I’m really excited about next month’s Webinar featuring stunning flowering vines and how to use them creatively in the landscape. I’ve been adding many new varieties that are also ideal for containers. The live broadcast is Thursday, July 27 at 2:00 p.m. EST.

Medinilla magnifica handout Merrifield Garden Center Medinilla magnifica. I’ve seen this striking, unusual looking plant twice in the past month while on my lecture circuit.

I have only seen them available in red. Like other peonies, they do not bloom long, but after the flowers gracefully bow out,…

As I mentioned earlier, not only has my schedule been insanely busy, but spring has also been very slow to arrive in Kennebunk, Maine. Even though it was cold (in the 40’s) and…

The symposium is on Friday, October…
