Hello, Tim!

Salvete, hortulani! Today is the Ides of March, the anniversary of Julius Caesar's assassination. We don't have a soothsayer to consult, but we do have a Pronunciation Guide for Latin plant names. If Crassula muscosa pseudolycopodioides (or any other plant in our database) has you tongue-tied, just click on its name and hear it pronounced.

As you consider what to plant this season, think about species that attract bees and flowers that self-sow, bringing beauty to your garden year after year. Or visit FineGardening.com for more inspiring plant selections. Once you've made your choices, learn to select healthy plants at the nursery, ones that will thrive in your garden setting.
