Lamb’s Ear Plant Profile

Lamb’s Ear Plant Profile

The silver-gray basal foliage of Lamb’s Ears (Stachys byzantina) spreads along the ground by rhizomes and in early summer it sends up tall wands of purple flowers. Once the flowers are done, cut them back for a tidier garden look.

It is also known as Woolly Hedgenettle and Wooly Betony. It is native to Europe/Asia.

Lamb’s Ear is in the mint family (the square stem is a clue) and that is your indication also that this is a fast spreader when given the chance.

The soft, fuzzy leaves of this plant make it a favorite for children’s gardens and sensory learning.

That fuzziness also makes it unpalatable to deer and rabbits.

It prefers full sun and a well-draining soil. It can be planted on mild slopes and along sidewalk edges. A bit of foot traffic does not bother it and it bounces back well.

Lamb’s Ear is pretty shallow-rooted making it easy to dig and divide. Remove sections in spring or fall to fill in other areas or gift it to other gardeners.

It is considered semi-evergreen as the leaves can shrivel up and die back in cold winters. Remove any spent foliage in early spring to prepare the plant for the new growing season.

Lamb’s Ear does not tolerate wet conditions for long or high humidity. It is happiest when planted where it can get good air circulation around it. Once established, it is fairly drought-tolerant.

It attracts pollinators and is often planted in butterfly gardens. Lamb’s Ear is also used in xeriscaping and for fire-wise landscapes.

Blue-Eyed Grass Plant Profile

Blue-Eyed Grass Plant Profile

Blue-Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium) is a clump-forming perennial plant with tiny violet-blue flowers. These flowers close up late in the day and open again in the morning, It is actually not a grass, despites its name and grass-like looks but is instead in the Iris family.

It is native to eastern North America and is hardy to USDA Zones 4 to 9. It grows from 8 to 12 inches tall.

It flowers in late spring and does best in full to part sun. It prefers moist or wet soils and will die if it is allowed to get too dry. Avoid applying mulch around it as that can cause crown rot.

Blue-Eyed Grass is often used as a groundcover, edging plant, or in cottage gardens. Pollinators are attracted to the flowers’ nectar and pollen. It is considered to be rabbit- and deer-resistant.

You can propagate it by digging and dividing it in the springtime. It can also self-sow if you let it. Deadhead the flowers as they finish blooming, if you do not want it to produce seeds.

California Poppy Plant Profile

California Poppy Plant Profile

California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is a wildflower. They have bright orange, yellow, white, or rose-colored  flowers that bloom in late spring. The foliage is a distinctive  blue-green with a feathery, lacey texture.

They are also known as golden poppy, California sunlight, or cup of gold. They are the official state flower of California and are native to the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. They are hardy to USDA zones 8-10.

They need a location with at least 6 hours of full, direct sun.

California Poppy prefers fast-draining, poor to average soil; avoid heavy, wet clay, which causes root rot.

Direct-sowing is best, as they dislike root disturbance. Scatter seeds on prepared soil. There is no need to cover them with soil or mulch.

In the Mid-Atlantic, we grow them as a cool-season annual. In our region, it is best to direct-sow California Poppy  seeds in late autumn for early spring growth -- or in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked.

Water them sparingly. They are drought-tolerant once established.

They generally do not need to be fertilized as too much fertilizer reduces blooms.

To encourage more flowers, remove the spent blooms, but leave a few up to self-seed for next year. 

They are generally considered to be deer-resistant due to their bitter taste and toxicity. 

California Poppies attract native bees and many other pollinators.

Azalea Plant Profile

Azalea Plant Profile

Azaleas are flowering shrubs that are members of the Rhododendron genus. They are native to North America, Asia, and Europe. Their flowers dazzle in shades of shimmering pinks and pale peaches to deep reds and pure white. Evergreen azaleas are in the subgenus Pentanthera and deciduous azaleas are in the subgenus Tsutsutsi. They are generally hardy to USDA zones 6-9, though there are a few cold-hardy varieties available as well.

You can put together collection of early-, mid-and late-season blooming varieties and have an azalea flowering in your garden for six months or more… and with the newer re-blooming varieties, the flowering season can extend practically all the way through the year.

Plant them in the fall or early spring in a part-sun location where they can attain their full size and you will never need to prune them. They do not love to be in hot afternoon sun and prefer an acidic soil, but basically they are low-maintenance and rewarding shrubs that can live over 100 years.

If you do wish to prune them, do so right after they finish flowering, so you don’t cut off next year’s buds. Remove dead or damaged branches at any time of year.

A mulch of pine bark, pine needles, or wood chips helps to keep moisture in the ground, even out changes in the soil temperature, and keep weeds out. Fertilize azaleas after their spring bloom using a slow-release, acid-loving plant food and water the fertilizer in well. 

Azaleas are easily propagated from cuttings or by layering. Species azaleas can also be grown true from seed .

Pollinators love azaleas. In particular, white-blooming kinds attract nighttime moths and red-blooming ones attract hummingbirds.

Azaleas are long cherished as symbols of spring and renewal. They are extremely popular landscape plants due to their brightly colored blooms, long-lasting flowers, and their ease of cultivation. 2026 is the Year of the Azalea and April is Azalea Month. Find out more about azaleas at the Azalea Society of America website:  https://azaleas.org/.

Azaleas – you can grow that!

2026 is the #yearoftheazalea

And #AprilisAzaleaMonth

Benjamin Y. Morrison, the famed horticulturalist who was the founder and first director of the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, DC, is noted for cross-breeding different strains of azaleas to produce the Glenn Dale cultivars, which are prevalent today throughout the eastern United States. Morrison lived in Takoma Park, MD, and many of his Glenn Dale introductions can be seen throughout the city’s private home gardens and public parks.

You don’t want to miss the seasonal display of azalea in mass plantings at the U.S. National Arboretum.

It is hardy to USDA zones 3 to 8. It is a member of the Poppy family.

Bloodroot prefers to grow in part- to full-shade in well-drained, humus-rich soils.

The seeds of the plant are dispersed by ants. The plant can also spread and form a nice groundcover under trees.

This woodland plant is a spring ephemeral – meaning that it will go dormant and disappear by mid-summer, similar to cyclamen. It is best to move or divide it just before its summer dormancy.

Bloodroot is pollinated by native bees.

It is deer-resistant due to toxic alkaloids in the leaves and roots.

Thyme Plant Profile

 

Thyme Plant Profile

Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) was previously Origanum thymus and Thymus collinus. It is classified as a small subshrub or woody perennial.

It is native to Southern Europe and is in the mint family. It is hardy to USDA zones 5 to 9.

This herb has many cultivars and forms from prostrate to vertical and the foliage can be dark green, gray-green, or  variegated with a white edge.

It is used to flavor meat dishes, soups and stews, and Thanksgiving stuffing.

The key to growing it well is good drainage and full sun. Don’t overwater it, as it is susceptible to root rot. An ideal situation is to plant it overhanging a rock wall in soil amended with aged compost and chicken grit.

It can be grown in the garden or in a container. There is no need to fertilize it. Mulch it lightly in winter.

Thyme is drought-tolerant and deer-proof. Pollinators love it. Honeybees are especially attracted to the tiny pink-purple or white flowers.

To start new plants, it is best to take cuttings as it is difficult to grow thyme from seed.

When using it in cooking, pinch off the young stems and strip the leaves. For the best taste, harvest it just before bloom time. You can take up to a third of the plant at any one time, let it recover before harvesting from it again.

Dusty Miller Plant Profile

Dusty Miller Plant Profile

Dusty Miller (Jacobaea maritima previously Senecio cineraria) is an annual or tender perennial grown for its silvery, fuzzy foliage. It occasionally flowers with yellow (or creamy white) daisy-like blossoms in clusters from spring to frost. It is also known as Silver Ragwort.

It is often confused with another Dusty Miller (Centaurea cineraria) which is also known as Silver Ragwort and Silver Dust.

Dusty Miller (Jacobaea maritima) is naïve to Northern Africa, western Asia, and Europe.

It is hardy to USDA Zones 7 to 10.

Dusty Miller prefers full sun and well-draining soils. Do not overwater it as it will cause root rot.

It is often used as a bedding plant or in mixed containers.

Depending on the cultivar, the leaves can be very fine and lacey or larger and fuller.

To propagate it, start seeds indoors 10-15 weeks before the last frost date. You can also take stem cuttings to overwinter it indoors. It is a relatively inexpensive and commonly available annual plant, so most people just purchase new plants each spring.

It is deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, and can take shady conditions as well.

Dusty Miller is low-maintenance. It does not need fertilizing. Remove any flowers to encourage fuller foliage growth.

Wallflower Plant Profile

Wallflower Plant Profile

Wallflowers (Erysium spp.) are cool-season annuals, perennials, or biennials depending on where they grow. They have low, mounding foliage and flower from late spring to early summer.

The blooms are fragrant and are dense, colorful clusters of four-petaled flowers in shades of yellow, orange, red, pink, or purple.

Wallflowers are in the Brassicaceae family with 150 different species and the garden varieties are native to Southern Europe and the Mediterranean. Several species are native to the United States, including the western wallflower (E. asperum), sanddune wallflower (E. capitatum), and shy wallflower (E. inconspicuum).  They are generally found in rocky areas, cliffs, and slopes. 

They are hardy to USDA Zones 5 to 11.

Wallflowers do best in full sun and thrive well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils.

They are drought-tolerant once established and should not be overwatered.

Wallflowers are deer- and rabbit-resistant due to their strong scent and, sometimes, bitter taste.

They are low-maintenance. Trim back flower stems after blooming to encourage further blooming or prevent self-seeding. Avoid too much fertilizer, as wallflowers are not heavy feeders, and too much fertilizer can lead to leggy growth.

Wallflowers are excellent for pollinator gardens, attracting hummingbirds, bees, butterflies, and moths.

They are ideal for covering rocky, sunny, or poor-soil areas that other plants cannot tolerate.

They are often used in containers, rock gardens, along paths, and in raised beds.

Propagate wallflowers by taking semi-ripe cuttings in early summer. They can also be grown from seed sown in summer for flowers the following spring
