Had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Blake of Athens Orchard. The orchard produces uncommon fruits like pawpaw, jujube, pineapple guava, persimmon, specialty figs, and more. Is your mouth watering yet?…We learned a ton, including how to graft pawpaw. Nerding out with a fellow plant enthusiast is always the best way to spend an afternoon.

‘Spotty Dotty’ mayapple definitely has some unique foliage, but the silky red flowers are just as intriguing!

You might be familiar with the popular verbena ‘Homestead Purple’. Well this is the straight species and it deserves a place in your garden just as much, if not more! It’s a wonderful North American native with fragrant flowers, reminding us of bubblegum mixed with cloves. Though it grows low to the ground, there’s no need to get down to smell the flowers!

White wood aster is an easy to grow plant that brightens up woodland gardens with its starry white flowers. This east coast native is highly adaptable, thriving in moist to dry soils with mixed sun and shade. It slowly spreads to form an airy groundcover, making it a great addition to native gardens and shady borders.

We like plants that are found in our region, including this selection of Phlox paniculata called ‘Jeana’. It was found growing along the Harpeth River near Nashville, TN and trialed by . In those trials it was found to have good powdery mildew resistance and so far that has held true in our garden.

Hummingbird plant is a woody perennial native to Uruguay. We love the velvety foliage and the bright orange flowers that continue to bloom all summer. Though it prefers warmer climates, it can be treated as an annual in colder regions. It grows great in containers and doesn’t require much water! Did I mention hummingbirds love it?

Went to the Juniper Level Botanic Garden yesterday and witnessed the most jaw-dropping plant in flower: Puya coerulea var. violacea

Do you see those green spikes sticking out? Those are perches for birds to enjoy the flower nectar. This is the plant’s genius way of ensuring pollination 🤯🦜

Puya is native to South America. It is a terrestrial bromeliad, related to pineapples and Spanish moss.

It’s definitely on our plant wish list now!
