If Tony Avent, owner of Plant Delights Nursery, had a blog it could look something like this…
Plant pick of the week… 
We are thrilled to offer this selection of the famed Asarum maximum — ‘Ling Ling’ Perennial Panda Face Ginger that was named and introduced by Itsaul Plants of Georgia. Asarum ‘Ling Ling’ makes a stunning clump of large, glossy, rich-green, heart-shaped foliage highlighted by two silvery-green blotches on either side of the central stripe. In late spring, the 1′ wide deer-resistant clumps are adorned by basal clusters of 2″ round, velvety black flowers, each highlighted by a wide white band around the center. This easy-to-grow wild ginger is truly a showstopper in the garden or in a container for the sun room.

Excerpt from Plant Delights Newsletter…
Fall has nearly come and gone before many of us had time to blink. As always, we have enjoyed the wonderful fall season, watching plants that didn’t appreciate the summer re-emerge and put on a new crop of foliage and flowers. Fall is still a great season to plant and replant with the cooler weather and often better soil moisture levels. While plants actually establish slower in fall than from summer plantings, those doing the planting seem to perform much better.
Close on the heels of fall comes winter, so remember that only five more weeks remain in our 2011 shipping season. If you’ve been putting off placing that final order for 2011, don’t delay much longer. We’re regularly posting lots of photos of fall interest perennials from our gardens along with gardening tips on our Facebook page as part of our educational mission, so we hope you’ll check us out. You’ll be amazed what you miss between Open House days…. more.
