| Daffodil foliage must be
left to die back naturally. If you cut them back too early they may

| One of the many new
cultivars of Philadelphus or the Mockoranges. The newer ones are
very fragrant and much smaller than normal ones. We have varieties

| Time to prune? The left
hand side of this Montgomery Spruce has been cut back. We did

use the stunning blue foliage for winter decoration.
