Stories from the Garden

Gardening is not brain surgery or rocket science. There is so much more to our gardens than compost and digging holes. The plants we garden with are story machines, each begging to be heard. Each week, sit back and listen to award-winning author and internationally acclaimed horticulturist Dr Allan Armitage as he talks about the “rest of the story.” For example, was there really someone called Joe Pye, and how did the poppy become the flower of remembrance? Find a little time in your day for some storytelling to fire up your curiosity and learn something interesting to share with others.

Dr. A's Top Picks for the Garden: Salvia madrensis

In today’s episode, Dr. A shares the story of one of his favorite salvias—a showstopping variety that many gardeners overlook. While salvias are well-known for their vibrant reds and blues and their ability to attract pollinators, this particular salvia steals the show in fall with its forsythia-like yellow blooms.

Native to Mexico and found in gardens across the globe, this plant is more than just a pretty face. Commonly known as the Forsythia Sage, it flowers through the summer but truly shines in autumn. Tune in to learn why this underappreciated salvia deserves a spot in your garden—and maybe even your heart.

  • Great for pollinators
  • Spectacular fall color
  • A plant with a story, just like every good garden should have.
