- Rose Home Run - Son of Knockout Roses
Bred from Knockout roses, Home Run rose is extremely disease resistant and in my mind one of the best new red roses for the garden, should you be comfortable with single roses (which hopefully you will be). Knockout roses, both the original and offspring such as Pink Knockout roses, ...
Tue, 12 Jun 2007 10:05:16 +0000 - Blue Ridge Blog - and I kid you not…an outhouse and a dream (and one of the best bird photographs ever)
Marie Freeman, the author of Blue Ridge Blog, wins my eternal respect just for combining the words outhouse and dream in one cohesive haikuesque moment. She says she's not that deep, which is what all southerners say to lull everyone else into a false sense of security. I am ...
Mon, 11 Jun 2007 20:28:41 +0000 - Red Hot Poker a.k.a. Torch Lily
Red Hot Poker, Kniphofia uvaria, also known as Torch Lily, is a perennial whose flowers can truly be deemed original. Red Hot Poker bears orange and yellow blooms on spikes that soar into the air to five feet...or in the case of the Red Hot Poker pictured at ...

Oh man. Elizabeth Licata at Gardening While Intoxicated posed a question in her blog asking readers to name their least favorite plant (to participate, head over to Gardening While Intoxicated and chime in...). Anyway, while I can't understand how anyone could hate purple coneflower so passionately (as Elizabeth ...
Mon, 11 Jun 2007 12:50:59 +0000 - Pampas Grass - Never (Ever) Grow This Plant
The subject of our latest evisceration in the plant world, Pampas Grass, Cortaderia selloana, is, admittedly, like shooting fish in a barrel. I want to emphasize that any cowboys from Argentina (gauchos) that want to grow Pampas Grass to remind them of home are fully exempt from my comments ...
Mon, 11 Jun 2007 11:45:29 +0000 - State Botanical Garden of Georgia
The State Botanical Garden of Georgia is located in Athens. Described as a 'living laboratory' of the University of Georgia, on whose grounds the State Botanical Garden of Georgia is located, it is a superb environment for gardeners, children, and a wide array of plant communities. What I love ...
Mon, 11 Jun 2007 10:08:30 +0000 - Siberian Iris and (so much) more - A Gardening Year
I was looking around for information about Siberian Iris and came upon A Gardening Year. Well...I (finally) learned the bloom sequence of Iris (Bearded > Japanese > Siberian), and then proceeded to take a gander around A Gardening Year. Well-written with plenty of photographs, the style gives one ...
Sun, 10 Jun 2007 15:11:42 +0000 - Climbing Rose Pearly Gates
Rose Pearly Gates is a climbing rose that is suitable for training as a pillar or on a trellis...or better yet my favorite method which is sprawling along a (preferably old) fence. By the way, with all climbing roses get those canes horizontal in order to encourage lateral buds and ...
Sat, 09 Jun 2007 22:29:49 +0000 - Spiderwort a.k.a Cow Slobber (Tradescantia) - Never (Ever) Grow This Plant
It may seem heartless to pick on Spiderwort, but there is an illustrative point that follows.... A perennial's value (or any plant's value for that matter) increases exponentially if it has attractive foliage or character when not in flower (See Oakleaf Hydrangea for truly noble character). If we consider ...
Sat, 09 Jun 2007 14:57:51 +0000 - Eureka Rose
Rose Eureka is a butter yellow-apricot, and fairly typical of old school Floribunda roses; i.e. Eureka is a shortish bushy fellow that shoots out sprays of three to five roses in sprightly manner. Frankly, it's hard for me to get too excited about most Floribundas, as they often look like ...
