A Pox on Your Flowers

Impatiens, a favorite of home gardeners, is under siege in the United States and Canada.

“Consider the collapse of your favorite annual as an invitation to adventure. Native perennials, for example, might cost a bit more, but they don’t have to be planted each year and they attract pollinators.”

Expand your horticultural horizons and explore interesting new plants!  Yet another call for biodiversity.
