WSJ Falls for Natives

It's always exciting to see a story that you've been working on with a magazine, newspaper or blog finally come to fruition. 

We were thrilled here at GMG to have the opportunity to provide The Wall Street Journal with some wonderful Campania containers and American Beauties Native plants for a photo shoot on fall planting. And I must say, they pulled it off nicely!

As you can see from the article above, they created some interesting fall planter combinations using mainly easy-care perennials. I'm especially loving the texture and colors of the Harvest Hue container, which features one of my favorite plants -- Purple Fountain grass!

Click here to the read full article online and let me know some your favorite fall container combos!

Enjoy,

Mighty Mato and Pink Blueberry in WSJ!!!

Bart Ziegler writes about the new introductions in the plant world in his latest Wall Street Journal online article....and we are thrilled that Mighty Mato and Pink Blueberry made his list!

"Every year the plant industry, much like the car business, introduces new models. And it uses many of the same come-ons: Never-before-seen features! Dazzling new colors! More durable designs!

"As with cars, much of this is marketing hoo-hah—most of these "new" plants are really just minor variations on the old, the horticultural equivalent of new headlight shapes on the same car body. But each spring brings a few tree, shrub or flower rollouts that are worth considering. On rare occasions they represent something dramatically different."

Tough Love, Garden Style -- from The Wall Street Journal

Well, I'm back from my fabulous trip to France and returned to find 100 degree days baked the gardens in our parts.

But I must agree with Bart Ziegler of the Wall Street Journal who shares his favorite workhorses in his garden that survived the heat and lack of rain. He includes three of my favorites I have in my garden: Knock-Out roses, of course, Black Lace Sambucus and smoke bushes.

Bart says this about Knock Out Roses:

"Most roses are a mess in my part of the country, attracting bugs and diseases and eventually succumbing to a harsh winter. But there are newer varieties that perform much better.

Knock-Out roses are among the few types of roses that have done well in my yard.

One of them is the Knock-Out series (zones 5-9). They seem to avoid most common rose ailments such as black spot and mildew. Japanese beetles, which recently made their dreaded annual appearance at my house, do attack their buds, but unlike with most other roses they won't eat the leaves.
