This has been a breakout year when it comes to my prized, golden needle conifers by the name of Fluffy. Don’t get me wrong, I have loved them from the start, but they were trial-sized in the beginning, which was 5 years ago. So proper spacing meant they would look a little lonely for a while. kAm%9:D J62C E96 A2CE?6CD9:AD H:E9 2K2=62D H6C6 6G6CJE9:?8 x 925 9@A65 7@C] %96C6 :D ?@E9:?8 =:<6 8@=56? 492CEC6FD6 2D 2 4@>3:?2E:@?

It is May and The Garden Guy is here to tell you that your garden really needs more snow for the long growing season ahead. I’m talking about one of the best flowers you can add to the design of your mixed containers. That would be Snow Princess sweet alyssum, a Lobularia hybrid. Snow Princess and I go way back to April 2009. That was the year it had its coming out party at the Proven Winners location in Bonsall, California. The event was the California Pack Trials.

Once all of the polar vortices run their course, I assure you our gardens have the possibility of becoming like a beautiful Fairytrail this year. Some of you no doubt think I just misspelled fairy tale (Microsoft Word does). I am talking about a hot new series of hydrangeas. Those of you in the know may have just gone on alert when I said series, as in more than one. Last year Fairytrail Bride Cascade hydrangea made its debut in the Proven Winners lineup. Most of us who grew it did so with amazement.

The Unplugged group of salvias is doubling in size this year with the addition of Unplugged Red and the new passion of my heart, Unplugged White. I wrote about the group a few months ago but Unplugged White deserves its own column now. I’ve explained before that I am new to white. I know that sounds crazy coming from a guy who will try every color and shade of orange like its my career. Son James became a white expert and thankfully so, largely because of female clients in the grandma age group.

The last few weeks, I have been showing my followers on Facebook their favorite flowers used in combinations. Last week someone requested that I post combinations with hostas. Now, the hosta pros would probably choose a different hosta as a partner. While that works, I’ve been on a 6-year adventure trying special partnerships. I get more excited as the years go by. kAmx 8C6H FA :? (6DE %6I2D[ Q%96 q:8 r@F?ECJ]Q (:E9 ?@ 9@DE2D D66?

This has been a breakout year when it comes to my prized, golden needle conifers by the name of Fluffy. Don't get me wrong, I have loved them from the start, but they were trial-sized in the beginning, which was 5 years ago. So proper spacing meant they would look a little lonely for a while. This year the partnerships with azaleas were everything I had hoped for. There is nothing like golden chartreuse as a combination with flaming red azaleas. Shoot, pink ones look great too.
