It doesn't matter whether we've been naughty (Danielle) or nice (Carol) this year—we're still going ahead and adding plenty of plants to our wish lists. We're talking about trees that we've had our eyes on for months and a perennial that shines in spring, summer, and light up electric yellow in fall. Many of these plants will be new to nurseries this coming spring, while others have been around a bit longer. If you're wondering what plants the hosts of a podcast all about plants dream and drool over, tune in today. Because visions of sugarplums don't dance through our heads…but visions of coneflowers do!
