In fact, for most of my life I thought that shrubs were non-flowering plants, that the majority of vegetables grew on small trees, and that succulent was a dirty word.
And seeing as how this spring I wanna grow stuff in the ground, I am so happy to discover an awesome gardener's tool over at Better Homes & Gardens. They have a Plant Encyclopedia!
It's a groovy little tool to make you into an elite green-thumber, tree-hugger and gardening-guru.
All you gotta do is type in your specific requirements of what you are looking for and BHG spits out the options to meet your needs. Check it out - all I did was type in perennials in my zone that grew in partial sun and under 3 feet tall:
And that is only the first 2 pages of options! Plus they give you additional planting information for each plant so gardening has never been this easy! So go on - play in the dirt again...
What a great find! I was actually looking through gardening magazines last night wondering what the heck I'm going to do. Thanks for the site!
ReplyDeleteI am SO gonna use this. My thumb is brown, and not just cuz I'm brown but because I kill all plants! This will help me, thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is really cool. I'll have to use that so I can add some more variety to my flower garden. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteWe've got a huge backyard to landscape this summer - thanks so much for the tip.
