We are pleased to share another outstanding selection from our epimedium introduction program for 2018. Epimedium ‘Peachie‘ is not only a color break, but is also incredibly floriferous. If you have a woodland garden, we think you’ll enjoy this as much as we do. Hardiness is Zone 5a-8b, at least.

It’s pretty rare for a woody plant to make our on-line catalog, so if you see one, you should assume it’s something special. Such is the case with Ligustrum ‘Little Moon’. We picked this up from Alabama plantsman Bobby Green on a trip back in 2011, and planted it immediately upon our return. After seeing

After years of breeders trying to shrink all perennials down to toy train size, there are signs that the trend is finally reversing. One of the best examples for 2018 is Heuchera ‘Lemon Love’ from our friend Hans Hansen at Walters Garden. Imagine a coral bells that grows in excess of 4′ wide!!! Maturing at

Well, back in 2003, we were botanizing in Liberty County, Florida…just west of Tallahassee, when we ran across this grass growing in a sandy roadside

For our open nursery and garden days, we’ve lined up several of our favorite food trucks, so we don’t have folks falling out in the garden from hunger pains. Being an ice cream junkie, I think the all natural local ice cream from Fresh is probably the best I’ve had anywhere in the world. We
As we approach our first open garden and nursery day of the 2018, we wanted to share some Helleborus x hybridus photos we took in the garden this week…even though you’ll see them when you visit. These are all our own seedlings raised here. In addition to all the named varieties we offer, we’ll have

We’re members of many plant groups, and each are quite wonderful. One of the groups of which we’ve been member the longest is the North American Rock Garden Society. We’re blessed not only with a great national organization, but also with a superb local chapter. We were thrilled to host the groups’ National Meeting last

Just back from speaking at the wonderful Davidson County Garden Symposium, held in the NC metropolis of Welcome. It’s always an honor to share the stage with on of my idols, the 78 year young topiary artist, Pearl Fryar. In addition to being an incredible topiary artist, Pearl is truly one of the great inspirational
