They’re tough, they’re hardy, they thrive in almost any location. So why don’t we love them? Give this episode a listen to hear about why—despite the many good attributes of these plants—we just can’t bring ourselves to draw a heart around them. It’s easy to ask gardeners what plants they hate—we all have long lists of inferior perennials, trees, and shrubs that are weak or have unruly habits that make them deserving of our ire. But what about those plants that haven’t done any...

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 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...

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.

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.

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...

I don’t know about you, but plant propagation has always felt like a mystery to me. There are so many ways to propagate, and each plant has different wants and needs. It could take a lifetime to discover all of the ins and outs of propagating, but over the years nature, accidents, and unitdy mulching have taught me a few things about propagating in my own garden. I’m happy to share some plant propagation shortcuts I’ve discovered. Seed-producing bulbs, such as snowdrops, are easy to propag...
