Stinging nettle
If you’ve ever walked along a wooded path, you’ve probably encountered stinging nettle. This perennial weed, with bright- to dark-green leaves, can grow to 3 to 6 ft. high.
Designing with hydrangeas
Dreaming of summer? Well, bigleaf hydrangeas are a versatile group of flowering shrubs that can be used in lots of ways in the garden.
Cyclamen mite
These minute, semitransparent mites are too small for the naked eye to see. They hide in young, tender stem ends, leaves and flower buds of cyclamens (Cyclamen spp.) and many other indoor and outdoor plants.
Make your own pot feet
Designer pot feet look great but they can get expensive if you have a lot of containers.
Common buckthorn
Growing quickly to a large shrub or small tree up to 20 ft. tall, common buckthorn has sharp spines at the tips of the twigs.
Graham Thomas rose
Talk about romantic roses! The richly scented, voluptuous yellow blooms of Graham Thomas are the very definition of romance.
Spined assassin bug
Spined assassin bug may have a sinister-sounding name but it’s actually one of the good guys.
