- [Joe-Pye Weed](https://mulhalls.com/garden-home/blog/joe-pye-weed/) - To most of us, “weed” is a bad word.

- [Perennial Asters](https://mulhalls.com/garden-home/blog/perennial-asters/) - Last September, Hardy Plants Team Member Kristin Tweedly noticed something striking about the perennial asters.

It’s Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit,’ and you’ll find it making the greenhouse a richly colorful place. ‘Cheyenne

There’s nothing cozier than a favorite sweatshirt, a comfortable chair, a warm drink, and an even warmer fire. While no one can pick your favorite sweatshirt but you, we can help with the comfortable chair and warm fire. Décor buyer Sandi Ricke said this year
- [Rose of Sharon](https://mulhalls.com/garden-home/blog/rose-of-sharon/) - Rose of Sharon isn't actually a rose – it's a flowering shrub in the genus Hibiscus. Its relationship to both the tropical and hardy hibiscus is pretty clear when you see its brightly colored, cup-shaped flowers which appear in July and continue through until the first frost.
