The original title of this episode was, Big and Bold Plants for the Back of the Border. But between the length and the tongue-twister alliteration, we shorted it a bit for promotional purposes. However, on today’s program you’ll hear all about plants that really stand out in the last row of the garden choir. These perennials and shrubs are tall, yes. But they have so much more going for them than simply their towering presence. The featured plants offer a grounding and bold backdrop for your...

As we gladly came to the end of a wild and wet winter, I was excited to see some of the best of the weird shade-loving plants coming up. The crazy thing about these plants is that they grow perfectly in our wet world. Most of these could never survive in the dry climates of California and Arizona, in the bitter cold of the Midwest and New England, or in the heat of the South. The moist, acidic soil shaded by towering evergreens and leafy vine maples (Acer circinatum and cvs., Zones 6–9) of the...

Having grown up in New England, and living there now, I consider myself pretty spoiled in fall. After all, tourists literally flock to my section of North America every autumn to take in the sight of the native forests turning brilliant colors. We even have a term for these folks: leaf peepers. As I write this, I’m looking out my window at a sassafras (Sassafras albidum, Zones 4–9) that looks like someone lit it on fire. The orange, yellow, and red foliage glows so brightly that at certain t...

They’re creepy and they’re kooky. Mysterious and spooky. They’re all together ooky. Nope, it’s not the Adam’s Family, it’s the array of wicked plants on today’s episode. It’s Halloween season so we’ll be talking about an assortment of plants that are spiky, darkly pigmented, stinky, or perhaps even the most wicked of all: invasive. But don’t think every perennial or tree on this episode is unworthy of a spot in your garden, some are actually quite lovely landscape specimens. ...

The formula for creating wonderful containers doesn’t need to be difficult. First, find complementary plants you like that fit your growing conditions. Next, think of each plant’s growing habit and combine contrasting habits together. There’s a reason people say that great containers have thrillers, fillers, and spillers, or upright plants, midsize plants, and cascading plants. This combination always works. Need proof? Check out this set of simple container designs that uses only three pl...

No matter the size or location of your garden, you are likely to be planting in more than one type of environment. Under the canopy of trees, along foundations, under eaves, in the narrow side yards between buildings, and other tricky areas can have dry shade conditions. I have more than a few of those spots in my yard and have found the following plants to perform quite well there. Bugleweed is a spreader beloved for its colorful foliage and wandlike flowers ‘Bronze Beauty’ bugleweed (left)...

If you garden in a low-wind situation, your tall plants probably won’t need staking. However, my big, bold garden is out in the open prairie, so staking is often a necessity. Here are some of the things I’ve learned from experience. See our favorite picks for big, bold plants. Go big from the start There’s nothing more frustrating than having the wind take down a newly staked plant. Go bigger than you first think, and try to anticipate the final size that will be needed.

We know plastic waste is a massive environmental issue. From overflowing landfills, incinerators polluting the air, to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch polluting the ocean, plastic has become a ubiquitous presence in modern society. The waste product from plastic is a horrible post-consumer stain on the planet. But there’s more to the story. It may even be worse than the garbage and pollution we see. Most people associate plastic production with petroleum. What you may not know is that most of ...
