Here's a great plant for our customers further north. We've always loved lily-of-the-valley, especially the variegated forms, but they are painfully slow in our southeast heat and wimpy winters. We are delighted to finally be able to share one of our favorites, the yellow-edged Convallaria 'Hardwick Hall'. Named after the famed English garden, Convallaria 'Hardwick Hall' is a vigorous clone with 9" tall, glaucous leaves edged with a dramatic golden border. In spring, the deer-resistant patches are adorned with fragrant white flowers...a superb deciduous groundcover for a wide range of soil conditions.

Lear's, Glaucous & Hyacinth macaws have different sizes, colors, behavior, and endangerment statuses. Among all, hyacinths are the greatest.

I bet many of you are thinking ‘what the heck is glaucous, anyway? Here’s a fun-fact from Wikipedia: the first recorded use of glaucous as the name of a color was in the year 1671.So, while this word has been around for hundreds of years, it still eludes many gardeners.

(aka: Dysosma pleiantha) Stunning is the only word to describe a mature specimen of the giant Chinese mayapple, Podophyllum pleianthum. Picture our native mayapple, Podophyllum peltatum, on 2' tall glaucous stems, lessen the indentation of each 13" wide leaf...oh yes, and make the plant a clumper, not a runner. This deer-resistant, tropical-looking Podophyllum pleianthum also doesn't go dormant until fall, unlike our native species. In early May, the clusters of red bell-shaped flowers (pleianthum = pleios "many" and anthemon "a flower") are held on very hairy pedicels (flower stalks) between the two lobed leaves (hexagonal when young). Podophyllum pleianthum prefers moist organic soils and good shade for best performance. In severe heat, it may experience a short summer dormant period.

Tamarix ramosissima is a plant like lantana or impatiens, which can be great or problematic depending on where it is grown. In our NC climate, it is a phenomenal garden performer, thriving in both dry and moist soils. The 12' tall woody stems are adorned with glaucous juniper-like foliage and topped from May until frost with stunning open plumes of light pink flowers...a great source of honeybee nectar. In desert climates, Tamarix ramosissima should not be planted since it gets carried away by vigorously reseeding near waterways and riparian areas...even in saltwater. Perhaps planting millions of these in the Southwest during the Federal WPA projects of the 1930s wasn't such a great idea. We, however, have grown this for 2 decades and have never seen a seedling.

Exotic-looking, but easy to grow from seed. This attractive Cerinthe is probably quite unlike any other flower you may have in your garden, with its glaucous foliage, deep blue bracts and rich purple-blue flowers, which are high in nectar and therefore very attractive to bees. Very easy to grow from seed and a stunning plant. Despite its unusual and rather exotic appearance, it is actually easy to grow. Cerinthe is a hardy annual, which flowers the same year as sowing. It is undemanding and will thrive in most soils in full sun. The name Cerinthe is from the Greek keros (wax) and anthos (flower), as bees were thought to extract wax from the flowers. Height: 60cm(24in) Plant Class: Hardy Annual (HA). Habit: Medium. Cerinthe major purpurascens Seeds 15 seeds Code: 12844 Sow indoors, February-April. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow individually, 0.5cm (?) deep, in pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20?C (60-68?F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out in May, 30cm (1') apart, into well-drained soil, when frosts are over. Flowers: May-October."

Agave 'Tiffany' rarely offsets, even under coercion, so it's taken us 17 years for a first offering.

Making movies in London one minute; growing grapes and welcoming guests to a rural garden the next. Life is full of surprises. Words: Kate Coughlan Photos: Kate Macpherson A worried Wendy Palmer stood on the deck of her restored Victorian villa, just north of Blenheim, staring across a sheep paddock onto row upon row of sauvignon blanc grapes. The vines — in ramrod-straight lines that seemed to stretch to Marlborough’s Richmond Ranges way in the hazy distance — were the cause of her concern. In her previous life in London as chief executive of the United Artists (a division of

Numerous types of cabbages were planted in Thomas Jefferson's gardens throughout his lifetime, including French, Milan, Savoy, Ox-heart, Roman, Scotch, Sugarloaf, York, and Winter. Early Jersey Wakefield forms a compact, somewhat conical head up to 15" long and 7" wide with glaucous-green leaves. First grown in New Jersey in 1840, it is a fine early-heading variety with a sweet flavor and was popular in 19th-century markets.Sow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Move to cell-packs once they have several true leaves. Harden off and transplant just before the last frost date to well-drained, fertile soil. Good frost resistance. Approximately 80-85 seeds per packet.
