Light Requirements
- Some Like It Hot!
- There are very few plants that thrive in low light conditions. Who among us hasn’t accidentally killed a garden or houseplant by putting it in a too dark or shady place?
- Is it a Sun Plant or a Shade Plant?
- For some time I assumed it would take a botanist to be able to figure out whether a particular plant would be happiest in sun or in shade. Of course, now I know it is usually much simpler than that.
- The Low-Down on Groundcovers
- Groundcovers are the workhorses of the garden. They can form a beautiful living mulch beneath trees, shrubs, and perennials; they can anchor soil on a slope, and some of them are so lovely they can be used as specimens or focal points in garden beds and borders.
- Making a Garden in the Woods
- Woodland gardens are beautiful in every season. Snowdrops, daffodils and other early bloomers give way to lush green ferns and hosta, followed by toadlilies and hardy cyclamen.
