Lorraine Balloto is the Hydrangea Queen and author of Success With Hydrangeas. She answers the age old question, “why doesn’t my hydrangea bloom?”

I’m sent lots of new seeds to try, but don’t have room to grow everything. If you’ve been gardening for a while and would like the chance to try one of the latest introductions, send me an email and we’ll figure out what we can work out.

I had fun on Pittsburgh Today Live with Boaz Frankel and David Highfield talking about houseplants. I think we need to work on Boaz’s puns though!

I’ve been ordering from the J.L. Hudson catalog for decades. It’s filled with unique seeds that are reasonably priced. You can find trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, vegetables and more in the catalog.

I’m thrilled to be making my fourth trip to the Chelsea Flower Show and to see the gardens and city of London along with a trip to explore the gardens of Sissenhurst Castle. Not only will we see formal gardens, but also small gardens all through the city. Everyone gardens in London and the city is filled with the color, texture and amazing design which will provide a plethora of ideas for any gardener.
