FOXGLOVE

FOXGLOVES

Digitalis purpurea

Digitalis purpurea: a stunning, classic species of Foxglove with a wide array of beautiful cultivars to choose Botanically, Digitalis purpurea is classified as a biennial. This means they spend their first year establishing strong root systems and lush green foliage, followed by a dramatic show of flowers and seeds in their second year. Because they are overzealous self-seeders, they often give the illusion of being a permanent perennial in the garden, returning year after year in delightful unexpected spots.

Digitalis purpurea cultivars available:

‘Alba’: Classic, crisp white spikes that illuminate shady corners.
‘Apricot Beauty’: Soft, pastel apricot-pink blooms for a romantic cottage feel.
‘Excelsior Group’: Known for flowers that ring all the way around the stem, rather than nodding to one side.
‘Pam’s Choice’: Striking white throats heavily speckled with deep burgundy.
Camelot Series (Available in Cream, White, Lavender, and Pink): Renowned for being heavily budded and uniform.
Dalmatian Series (Available in Purple and Peach): A fast-growing, compact series with prominent interior spotting.
‘Arctic Fox Rose’: An exceptional hybrid known for its long bloom time and vibrant rose-pink color.

GROWING DIGITALIS

In the late spring garden, Foxgloves bring striking color and dramatic architectural height to ornamental beds. Best of all for Island homeowners, they are completely deer and rabbit resistant!

Ideal Growing Conditions

Soil & Moisture: Digitalis thrives in moist, organically rich, slightly acidic, and well-drained soil. Unlike drought-tolerant perennials, foxgloves require consistent moisture and must not be allowed to dry out completely.
Light: They perform beautifully in full sun to partial shade.
Bloom Window: Expect a spectacular show from May through June.

The Biennial Lifecycle: Let Them Naturalize

Because common foxgloves are biennials, they reseed and colonize the landscape in the most interesting and beautiful ways.

Nursery Tip: While removing spent flower spikes can encourage smaller secondary blooms, deadheading is not recommended if you want the plants to naturalize. Letting that primary, most impressive spike go to seed ensures a permanent, self-sustaining colony in your garden for years to come.

Design & Landscape Uses

With a height range spanning from 2 to 5 feet (such as the more compact 3-to-4-foot Camelot Series), foxgloves are incredibly versatile. They are perfect for structural background plantings in cottage beds, mixed borders, and look spectacular when allowed to drift through shaded woodland edges and naturalized areas. As an added bonus, their tubular blooms are a magnet for local hummingbirds!

***********

Did You Know? The Art & Science of Foxglove

While modern gardeners prize Foxglove (Digitalis) for its dramatic, towering blooms, this striking plant carries a rich and complex history as a powerful medicinal agent. The dried leaves of Digitalis purpurea contain digoxin, a cardiac glycoside used to this day to treat heart failure and cardiac arrhythmia. Its medical properties were first formally popularized in 1785 by the British physician and botanist William Withering, who documented how precise doses helped the heart pump more efficiently.

Perhaps the most intriguing historical footnote involves the painter Vincent van Gogh. Some art historians theorize that Van Gogh was prescribed digitalis to treat his epilepsy. In high doses, digoxin poisoning can cause a visual condition called xanthopsia, which tints a person's vision yellow and causes them to see glowing halos around light sources and objects.

Many have wondered if this side effect influenced Van Gogh’s famous "yellow period" and his signature use of swirling halos. In fact, Van Gogh painted his physician, Dr. Gachet, holding a foxglove stalk, and even depicted himself holding the plant in a portrait. While the theory behind his color palette remains captivating speculation, it underscores the undeniable, centuries-old power of this ordinary garden favorite.

PEONIES

PEONIES

The Queen of the Spring Garden

Peonies are a stunning genus of woodland plants, prized for their exceptionally large, showy blooms that take center stage in late May and June. These garden favorites prefer rich, well-drained soil and are surprisingly low-maintenance once established.

Unlike many flowering perennials, peonies require very little fertilizer; a simple top-dressing of organic compost in the spring provides all the nutrients they need. To keep your plants healthy, keep an eye out for Botrytis, a black fungal growth that can cause stems to wilt. If you spot it, carefully prune the affected area immediately and dispose of it in the trash (do not compost it) to prevent the fungus from spreading.

Looking for the perfect addition to your mixed beds? Our garden peonies are hardy, clump-forming perennials that thrive in full to part shade.

*************

PAEONIA LACTIFLORA (HERBACEOUS)

Paeonia lactiflora is a herbaceous, low growing (1-2') clump-forming perennial. Commonly called garden peonies, they are ideal for mixed perennial beds in full to part shade (3+ hours of direct sunlight).

With May being a windy month on the Island, it’s important to remember that these garden peonies require structural support. Their giant, ornamental flowers become quite top-heavy and are liable to snap during spring rain or wind. At Vineyard Gardens, we carry specifically designed peony cages to ensure your floral show stays upright all season long. Be sure to pick some up with your next purchase!

Note: Herbaceous peonies die back completely to the ground in winter, returning with fresh growth each spring.

Paeonia lactiflora we’d like to highlight:

Moon River (double soft cream and pink fragrant flowers)
Sarah Bernhardt (double pink flowers)
Coral Sunset (semi double coral blooms)

Jan Van Leeuwen (single white flowers)
Laura Dessert (double white flowers)
Paul M Wild (double ruby red blooms)
Lady Orchid (double pink flowers)

*************

PAEONIA X SUFFRUTICOSA (TREE PEONY)

If you haven’t yet experienced the early-season magic of the Tree Peony, now is the perfect time to start. Unlike their herbaceous cousins, Tree Peonies (Paeonia x suffruticosa) develop a persistent, woody structure that stays above ground year-round. This slow-growing, substantial shrub solves the "flopping" problem of garden peonies, providing a sturdy framework that supports its massive flowers without the need for cages or staking.

These easy-to-grow shrubs produce breathtaking single or double blooms as early as May. Ideal for mixed borders and woodland edges, Tree Peonies can eventually reach heights of up to 6 feet, making them a true focal point in the landscape.

If you love the look of giant peony blooms but hate the hassle of support cages, the Tree Peony is your solution.

*************

ITOH PEONIES

The Best of Both Worlds

The Itoh Peonies are intersectional hybrids. First developed in Tokyo during the 1940s by Toichi Itoh, these stunning plants are a cross between the herbaceous peony and the tree peony. The result is a plant that possesses the "best of both worlds": the lush, clump-forming habit of garden peonies combined with the exceptionally strong stems of the tree peony. This means you get massive, show-stopping flowers that stand tall without the need for caging or external support.
Paeonia Itoh ‘Yellow Crown’: Features fragrant, double-yellow blooms with a striking hint of red at the base of the petals.
Paeonia Itoh ‘Cora Louise’: A showstopper with giant white petals and glowing, deep red centers.

We also carry a smaller quantity of the following:

Itoh Old Rose Dandy
Itoh Misaka
Itoh Takara

*************

The Cut Flower Standard

While the Netherlands remains the global hub for peony production, Alaskan growers have leveraged their long summer daylight to extend the availability of these blooms worldwide. Whether sourced from across the sea or across the continent, peonies remain a top choice for gardeners and florists alike. They are easy to grow, exceptionally long-lived, and offer a deer-resistant solution for fragrant, show-stopping spring bouquets.

LAVENDER

May 7, 2026 Karen Logan

LAVENDER

The Scent of Summer: Growing Lavender on the Island

With its fragrant, deep blue spikes rising elegantly above silver-grey foliage, Lavender is an essential addition to the Vineyard landscape. These hardy perennials thrive in the full heat of the sun and require well-drained soil to truly flourish. Once established, Lavender is remarkably drought-tolerant and, best of all, naturally deer-resistant.

For a striking visual impact, we recommend mass plantings to create a sea of fragrance and color. We currently carry several varieties in both 1-gallon and 4-inch pots to suit any garden project.

Perennial Lavenders

The Secret to Overwintering Lavender

Lavandula angustifolia (English Lavender) is the hardiest species available and is well-suited for our Island climate. While cold-tolerant, successful overwintering depends entirely on excellent drainage. While these plants can handle the cold, they cannot tolerate "wet feet" during the winter months. To prevent rot and ensure they return year after year, plant them in a sunny spot with porous, well-drained soil.

We offer several select varieties chosen for their resilience and performance in the Vineyard landscape.

Munstead: Ideal for low borders, containers, and edging along sunny, well-drained paths
Hidcote: One of the best for hedging. Compact, dense, tidy and round mounded.
Provence: Hedging or edging in herb gardens and for mass plantings. Flowers can be dried and crushed to use in sachets.
Phenomenal: A newer cultivar, exceptional tolerance to humidity, heat, and cold.
Blue cushion and Super Blue are a few newer cultivars that we are trying out and testing their hardiness.

Annual Lavenders

Looking for non-stop color for summer? Annual lavenders are prized for their extended blooming season, making them perfect for containers and summer borders. Keep in mind that they won't survive the island winter. If you’re looking for a permanent garden resident that returns every spring, be sure to select a perennial lavender variety.

Goodwin Creek : Highly regarded for its resistance to heat, humidity, and drought.
Grosso: Known for its large, deep violet flower spikes and high oil content
Elegance Purple: Compact variety with purple-blue flowers and strong, fragrance. Great for containers.
Lavandula dentata: Highly aromatic French lavender.
Lavandula stoechas: We grow this Spanish Lavender from seed in two colors, deep purple and deep rose. Spring blooming lavender.
Lavender pinnata: Known for its unique, fern-like leaves and slender flower buds that grow to 3 feet before they unfurl. Adds vertical interest.
Lavender multimodal ‘Torch Blue’: Great choice for containers and garden borders, prized for its long blooming season and unique texture. We grow this lavender from seed.

Deer do not eat lavender!

A Note on Pruning: To keep your lavender from becoming "leggy" or woody, it’s best to prune twice a year. Give them a light trim after the first flush of flowers fades in mid-summer to encourage a second bloom. Then, in late August or early September, prune about 2/3 of the plants height (just above the bottom two sets of leaves on each stem), being careful not to cut into the woody part of the plant which can cause damage. This will ensure a tight, mounded shape for next spring.

DELPHINIUMS

There are around 300 species of annual and perennial delphiniums. They typically bloom in early summer and, with proper care, often rebloom in late summer or early fall. While blue is the most common color, many hybrids offer shades of pink, lavender, red, white, and yellow, with both single and double blooms. We carry both compact and tall varieties and are growing two from seed this season.

*******************

GROWING DELPHINIUMS

Plant Delphiniums at the back of the bed in groups, where flower spikes can reach 2 to 6 feet tall.

FORGET ME NOTS

(MYOSOTIS)

Myosotis is a Greek word meaning mouse’s ear which it’s foliage is thought to resemble. It is native to Europe and is in the family Boraginacea.

AN EARLY SEASON PLANT

We sell them early in the season in 5” black perennial pots.

Forget Me Nots readily reseed themselves and will make their home throughout your garden. This is a good thing but it can also be a problem that is easily solved with a little weeding. Pull them out where you do not want them. Yet with their pretty blue flowers in early summer you may have trouble pulling them out! Another way to control their spread is to deadhead them right after flowering before they have time to set seed and spread.
They are beautiful flowers to have in a woodland border.

Forget Me Nots are only available in Spring!

POPPIES

April 10, 2026 Karen Logan

POPPIES:

SPRING FAVORITE!

We love our poppies at Vineyard Gardens and grow a wide range of varieties for every garden. From true perennials to short-lived perennials and classic annuals, each has its own charm. Our annual poppies readily reseed, often returning year after year to create natural, evolving drifts of color.

We start our annual poppies from seed and offer a beautiful, carefully grown selection. Also grown from seed is a perennial variety that is among our favorite : the Spanish poppy, Papaver rupifragum ‘Double Tangerine Gem.’ This late-blooming beauty produces soft apricot flowers in late summer. Native to the mountains of Spain, it grows alongside Spanish lavender, bringing a touch of that wild, sun-soaked landscape into your garden.

Poppies like a rich, well drained soil in full sun. Deer Resistant!!

PAPAVER ORIENTALIS/ORIENTAL POPPIES

The most well-known perennial poppies are the Oriental poppies. They are long-lived, resilient plants that make a bold seasonal statement. They bloom in late spring to early summer, go dormant in the heat of midsummer, and return the following year even larger and more impressive.

Oriental poppies are celebrated for their dramatic, dinner-plate–sized blooms. The classic red with a dark, inky center is perhaps the most iconic. This year, we’re offering Crimson Red, Orange Red, and ‘Royal Wedding,’ a striking white variety with a black center. We also have ‘Turkenlouis,’ with its vibrant red, ruffled petals, and ‘Princess Victoria Louise,’ a beautiful soft salmon. Oriental poppies bring true drama to the garden.

Make sure to mark the spot so that you don’t disturb the sleeping poppy!

PAPAVER NUDICAULE/ICELAND POPPIES

Icelandic poppies, Papaver nudicaule, their name meaning “bare stems”, are another perennial type, though typically shorter-lived than Oriental poppies. They are truly stunning, with delicate, crepe paper–like blooms held on slender, one-foot stems that seem to float above the foliage. Plant two or three in a pot for a soft, airy display that lasts through spring and into early summer.

We carry Iceland poppies in both the Champagne Series (individual colors) and the Wonderland Series (a cheerful mix). The Champagne Series is available in scarlet, pink, yellow, orange, and red. While hardy, these are considered short-lived perennials. They are native to subpolar regions of Asia and North America, bringing a cool-climate elegance to the garden.

Iceland Poppies are blooming now!

ANNUAL POPPIES

Papaver rhoeas, Papaver commutatum, Papaver paeoniflorus, Papaver somniferum

The great reseeders of the poppy world are the annual poppies. We grow these from seed, starting them in early to mid-February, and offer them in packs and 2” pots.

After their spring to early summer bloom, annual poppies continue to shine with their sculptural seed pods, extending the season into summer and fall. As the pods ripen, they scatter seeds into the surrounding soil, and new seedlings emerge the following year. In many sunny gardens, annual poppies happily naturalize, creating an effortless, ever-evolving display year after year.

This year we are growing:

Shirley Poppies
Papaver rhoeas, including Double Choice Mix
Select Seed, White Bridal Veil
We are growing the peony flowered poppy in Lauren’s Grape, Hungarian Blue and White Cloud.
Ladybird Poppy, Papaver commutatum, a red flower with a black pattern at the base of each petal. It is a prolific bloomer.
Papaver somniferum, in Imperial Pink and The Giant with a red flower.
Ready to be planted now!
**************************************

GROWING & CARE

Plant your poppies in a full sun garden with well drained soil.
They have beautiful seed pods that extend the season beyond bloom.
The annual poppies can be dead headed to extend bloom but at some point let the beautiful seed pods develop and let them ripen on the plant.
Poppies will reseed and you may have lots of little poppy seedlings for years to come.
If they are happy, they will colonize in your garden. It is wonderful when plants colonize! Other plants do this too!

Come to Vineyard Gardens to find out what other plants reseed and colonize in your garden!

Delphinium consolida

******************************

A Late Spring Spark

Why Hardy Annual Larkspur Deserves a Spot in Your Garden

There’s a certain kind of magic in plants that rely on the cold to gift us beauty just as the world is warming again. Hardy annual larkspur (Delphinium consolida) is one of those graceful gifts. With its feathery foliage, towering spires, and an almost ethereal range of blues, pinks, purples, and whites, larkspur is a must-have for anyone who loves cut flowers or wants to bring a touch of cottage garden charm to their late spring landscape.

******************************

An Annual That

Can Handle A Chill

Unlike many annuals that must wait until after the last frost, larkspur thrives in the early season. It actually needs a cold period to break seed dormancy. As part of Andrew Wiley’s Hardy Annual Project, larkspur was sown in December to encourage strong root development, and those plants are now ready to be transplanted into your garden.

Once established, larkspur sends up strong, straight stems topped with layered blooms that almost look too delicate to be real. But don’t be fooled, these plants are workhorses. Hardy to around 20°, they’ll shrug off chilly spring nights while other flowers are still in their seed trays.

******************************

Elegance

in the Garden

Hardy annual larkspur is one of those old-soul flowers that rewards a little planning with a lot of beauty. They’re a graceful, low-fuss way to add vertical interest and early color. It thrives in garden beds, wildflower meadows and acts as a natural pollinator magnet. In a world that sometimes feels rushed, there’s something satisfying about planting a flower that asks you to think ahead and to trust the process.

And did we mention color? While larkspur’s deep indigo blues are the most iconic, they also come in pastels.

Antirrhinum Potomac Deep Orange and Larkspur QIS Dark Blue

******************************

A Cut Flower Favorite

For cut flower lovers, larkspur is ideal. The blooms are long-lasting in the vase, and the more you cut, the more the plant gives. Harvest when just a few blossoms at the base of the stem have opened and the rest are still in bud, this way, you get the full bloom show indoors. Some growers swear by a quick dip in boiling water to extend vase life even further.

If you’re dreaming of armfuls of early summer blooms, larkspur might just be your next garden obsession.

They pair beautifully with peonies, sweet peas, bachelor’s buttons, and early roses.

******************************

Growing Tips

Cool-Season Lovers: Larkspur thrives in cool weather. Plant in early spring best results.

Support Matters: Provide stakes or netting to keep tall stems upright, especially in breezy spots.

Harvest at the Right Time: For the longest vase life, cut stems when only the lower third of the blooms have opened. They’ll continue to open from bottom to top.

Winter-Sown for Summer Beauty: At Vineyard Gardens, our December-sown larkspur are ready to plant now. Early winter sowing helps develop strong roots, setting the stage for full, vibrant summer blooms

******************************

A Hardy Annual

and an Outstanding

Cut Flower

As a kid, I loved snapdragons. My grandmother taught me how to pinch them just right so their "mouths" would open and close. It felt like a little bit of garden magic, and to this day, snapdragons hold a special place in my heart. Snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus) are classic garden favorites, loved for their tall, spiky blooms, vibrant colors and their long blooming season.

Snapdragons bring a touch of childhood magic to the garden!

******************************

Hardy and Resilient

One of the standout features of Snapdragons are their ability to perform exceptionally well in different growing conditions. As a hardy annual, it can tolerate light frosts, making it a great early-season or late-season bloomer. If planted in an area with sun before the warm weather arrives, deadheaded or cut for flowers, they can bloom all summer long. Their adaptability makes them a valuable addition to any garden, where season extension is key.

A hardy annual that thrives in cool weather and extends your flower season.

******************************

Ideal for

Cut Flowers

The 'Potomac Series' takes snapdragons to a whole new level, making them an excellent choice for both long blooming gardens and cut flowers. With strong stems, a long vase life, and the ability to thrive in a variety of conditions, these hardy annuals are a must-grow for anyone who loves cut flowers. Their tall, sturdy stems make them easy to arrange in bouquets and can last 7-10 days in a vase. The Rocket series is another good variety for cuts.

******************************

Growing Tips

Cool-Season Lovers: Plant out in early spring or fall. They thrive in cool weather and may struggle in extreme summer heat.
Support is Key: Provide staking or netting to keep stems upright, especially in windy locations.
Pinch for More Blooms: Pinching young plants encourages bushier growth and more flower-producing stems.
Harvest at the Right Stage: For the longest vase life, cut stems when only the lower third of the flowers have opened. Their blooms open sequentially from bottom to top.
Vineyard Gardens December sown Snapdragons are ready to be planted out. By sowing them in the early winter it ensures a strong root system allowing them to bloom all summer long!

These charming, long-blooming English daisies (Bellis perennis) are native to western, central, and northern Europe. Their name reflects their nature—bellis meaning “pretty” and perennis meaning “everlasting.” An early-season favorite, they thrive in full sun to partial shade and are hardy in Zones 4–8. We offer them in 5” black perennial pots, grown in a cheerful mix of white, pink, and red flowers.

Many plants like the English Daisies, the Forget Me Nots and the Poppies are only available early in the season!

GROWING ENGLISH DAISIES

Grow along a path or a border, in a rock garden or containers.
Plant in a well drained spot.
Plant the Bellis perennis white along a border so it can spread.
Try the Galaxy, the Bellisima or Pomponette Mix in a pot.
Remember spring is the best time to plant English Daisies!

ASPARAGUS

ASPARAGUS

“There are a few perennial vegetables which actually are some of the easiest ones to grow. My all-time favorite is asparagus which can live for 20 or more years. Asparagus continually get bigger and more productive with just a little bit of care. The most important way to care for them is to keep the weeds out in order for them to thrive. They are one of the first vegetables to come up every spring and are absolutely delicious and healthy.” -

Chuck Wiley, founder of Vineyard Gardens Landscaping

GROWING ASPARAGUS

Asparagus are a long lived perennial and should be planted in a dedicated bed.

Asparagus requires well drained fertile soil and can not tolerate wet feet.
Ensure planting site is well weeded.
Plant in full sun.
An excellent weed killing technique is to cover with cardboard 8 weeks prior to planting.
Make an 8” deep trench with a 4” ridge and loose soil down the middle.
Plant one bare root asparagus every 1’ between plants and 3’ between rows.
Splay the long roots down the sides of the ridge.
Water well to establish.
Top dress asparagus bed with plenty of premium compost every fall.
Since the roots are deep, you can hoe out weeds to about 3” deep as long as you do it before March 15th.

HARVESTING

Plants need to establish for 2 or 3 seasons before their first harvest, then they have abundant yields.

In the third year, harvest tender spring shoots at about 4.5”.

Do not harvest until shoots are pencil thick.

ONCE BARE ROOT ASPARAGUS IS AVAILABLE THERE IS A SHORT PLANTING WINDOW!

SERVICEBERRY

SERVICEBERRY

(SHAD TREES)

Amelanchier ×grandiflora ‘Autumn Brilliance’

Known as Shad Trees on Martha’s Vineyard because they bloom when the Shad (a type of small fish) swim up the creeks here on the island to breed.

A native multi-stemmed shrub or small tree, about 20 feet tall, has year round interest. Serviceberries are one of the first to burst into bloom in April with their showy white flowers. Once the flowers pass, tasty purple colored fruit, similar in flavor to blueberries, follow in mid June. The fall brings showstopping brilliant orange to red autumn color.

Attract more wildlife to your garden with native berry producing shrubs like Serviceberry!

***********************************

VALUABLE SHRUB FOR WILDLIFE

Native to eastern United States and Canada, Serviceberries support numerous butterfly and bird species These early bloomers support pollinators in spring and produce sweet berries in the summer that support birds like cedar waxwings, robins, and thrushes. Once the berries ripen, they provide a rich source of nutrition and are a crucial food source for early nesting birds and returning migratory species.

Serviceberries are a valuable shrub for wildlife. One of the earliest blooming shrubs in spring, Serviceberries burst into bloom typically in April, making it an essential early spring food source for pollinators.

WITCH HAZEL

Hamamelis × intermedia

A Four-Season

Marvel

Witch hazels are a captivating addition to any garden, offering year-round interest with their fragrant winter blooms, stunning fall color, and unique branching structure. At our nursery, we carry some of the finest cultivars of Hamamelis × intermedia: ‘Primavera,’ ‘Jelena,’ ‘Diane,’ and ‘Arnold’s Promise.’ For a beautiful display, a visit to the Polly Hill Arboretum is highly recommended, where their well-established collection showcases these plants in full bloom.

******************************

Seasonal Interest

WINTER BLOOMS : One of the most enchanting qualities of Hamamelis × intermedia is its ability to bloom in mid- to late winter, long before other plants awaken from dormancy. Its delicate, ribbon-like flowers emerge in shades of yellow, copper, orange, and red, depending on the cultivar, filling the air with a sweet fragrance.

SPRING & SUMMER APPEAL : As spring arrives, witch hazels leaf out with fresh green foliage, blending seamlessly into a woodland setting. They serve as a lovely backdrop for later-blooming perennials and shrubs.

FALL COLOR : Come autumn, witch hazel foliage transforms into a vibrant display of gold, orange, and red. This seasonal transition adds another dimension to their beauty, making them a true multi-season performer.

YEAR-ROUND STRUCTURE : Even in winter, their distinctive branching pattern provides architectural interest in the landscape, making them a valuable addition for structure and texture.

******************************

Growing & Care

Sunlight: Best flowering occurs in full sun, but witch hazels can also tolerate partial shade.
Soil: Prefers moist, acidic, and organically rich soils for optimal growth.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially in dry periods.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed—just remove dead or crossing branches to maintain shape.
Spacing: These shrubs can spread 10-15 feet wide, so allow ample room for growth.
******************************

Low Maintenance

While Hamamelis × intermedia is not native, it does not self-seed or become invasive, making it a responsible choice for gardens that prioritize ecological harmony. It thrives in woodland settings, blending beautifully with native trees and shrubs while providing a much-needed splash of color during the bleakest months of the year.

NARCISSUS

(DAFFODIL)

Narcissus, commonly called Daffodils, are hardy spring flowering perennials that come back year after year. They are harbingers of spring, announcing that winter is coming to an end. The large, yellow common daffodil is one of the most ubiquitous springtime plants. There are 40 different species of Narcissus varying in size and ranging in color from white to yellow. They are a great cut flower.

“Plant daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, and crocuses together at the edge of a path or walkway. As the flowers bloom in succession, they’ll mask each other’s dying foliage.” Gardenista

Vineyard Gardens Nursery Front Garden Bed filled with Narcissus

GROWING CONDITIONS & CARE

Narcissus are spring blooming bulbs that are best planted in September or October. They go dormant in the winter and will bloom year after year while multiplying.

Flowering bulbs best to plant in autumn
Light: Sun or some shade
Plant in clumps in well drained soil

SWEET PEAS

SWEET PEAS

Lathyrus odoratus

A Fragrant Climbing Favorite

Sweet peas are a hardy annual that thrive in cool weather and full sun, producing an abundance of blooms from late spring through fall. Their delicate tendrils eagerly climb trellises, fences, or arbors, bringing vibrant color and a light, sweet fragrance to the garden. Reminiscent of classic cottage gardens, their scent and charm make them a favorite among gardeners and flower lovers alike.

Part of Andrew Wiley’s Hardy Annual Seed Project, these sweet peas were sown in the fall to develop stronger roots, resulting in longer-lasting flowers and a more robust growing season. Regular watering, deadheading, and support for climbing will keep them flourishing. When plants reach about 8 inches tall, pinching the central stem encourages more branching and fuller growth.

A top choice for cut flowers, sweet peas look stunning in bouquets and bloom more when harvested regularly. Whether left to climb in the garden or brought indoors, they bring beauty and fragrance wherever they grow.

SWEET PEAS A GREAT CHOICE FOR CUT FLOWERS!

*****************************

SOWING

SWEET PEAS

Follow these simple steps to set your plants up for success.

1. Prepare the Soil

Dig a large hole and mix in plenty of compost. Sweet peas thrive in rich, well-draining soil.
Choose a sunny spot for the best growth and yield.

2. Planting & Supporting

For best results, plant sweet pea seedlings before they become root-bound to avoid root disturbance.
Provide a support structure like bamboo canes or trellises to help vines climb.

3. Water & Feed

Keep soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, especially as plants begin to grow and flower.
Apply a balanced fertilizer regularly. Peas are heavy feeders and need extra nutrients to thrive.

4. Maintenance for Continuous Growth

Deadhead (remove spent blooms) from sweet peas to encourage flowering into late summer or even fall.
Cut Sweet Peas frequently to keep plants producing.

WITH PROPER CARE, YOUR SWEET PEAS WILL REWARD YOU WITH LUSH BLOOMS ALL SEASON LONG!

HELLEBORE

HELLEBORES

LENTEN ROSE

*********************

On a walk through Coastal Maine Botanical Garden last year at the beginning of May, one of the many surprises I stumbled upon were the enormous array of Hellebores dappled throughout the shade gardens. I was mesmerized by their range of colors from deep red to shades of pink and white. In the shade of the Giles Rhododendron and Perennial Garden, swaths of Hellebores were groundcover for the Rhododendrons and Azaleas. I have always been in awe of Hellebore’s unique flower structure and evergreen foliage but witnessing it in these numbers was just glorious.

Hellebores awaken in mid April when they begin to put on a show with their abundant blooms. Their flowers last for several weeks and once the petals have faded, the sepals, which look like a flower, remain attractive for several months. The sturdy evergreen foliage is appealing well into the winter months. With all their different stages they are the plant that keeps on giving from spring to winter.

Hellebores are perfect in woodland gardens and in shady areas under deciduous trees.

GROWING CONDITIONS & CARE

Easy to grow
12 x 24” H. Spreads over time
Drought tolerant but thrives in slightly moist conditions
Sensitive to poor drainage
Cold hardy and tough
Rabbit and deer resistant
Perfect along shaded borders and woodland gardens
Beautiful when planted under deciduous trees as a ground cover
After a long winter, the large evergreen leaves look flattened and tattered. Remove the worst of these before the flower stalks begin to grow. Do not remove leaves prior to that or may harm plant.

EARLY SPRING COLOR

PIERIS JAPONICA

March 7, 2026 Karen Logan

PIERIS JAPONICA

(ANDROMEDA)

Pieris japonica is a broadleaf evergreen shrub that provides multiseason interest. In early spring, their cascading, delicate, bell shaped flowers bloom for about two weeks. The blooms range in color from white to pink. Simultaneously, bright pink, red, or bronze new foliage emerges, gradually transforming into glossy, oblong evergreen leaves. Beadlike flower buds form in late summer and hold steadfast through winter against their evergreen backdrop.

Deer resistant, slow growing and shade tolerant, Pieris japonica are ideal for adding year round color to mixed borders.

*********************

GROWING CONDITIONS & CARE

Pieris japonica are beautiful year round. They are easy to grow but need to be shielded from rough weather conditions, such as intense wind or rain and do not do well in soggy soil. Keep soil moist and well drained.

Growth: 9–12 ft. tall, 6–8 ft. wide, slow growing
Light: Sun, partial shade. In Martha’s Vineyard is can be treated as a full sun plant.
Soil: Prefers rich, acidic, moist but well-drained soil
Bloom Time: Late winter, early spring
Flower Color: White, pink
Deer resistant!!
Good choice for foundations and shrub borders
Smaller dwarf varieties can also be planted in containers
