Splurge plants

摘要

Let's for a moment dare to dream big. Is there a plant you'd be willing to spend an entire paycheck on? Some folks might call these selections "coveted gems." We like to call them "splurge plants." What if a certain amazing plant wasn't hardy to yourparticular zone? Would you be willing to set a heater by its side all winter just to have it in your garden? Or perhaps you've seen a plant in a magazine and drooled over it, but you haven't had the opportunity to add it to the garden lineup—yet. We atFine Gardening have wondered what plant gurus from around the country would choose as their splurge plant. After all, these are folks who have nearly every plant imaginable at their beck and call. We were surprised and delighted to see what these well-known titans of horticulture chose. And before you start thinking this is an article based purely on fantasy, we decided these all had to be real plants—no blue roses or unicorn trees. Sorry.
