Years ago, when the Perennial Plant Association named Baptisia australis (aso known as wild false indigo) their plant of the year (in 2010), I promptly bought five and planted them in my garden. They were new-to-me at the time and they were lauded for being low maintenance and long lived. Perfect. Then, the next spring, I accidentally weeded out every single one […]

Sedge lawns are a smart environmental alternative to traditional lawns.  While traditional lawns are resource intensive (i.e., mowing, fertilizing, and watering above rainfall levels are typically required), sedge lawns are often less taxing. Undergoing a lawn conversion from turf grass to a native meadow grass, like sedges, will increase biodiversity, help the native ecosystem, and […]

Red twig dogwood (scientifically known as Cornus sericea) is a stunning deciduous and North American native shrub that can add a burst of color to any landscape.

Commonly known as Lamb’s Ear, this group of perennials offers not only a tactile treat for your garden but a wide range of unique varieties, each with its own charm.  As a kid – […]

Whenever anyone asks what is my favorite plant, of course, I can never answer. I usually have at least 3 or 4 plants that are my favorite on any given day. This could include the first plant I come across in the garden and the ones I read about at night.  If push came to […]

I’ve been flirting with Amsonia for years. I can’t remember where we were the first time it caught my eye. It might have been a moment in a book or a magazine, but those ethereal mounds of yellow needle-like leaves with a texture like no other were definitely giving me the ‘come hither’ look.  I […]
