| OLDIES BUT GOODIES |
|
|
Heirloom plants often fit the description literally. "I have peonies that
I'm the fourth generation of my family to grow," says professional
gardener David Beckett. No list of old-fashioned plants would be complete without
the sentimental favorites. Here are the "last-but-not-least" picks
to round out a nostalgic garden plan.
Climbing vines: clematis, morning glories
Flowering shrubs: gardenias, rhododendrons, azaleas, rose of Sharon,
hydrangeas
Annuals: pansies, sunflowers, sweet peas, snapdragons
Perennials: dianthus, perennial verbena (Verbena bonariensis),
peonies, hollyhocks, bleeding heart
