  • Daffodils in miniature
    Like the 'King Alfred', miniature daffodils bring excitement to a late winter garden, but their diminutive size makes them ideal for first-of-the-season planters.
  • Peony Impossible
    Tom Cruise and the Mission Impossible team had nothing to do with the breeding of intersectional peonies, but the researchers who accomplished the feat were as amazing in their work as any Hollywood action hero.
  • Temptation and cultivation
    The future of intersectional peonies includes one in your garden.
  • Hydrangea, the summer show-stopper
    If you have the right site and plentiful water, you should have one.
  • The color conundrum
    Understand why hydrangeas can be forced to change colors--and why they can't.
  • Catch the travel bug(s)
    If you don't, the invasive little critters will bedevil gardeners forever.
  • Hardshell gourds
    Easy to grow, fun to decorate, and surprisingly useful: what's not to like?
