DORMANT PLANTS
In winter and early spring, you may open our boxes and find
starters with brown leaves, or even no leaves. What’s wrong?
Probably nothing. Your plants are simply dormant.
PAYMENT TERMS
For customers with credit already approved by ECG, terms are
Net 30 days. A finance charge of 1.5% per month is added to pastdue invoices.
Perennials rest in winter, storing precious energy in their roots,
ready to push out new growth when warm weather returns. It’s
natural for foliage to turn brown or drop off. Examine the roots.
They should be firm and fleshy, not soft and mushy.
If you do not have an account and wish to establish credit, please
call our office.
We accept American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa.
Most perennials benefit from a cold period, and some absolutely
require it to flower. Vernalized plants often out-perform those that
have had it too soft. If you’re unsure, just wait. Keep your trays
evenly moist, NOT sopping wet, in a warm, bright house. When
clear signs of life appear, pot up as usual.
Due to the nature of our products, we cannot accept COD orders.
Prepayment by check or money order is welcome, but please,
always check availability before mailing payment. All prices and
products are F.O.B. Pensacola, FL, or F.O.B. Lancaster, PA.
Don’t frown at the brown. Brown is beautiful. Like the rest of the
world, your starters will be lush and green again before you know it.
CUSTOM GROWN ORDERS
Don’t see what you want in a size that suits your needs? We will
custom grow, year-round, many perennials and ornamental grasses
in sizes other than our spec production. Quantity restrictions apply.
MINIMUM ORDERS
Our minimum order is just one (1) tray.
PHYTOSANITARY CHARGES
All orders shipping to Canada or other countries require an
additional fee of $50 for Phytosanitary documents.

THE POWER OF TAGS A Picture Says a Thousand Words. Plant tags have
tremendous power. A plant in its prime at the peak
of the season will sell itself, but tags help close the
deal anytime. Our color picture tags make your
ornamentals’ potential tangible, showing your
customers a beautiful, mature plant even when the
real thing isn’t in full bloom. Finally, tags aren’t just
a pretty face: they provide the practical growing
information your customers need to succeed.
Ask for picture tags with your next order.

Perennials
Best in
Breed(ing)
In the 25 years since Emerald Coast Growers was born, the perennial industry has undergone a
remarkable transformation.
For decades, perennials were orphans. Neither nursery nor greenhouse crops, they were a niche specialty
indulged in by scattered propagators and finishers, often considered somewhat eccentric. Most perennials
were grown from seed, like annuals, or from woody cuttings or root divisions, like shrubs. The category was
under-represented in American gardens and garden centers.
All that changed in the 1970s. Slowly at first, but gathering pace, perennials appeared more and more
often—in public landscapes, home gardens, and breeding programs. Perennial gardening ceased to be
odd; perennial growers found themselves in the mainstream.
New tools came into play. Production split and splintered among networks of specialists, each forging a
link in a chain of symbiotic relationships. Tissue culture labs learned to mass-produce stubborn genera
that resisted traditional propagation. Offshore farms offered unrooted cuttings. Growers held fewer stock
plants, freeing space for production.
At ECG, we embrace the best of new and old. We still sow lots of seed. We still work with divisions or
cuttings of our own stock—labor-intensive, but time-proven methods. Simultaneously, we team with the
world’s best breeders and avail ourselves of the fantastic array of exciting new varieties. Result: Today’s
gardeners and designers can dip into an unprecedented palette of form and color.
The Babikow family was instrumental in the rise in popularity of herbaceous perennials. We’re very
conscious, and very proud, of our role as your key link in that interdependent chain. The blooming glory
that enlivens America each year doesn’t just happen. It takes a concerted effort.
We cultivate more than hardy plants. We forge partnerships that stand the test of time.

Ornamental Grasses
You know our grasses because we know our grasses.
Emerald Coast Growers was born a quarter of a century ago, when David and Wyona Babikow and family
moved to Florida to produce what was then an avant-garde specialty crop: Ornamental grasses.
Both parents brought a wealth of green industry experience to the new venture. David earned his hands-on
plant knowledge growing up in the family nursery, Babikow Greenhouses in Baltimore. Later, as vice president
of Green Leaf Enterprises, he spearheaded the introduction of ornamental grasses to the product line.
Having served as Green Leaf’s corporate secretary, Wyona was well-equipped to handle the administration
and finance side of the business. Long before David and Wyona officially retired just last year, they had
gradually handed over the reins to their sons Paul and Mark and daughters Cheri Markowitz and Bonnie
Mietling—the fifth generation of Babikows in American horticulture.
Over the years, even as Emerald Coast Growers expanded into perennials, ornamental grasses have remained
the backbone, the signature crop. So you could say we were growing grasses before grasses were cool. But
actually, they’ve always been cool. Big vertical grasses make bold architectural statements. Small grasses
stitch disparate flowers and shrubs into coherent displays. There’s a grass for every purpose, hardiness zone
and exposure.
Grasses embody a unique, easily appreciated suite of garden assets; they just take some getting used to.
American gardeners and designers have long since taken that step. Ornamental grasses are an accepted,
respected and expected element in well-designed landscapes.
And they’re still our specialty, just as they’ve been for 25 years. Your customers will see the difference when
you start your grasses with our grasses.

outward. The showy flowers are composed of many small spikelets with needle-like awns of beige, red, or pink. These finely divided parts catch
sunlight to glow beautifully, especially when lit from behind.
There are three basic foliage options: Solid green, longitudinally variegated, and horizontally banded. Foliage may turn bronze, red, or gold in the fall,
and holds up well through winter. Miscanthus can be used alone as specimens, or massed for screens, hedges, and backgrounds. The plumes make
long-lasting cut flowers. Spring and fall are both appropriate planting times. Ideal conditions include full sun to bright shade, and fertile soil. They
grow well near water, and require irrigation in hot, dry conditions.
×giganteus (Giant miscanthus)
Magnificent upright clumps of wide green leaves. Flower stalks soar to 10’. Light pink plumes mature to silver. Sterile, won’t self sow. A bold garden statement.

hyb. Majestic™ (‘Tift 40’) PP25518
Long, broad leaves of rich purple-red flow gracefully. hyb. Noble (‘Tift 114’) PPAF new
Big and bold, dark and dense, tall in stature, broad of blade and habit. A benign ruler of the sunny garden.
purpureum ‘Prince’ PP18509
Dappled blades grow ever-deeper purple, unlike many that fade in summer heat. Fuller, faster growth than other purple grasses. Flowers only in frost-free winters.
p. ‘Princess’ PP17728

Similar to ‘Princess’ with improved purple color and enhanced disease resistance. hyb. Royal Lady™ (‘Tift 11’) PP25514 Blades emerge green, then darken with heat and sun to maroon and finally royal purple with red midrib. Assertively upright, yet full and graceful.
Phalaris (Ribbon grass) A classic garden beauty since Victorian times. Soft, relaxed vertical foliage is lovely and natural-looking.
Moisture-loving; thrives streamside, pondside, and in containers.

Native Wonders
™
North American Native Plant Collection
Our Native Wonders collection is more than a litany of plants with North American bloodlines. If native status were the only
qualification, this list would be much longer.
We don’t include every plant we grow whose ancestry is rooted in the Americas. Nor do we exclude excellent plants by defining
“native” down to the narrowest possible provenance. Our main criterion: Ornamental value.
Native Wonders gives growers the ingredients necessary to assemble a marketable, comprehensive natives program. At retail,
Native Wonders conveys two legitimate selling points: Beauty and authenticity.
Most importantly, Native Wonders gives the consumer an attractive selection of truly garden-worthy perennials and grasses, with
an important plus:
Gardeners can feel good about including these plants in their American landscape. Because that’s exactly where they belong.
