Diervilla – No Codling Required
I have long concluded that plants requiring little to no attention are often overlooked in favor of those dependent upon endless hours of care and codling. The first time I was introduced to Northern Bush Honeysuckle, botanically known as Diervilla lonicera, was around 1990.

With the chills of late March and the adequate April showers behind us, early May looks to provide a very nice assortment of spring blooming plants. Although rather chilly for those looking forward to those summer days of 90 degrees, the cool weather will allow spring blooms to last and to be enjoyed to their fullest!

Solomon’s Seal – ‘Knee Deep’ in Garden Worth Forms
As a gardener, I am always searching for interesting, low growing plants to incorporate into designs. A garden will have more depth and visual interest if the lower levels, typically home to herbaceous plants, do not all mature to the same height. Rather, it is best if there is a variety, ranging from of ground hugging forms to those near knee height.

Athough COVID has finally become less impactful in the lives of most, the act of getting out into your Garden continues to be a great option whether we continue to work at home or not. Many of us have come to appreciate the beauty of plants and the act of working in the soil and seeing things grow is very calming…

Nothing Substandard about this Subshrub
When the topic of groundcovers is breeched, there are certain plants that inexorably come to mind. These are the plants that were used time and time again until they rose – or should I say sank – to the point of monotony, resulting in a search by gardeners for more interesting options.
