We grow and ship a lot of Hostas here at Walters Gardens, and we've been doing it for over half a century. Some greenhouse and growing practices have changed, while others have stayed the same. Join Laura, our Trials Grower, as she talks about some of our experiences and recommendations for getting the best crop at retail!
Penstemon 'Midnight Masquerade' Culture and Production Tips
Penstemon 'Midnight Masquerade' can pretty much do it all in the landscape. A hybrid native perennial, this variety holds up to heat and drought thanks to its prairie roots. Learn how to grow this plant with a few helpful hints from our Trials Manager, Laura Robles.
Allium (Ornamental Onion) is one of the easiest perennials to grow and keep in the landscape. This genus is among the very best for attracting pollinators and resisting browsing animals. Join Laura for an overview and some tips to growing high quality retail containers.
Mangave is a relatively new phenomenon, as a cross between the genus Manfreda and Agave. These rare hybrids combine the best of both worlds: the better growth rate and the interesting patterns of Manfreda, and the habit and refinement of Agave. Join Laura, our trials manager, to learn some Mangave production tips.
Join Laura as she goes over Helleborus culture and production. Helleborus are amazing plants with a long season of spring bloom and evergreen foliage. Unfortunately, they are notoriously temperamental in production, frustrating many growers. These troublesome young plants grow up to be pretty hardy, low maintenance, and long-lived perennial.
