Darkstar® Purple Leaf Sand Cherry (Prunus x cistena). An improved variety from Dr. Mark Brand at UConn.
March/April 2019 features a breathtakingly illustrated story on Flower mandalas by Michael Russo of Trout Lily Farm (the cover story), and our friends and frequent contributors Lorraine Ballato and Nancy DuBrule-Clemente share their takes on the evolution and generation of a new generation of gardeners. (Pay attention, garden club membership chairs!)
The first of the blight-resistant NewGen boxwoods from Saunders Brothers in Virginia.
We report on some new plants from MANTS (The Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show), including UConn’s new non-invasive barberries and improved Purple Leaf Sand Cherry, as well a blight-resistant boxwood (New Gen Boxwood) and a mildew-resistant basil (Amazel Basil).
Amazel Basil is mildew-resistant.
Finally, Will delves into the differences between true natives and nativars and the potential implications for biodiversity.
