Welcome
to Larrys Garden!
Larry O'Neil is the host of Larry's Garden, an up and coming television series. Larry focuses on esthetics by mixing ornamental scrubs, annuals and perennials to help guide fellow gardeners in creating their own special garden. He also goes to great lengths to encourage gardeners to expand their knowledge and use of flowers to enhance the beauty and sense of accomplishment a successful garden provides.
Larry's Garden hopes to assist fellow gardeners as they explore great gardens and examine new ideas, techniques and potential new plants that thrive in our climate zone. We also present a forum for questions and answers in order to share information for those who love to garden.
As Larry always says, "Take a moment to enjoy
your garden"
What's New?
There are two new cultivars of Coreopsis, a perennial, now available. They both have outstanding growth characteristics reaching about 24 inches tall. They are durable and can take our heat. Lime rock has a beautiful burgundy flower with a nice yellow eye. What a contrast. The other is Sweet Dreams, with a pink - wine color and petals edged in white. These can be outstanding additions to your garden.

Factoids:
Boxwood
This plant was once used extensively in China and Korea for building sturdy crates and boxes. These were used for storing jewelry and precious gems belonging to the Mandarin empress. European explores, hearing the English translation of the Chinese for Boxwood, assumed it meant that the plant grew in the shape of a box, and their subsequent effort at making this plant conform to this description led to the formal gardens and low hedges of 18th and 19th century Europe."
