Researching weeping form plants with pendulous growth habits, and profiling the useful hellebores.
Christmas break has been a great opportunity for me to get some work done! Not only have I been able to keep up with getting out my Christmas cards on time, but I've also done some garden research.
First, I have become absolutely intrigued by the sheer number of plants available with pendulous growth habit, from very large to very small. So rather than writing just one article about "Weeping Silhouettes in the Garden", I am actually going to be listing the top six weeping plants from each plant category, deciduous and evergreen trees, deciduous and evergreen shrubs, perennial plants and annuals. I'm really enjoying the research process for this project but if you have a particular favorite be sure to share it with me in the discussions area.
I also had a chance to finish the plant profile on one of my favorite evergreen perennials, the Christmas rose (Hellebore). An absolutely must for any garden you want to feature winter blooms in.
That's my Christmas vacation so far! How has yours been?
