  • Plant Profile:The Corn Poppy

    Papaver rhoeas, commonly known as the Corn Poppy, is one of spring's most eye-catching flowers thanks to its large, vivid blooms. Exceptionally easy to grow, this popular poppy appears not only in the garden, but also across America each Memorial Day, when poppies are worn to honor veterans and those who have died in military service. Inspired by the 1915 poem "In Flanders Fields," Americans began wearing poppies on Memorial Day just after WWI; poppies were an important wartime symbol because they were the first plants to return to barren battlegrounds. Today, silk and paper poppies are made and sold each May to benefit veterans and their families; if sown in late fall or early spring, real poppies will bloom at roughly the same time.

    Inspired by our new jute garden tote, we started wondering which items some of the most avid gardeners among us couldn’t leave home without. Who better to ask than Karen C., a longtime urban gardener and the newest expert on our plant buying team? When she’s not planting containers at home, she travels to the community garden in her Philadelphia neighborhood, so her tote sees a lot of use. Karen obligingly dusted the dirt from her essential tools, and also shared a few new pieces she’d like to add to her bag this year. READ MORE

  • Spring Ombre with Ryan Jane Co.

    Thinking of spring's first flowers and the English garden that we imagine hosting them, our friends at Ryan Jane Co. stopped by to share this waterfall of ombre florals in our Myrtlewood Garden Trug to top our tables for spring.

    Get the look:

    A. Dusty miller
    B. Maiden’s Blush Lilac
    C. Fritillaria persica
    D. Fritillaria meleagris
    E. Burgundy Ranunculus
    F. White Picotee Ranunculus
    G. Tulip French Menton
    H. Fritillaria hermonis amana
    I. White Iris
    J. Tulip Salmon Parrot
    K. Viburnum


    "In anticipation of an early Easter and a celebration of all things ephemeral, the simple, sturdy trug we chose begs to be filled with first blooms; a gathered color wheel of tulips, iris, ranunculus, and sweet frittilaria. The thing I love about bulbs is that they're trusty. In spite of early thaws and late winters, they work their way through frozen earth and come up strong, braving the elements and determined to bloom. Playing on the iconoclastic English garden trug, they're arranged to spill over the edge in an ombre waterfall with lilacs, viburnum and dusty miller."
