| Pick a color, any color! |
So many perennials are in bud and bloom right now that it makes it a great time to design a summer perennial or cutting garden. From the deep violet- purple Phlox 'Nicky' to the vibrant blue of Delphinium 'New Millenium Super Star' - you may even find it overwhelming!
Need help with that? Ask your sales person or check out Tom Fischer's book Perennial Companions for more ideas the next time you're in!
| Ferns for American Gardens by J. Mickel |
Speaking of ideas, we have just restocked our shelves and have a few new books you should take a look at. Ferns for American Gardens by John T. Mickel is one of them. Written by the curator of the ferns at the New York Botanical Gardens, it is an excellent reference source. Great beach reading, seriously! Stop in and check them all out!
Hope to see you soon!
