A very low-growing evergreen penstemon. Requires hardly any care at all. This plant is in mostly shade (gets less than 3 hours sun a day).

A 57-day variety with straight, round, 6-inch pods, introduced by Pure Line Seeds. Slow to develop beans, which means a longer harvest window. More vigorous than most under cool soil and air conditions. Does well here as a first planting.

A 2005 cultivar that Bob Hornback received from the late Ed Carman, the legendary nurseryman who owned Carman's Nursery in Los Gatos, CA. This unnamed plant was brought back from New Zealand by Ed and he eventually gave Bob Hornback permission to name it after him.

I find the life cycle way too short! Beautiful, but stinky!

This is an introduced perennial, native to Europe and Asia. Considered a noxious weed in several states.
I have this plant in my garden and find this classic daisy a good bloomer that provides almost endless cut flowers for a small arrangement.
It blooms earlier than all the other garden daisies.
The almost lacy leaves leave air and visibility for the other perennials nearby. (Not a space hog.)

This plant's bloom has a very strong sweet fragrance.
It is used in herbal medicine. The root is often made into a tea that serves as a sleep aid.
Spreads by underground runners, but is easy to keep in check.
Worth growing in the garden if only for the wonderful scent.

purchased this small thrift this year for a miniature garden. The pink flowers are best if dead headed and you will get blooms on and off all year.
This plant is also an excellent choice for alpine gardens.

sorry to report this plant did not make it through this years extreme winter , it was in a pot so may have survived if I had it in ground.

While this plant is listed as a medicinal herb It is considered by most farmers as a very pesky weed. Burdock in a pasture cause much trouble. The plant is large and takes up valuable grazing space, the burr ingested by animals causes choking, and sticks to any fur or hair.

Native to Europe and Northern Asia.
It is the large tap root that is mostly used in herbal medicine.

Cutting the plant out with a sharp spade and then sprinkling the remaining tap root with a bit of salt will keep it from growing back

An inexpensive little bulb that gives a good early spring show and multiplies with time.
Benefits from soaking the tubers over night before planting
They make a nice spring border and are equally good under taller bulbs.
I have them planted under my dogwood tree.

Planted two months ago and already blooming. This plant has five scapes, so there should be a good bloom time for a brand new plant. The color of the flower is darker than my photo shows.
