Focus on Flowers

Shade gardens are usually at their best in the spring, but filtered shade gardens can provide summer color, too.

"Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble." This hour on Harmonia, we’ll catch a fright listening to scary sounds for Halloween.

Conifer shrubs and trees need warmer soil to get their roots growing, so plant them as early as possible in the fall.

There are only a few perennials that thrive for many years without being divided and replanted.

Fall is the time to bring indoors all of those houseplants that have been spending the summer outside. I usually also dig up a few annual geraniums that I have had in my beds all summer.

By the end of the 1800s, most types of chrysanthemums had arrived in America.

The name chrysanthemum is from the Greek word for gold “chrysos” and “anthos,” which means flower.

Plants that can tolerate boggy, wet soil exist!

It is easy to get a renewed sense of enthusiasm for gardening when the hottest weather has passed.
