Some people love specific plants just because of their scent.

I love plant names that rhyme!

Foliage colors are especially good for creating interesting beds and borders.

I love coleus for their showy colorful leaves...

June is the month for weddings!

It is interesting to watch sunflowers turn their heads to follow the sun.

In the Victorian language of flowers, giving honeysuckle was a way of acknowledging a lady had a sweet disposition.

I recently saw a lovely bed in my neighborhood devoted entirely to annuals. It was full sun and composed predominantly of pink and blue flowers. At the back were tall cleome, commonly called spider plant.

Filipendula rubra produces airy rose-pink flower clusters that can be between 4-10 inches wide and rise above the plant’s deeply divided leaves presenting a regal appearance befitting its common name, Queen of the Prairie.

Digging up the root ball of an established plant completely and cutting it into sections actually benefits the plant.
