Learn about the new plant varieties that growers are introducing into the market for 2026 from a well-respected plantsman and owner of Telly’s Greenhouse and Garden Center.
George Papadelis began his journey when, as a young entrepreneur, he set up a small flower stand along John R. Road, selling plants he grew himself. While studying medicine at the University of Michigan, George returned each summer to nurture the business, which grew into a full-fledged seasonal greenhouse. In 1988, he made the pivotal decision to dedicate himself fully to Telly’s, choosing to cultivate plants and serve his community over a career in medicine. Today, Telly’s Greenhouse is a premier destination for high-quality plants and expert advice, offering a diverse selection of annuals, perennials, houseplants, roses, bonsai, trees, shrubs, and much more. His mission is to provide customers with not just beautiful plants, but also the knowledge and support they need to create thriving gardens and green spaces. “At Telly’s, we are passionate about enriching our community with nature’s beauty.” Telly’s Greenhouse has been a family-owned and operated business for over 45 years, proudly serving the communities of Troy and Shelby, Michigan.
