Lupinse, with their colorful spikes, are some of the most popular garden perennials of them all! Lupinus includes hundreds of species, many native to North America. You will see them both in the wild and in gardens – from California to Maine.

Growing 1 to 4 feet tall, the leaves of the lupine are gray-green with silvery hairs and the flowers resemble pea flowers. The seed pod looks like a hairy pea pod and…

The best time to sow desert rose seeds is in the spring. Get a well-draining potting mix with perlite or use a sand and soil mix. You can pre-soak the seeds for several hours or up to a day to rehydrate them, then place one seed every two inches on the growing medium. Cover lightly with a thin layer of soil mixture. Water well and store the plants in a warm place. Only water the soil when it starts to dry out. You can also mist the soil or water the container from below, but don’t let the soil become…

Few bulbs are easier to grow than amaryllis – and few bloom with greater profusion and beauty. Just plant the bulbs in good potting soil, water regularly and provide bright, indirect light.

Hellebores are easy to grow and are undemanding. They look great from January to May – even when their seed has set, their sepals are always pretty and eventually turn green. Their foliage is bold and evergreen, and in some of the new hybrids the marbled leaves are as celebrated as the flowers. Hellebores are typically woodland edge plants. They thrive in rich, moisture-retaining soil but struggle in boggy and wet conditions. Most will tolerate full sun to almost full shade. They lend themselves to naturalistic schemes and informal plantings and are perfect partners for early flowering spring bulbs, pulmonarias…

Winter plants need water, so don’t forget to give them a good drink once a week or so, especially if it hasn’t rained. Rubber plantPansies are hardy and bloom all winter.

The common foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, is a common wild plant that grows in forests and hedgerows. It is easy to spot with its large, purple-pink spikes of trumpet flowers in summer. It is also an excellent garden plant, especially for shady locations. But Digitalis purpurea is not the only foxglove. There are plenty of other species growing to a range of heights and with flowers in a wide range of colours, many beautifully spotted and speckled in contrasting colours. The flowers are very rich in nectar and are like magnets for bees and butterflies. Most foxgloves are biennials, blooming in…
