Webinar: Plant Switcheroos for More Beautiful, Hardy Flower Gardens
Saturday, February 21
11 am–12 pm
This eye-opening presentation will take the guesswork out of which perennials and flowering shrubs are the best choices, especially for more challenging growing conditions. You simply cannot tell if a plant is a great performer year after year by looking at a pretty picture or attractively maintained inventory at garden centers. For over 30 years, Kerry has trialed hundreds of plants. She’s excited to share her results, as well as those of other reliable plant trials. Some of the “winners” may surprise you! Plus, she’ll feature outstanding alternatives to commonly grown plants that are heavy re-seeders, short-lived, aggressive spreaders, or disease or insect prone; native plants to replace exotics; and more. This program is best suited for gardeners in hardiness Zones 3-8.
Kerry will show you:
-Long-blooming, pollinator-friendly perennials requiring no deadheading, unlike many commonly sold varieties
-Outstanding alternatives to favorite perennials that are short-lived, disease-prone, rapid-spreading, aggressive re-seeders, or stake-requiring
-No-prune or rarely pruned glamorous flowering shrubs
-Fantastic stalwarts for dry shade
-Replacing exotic plants with natives that have similar-looking flowers
and much more!
