Through its Hines Nurseries subsidiary, Hines grows about 4,100 varieties of ornamental shrubs and plants, which it sells to home centers (Home Depot, Lowe's), mass merchandisers (Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target), and independent garden centers in the US and Canada. Hines' Sun Gro Horticulture subsidiary is the largest sphagnum peat moss producer in North America, selling its peat-based products and professional growing mixes to professional and retail customers.
