Kerry's Tips of the Week

Pardon Me, Sedum 'Autumn Joy'

The demand for low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plants that provide three (if not four seasons!) of interest has generated a surge of new Sedum cultivars that are taking center stage in gardens.

Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is probably the most well-known Sedum, BUT its "king of the hill" status is about to be toppled. Read on to discover my top choices among these new Sedum varieties that are making waves...

KERRY ANN MENDEZ is an award-winning garden educator, author and design consultant based in southern Maine. Her latest book is The Budget-Wise Gardener.

You'll now find her at Estabrook's in Kennebunk consulting on garden design, answering your gardening questions and much more.

Using Ornamental Grasses

Although often overlooked, ornamental grasses can add grace and motion to your garden thanks to their strap-like foliage that will sway even in the gentlest breeze. Many varieties also feature fluffy flowers and seed heads that will last throughout the winter, attracting birds and adding winter interest to the garden.

You'll find a great selection available at 15% OFF right now at Estabrook's. We've put together the following tips to make the most of grasses in your landscape...

We're more than happy to guide you though these decisions, but knowing your flower seasons will give you a "leg up" on your planning...
