Seasonal Celebrities: Spring Plants for Your North Carolina Garden

Spring flowers in the Gardens
Saturday, June 12, 2021
10:00 am - 11:00 am

In this online presentation by Jan Little, director of education and public programs at Duke Gardens, we will discuss a group of landscape plants that add beauty, texture, color and flowers to your garden. The program begins with a general horticulture discussion and then introduces a selection of trees, shrubs and perennials, noting their native region, culture, care, design attributes and history with people. Topics for this week include bottlebrush buckeye (Aesculus parviflora), giant hyssops (Agastache species), goat's beard (Aruncus dioicus), butterfly weed (Asclepia tuberosa), false goat's beard (Astilbe species), dense blazing star (Liatris spicata), spiraea (Spirea bumalda / Spirea thunbergii), and American wisteria (Wisteria frutescens).
