Four Seasons Gardening Webinar Series
Explore annuals that are actually perennials with a little extra care.
Zonal geraniums, black and blue salvia, coleus, and lemon grass are just a few of the dozens of plant varieties northern gardeners often treat as annuals. But these plants have a secret. They are tender perennials that can be overwintered indoors to enjoy again next year. Attendees will walk away from the discussion with options and strategies for overwintering and propagating tender perennial plants.
Presenter: Nancy Kuhajda, horticulture educator, Illinois Extension
