Looks what’s flowering in the gardens today…our PDN intro, the giant flowering Asarum ‘King Kong’…no bending over needed to see this well-endowed ginger. We should have enough stock to offer this again in 2019.

Here’s a fun combination from the gardens yesterday…Trillium maculatum and Vinca ‘Illumination’. It’s a love it or hate it combination, but you sure can’t miss it.

We picked this up from Alabama plantsman Bobby Green on a trip back in 2011, and planted it immediately upon our return. After seeing
