June is National Perennial Gardening month and an appropriate time to extol the virtues of these repeating blooming beauties.

I like to think of all the green in our gardens as a ‘little black dress’; it is classic and never goes out of style. You can use that black dress as a background palette, dolling it up each year with accessories featuring whatever is the hot fashion color that year.

The manicured lawns and the gorgeous plantings around the grounds at Wimbledon serve as a unique garden style inspiration.

For most parts of the US and Canada, your gardens are put to bed for the winter.  The ground is quite cold; in fact, too frozen to plant anything and/or it is also snow covered. You have read every garden book, magazine and started following a slew of new garden blogs. Even your garden catalogs are in order. So what do you do?  Winter Gardening of course!

When spring rolls around, get your yard ready to be bold with these hot pinks: annuals, perennials and shrubs.

Many plants are introduced every year, but how many really make the must-have list for gardeners around the country? These varieties below are sure to make it into gardens this coming spring and will have folks on the lookout to snatch them up. Don’t miss out!
