Hi there!

I'm Heather and I love to grow stuff. LOTS of stuff. Most importantly, a healthy family. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a passion for playing in the dirt. Read More…

It surprises me to say that of the 13 dahlias I grew last year, this one was one of my favorites. Never thought I’d say that about a red flower but the Nuit d’Ete cactus dahlia won me over.

NEW BLOG POST! Great plant combos elevate every garden space. You learn this over time and through plenty of trial and error. At least that’s how it works with me. I’ve had to silence the little voice in my head that says I must have one of everything in order to hear the voice that knows better. The one that forces me to consider leaf shapes and colors, multi-season interest, flower shapes and colors. I’m no garden designer, but working in a small space drives home the importance of all these factors to make a small space sing. This was my favorite garden vignette of 2020. Follow the link in my bio for info on the plants that make up this tight corner. @firsteditionsplants @selectseeds ... #plantcombos #selectseeds #smallspacegardens #elevateyourspace #plantpartners #gardendrama #inmygarden #mixedborders #perennialgarden #paniclehydrangea #vanillastrawberryhydrangea #hydrangeatree #gardencorner #patiogarden #coleuslover #coleus #suncoleus #salviaargentea #silversage #artemissage #sage #smallspacegardening #gardenplanning #zone5bgardening #gardenideas #chicagogardening #midwestgardens #zone5 #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore

The echeveria seems to like the grow lights and tossed up the most twisted stem of sunset colored flowers. Flowers in January are extra special. #echeveriaflowers #echeveria #succulentsundays #januaryflowers #wintergardening #indoorgardener #containerplants #succulents #succulentflowersofinstagram #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore

Why every garden needs an allium or two... This is Millenium Allium. I prefer it to Summer Beauty for both its color and longevity. In my garden, its deeper color holds far longer than Summer Beauty. And it’s truly a multi-season perennial, providing great garden structure in the winter, especially when snow mounds on the rounded seed heads. #alliumflowers #allium #milleniumallium #pollinatorplants #pollinatorgardens #savethebeesplease #purpleflowerseverywhere #inmygarden #easyplantstogrow #perennials #perennialgardens #waterwiseplants #xericplants #lowmaintenancegarden #lowmaintenanceplants #garden #pollinatormagnet #myhappyplace #ilovepurple #zone5bgardening #xericgardening #zone5gardening #chicagogardener #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore

It’s hard to show scale here but this is the biggest leaf on my monstera. Like bigger than my head big! Today is leaf dusting day. Haven’t done it in a few months but it’s definitely time. The shine is gone and everything looks dull and slightly fuzzy. #monstera #monsteraleaf #feedmeseymourfeedme #bigleaves #wintergreenhouse #houseplantsofinstagram #myhouseplants #wintergardening #indoorgarden #monsteralover #houseplantlover #bigplants #houseplants #houseplantsofig #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore

One of my favorite clematis, Princess Diana never disappoints. As a group 3 clematis, it needs little more than an early spring cut back and a bit of fertilizer and she’s good to go. #clematis #group3clematis #clematisofinstagram #vines #princessdianaclematis #perennialvines #lowmaintenanceplants #smallspacegardens #mylittlegardenhome #smallgardenideas #zone5bgardening #zone5 #chicagogardening #midwestgarden #perennials #mixedborders #hereshegrows #heatherblackmore
