Fresh Houseplants
from Florida
have arrived at our Chantilly nursery!
 

Fiddle-Leaf Figs
The Fiddle-leaf Fig, or Ficus lyrata for us nursery folk, is a houseplant that has risen in popularity over the last few years. It’s tree-like form, sculptural habit, and large, waxy, violin-shaped leaves have made it a popular houseplant for indoor gardeners and a trendy topic for design blogs and articles. Despite the high praise, Fiddle-leaf Figs can be a bit temperamental for the uninitiated. However, it’s not as hard to care for them as you think. Just follow the guidelines listed below, and you can enjoy the beauty of a Fiddle-leaf Fig without the downsides.  Learn more about Fiddle-leaf Figs

Bonnie's Garden
There’s not a lot to look at outside this time of year.  Maybe that’s why I enjoy watching the birds. Of course, the best way to attract birds is with bird-feeders.  And I like knowing that it helps the birds, too.  A study conducted during a Wisconsin winter showing that black-capped chickadees with access to human-supplied bird seed had a winter survival rate almost double that of chickadees without access.  Because there aren’t many insects available over the winter, most of the birds that winter here are seed eaters.  Some seeds are better than others, however.  Seeds and nuts with a higher fat content are best for winter feeding—black oil sunflower seeds and even peanuts  Read more from Bonnie

Hellebores
A Cure for the Winter Blues
Talking Gardening with Doug
Adding color to the landscape can be challenging at this time of the year. Yes, pansies and violas will keep blooming all winter long. If you haven’t planted pansies or violas up to this point, you can still plant and enjoy seeing them in bloom. We still have a decent selection of pansies for you to choose from outside our nursery.  But, what else will flower you may ask?  Consider planting Hellebores. This evergreen, hardy, shade-loving perennial is just getting “warmed up” in the garden. My hellebores are just beginning to bloom in the landscape. And, the cold snap and snow this past week has had no effect on this plant. Learn more about hellebores
