Seasonal Celebrities: Summer Plants for Your North Carolina Garden

In this online presentation with landscape architect and artist Preston Montague, learn about a group of landscape plants that add beauty, texture, color and flowers to your garden. We'll begin with a general horticulture discussion and then introduce a selection of trees, shrubs and perennials, noting their native region, culture, care, design attributes and history with people. The plant list this week includes bottlebrush buckeye, Aesculus parviflora; goatsbeard, Aruncus dioiscus; butterfly plant, Asclepia tuberosa; coralbells, Heuchera cultivars; wild ginger, Hexastylis ssp.; blazing star, Liatris spicata; spirea, S. bumalda and S. thunbergii; and American wisteria, Wisteria frutescens
