Why we love this vining and climbing houseplant New This Week October 5, 2022 Plant of the Week: Rhaphodapora tetrasperma Why we love this vining and climbing houseplant Often called Monstera Ginny, Monstera Minima, or Mini Monstera for its fenestrated leaves and resemblance to Monstera deliciosa, this houseplant is in an entirely different family and comes from a separate part of the world. What it does have in common with Monstera deliciosa is that it is low-maintenance, a great starter plant that can make a HUGE impact when it matures, and adapts well to life indoors as a houseplant. A Rhaphidophora testrasperma can make a big impact! This is a member of the Rhaphidophora family which also includes other common houseplants such as Rhaphidophora decursiva and Rhaphidohora Hayi. As their common name implies, this unique fenestrated plant is a great option if you are looking for a small vining plant to add to your collection. Indoors, the mini monstera normally tops out at about 6 to 8 feet tall, with leaves that are about 6 to 8 inches long. In its native environment, the mini monstera is a climbing plant, so it will thrive if provided with a support to climb indoors such as a moss pole or trellis. If you have any experience growing other aroids such as monsteras, alocasias, or philodendrons, you will have no problem keeping this mini climber happy. Scientific Name: Rhaphidophora tetrasperma Common Names: Mini Monstera, Monstera "Ginny", Monstera minima Family: Araceae Mature Size: 6-8 ft. tall (indoors), 15-20 ft. tall (outdoors) Light: Bright, indirect light Soil Type: Moist but well-draining Lighting: Rhaphidophora tetrasperma requires bright, indirect light. The more light it receives the better and faster it will grow. Avoid direct light on the leaves as they can burn. A spot near an eastern-facing window, or slightly set back from a western or southern-facing window is ideal. If new leaves are smaller or have fewer fenestrations (cut-outs), consider moving your plant to a location with more light. Water: Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, like most aroids, likes the top 1-2" of soil to dry out between waterings. Using the finger test- insert your finger into the top 1-2" of soil. Remove your finger and wave it around, do you feel the wind on it or does it feel cooler? Wait to water if it feels cooler/slightly damp. It can be sensitive to frequent over or underwatering. Humidity & temperature: This plant can tolerate standard household humidity (typically around 30-40%) and temperatures (above 68 degrees), though it will absolutely thrive with added humidity! Consider placing it near a humidifier, using a pebble tray, or grouping it with other plants (especially in winter). Soil: A standard aroid mix is great. For home use, we typically recommend a mix of two-part potting soil to one part perlite and one part orchid bark. The additions of perlite and orchid bark keep the soil chunky, well-draining, and aerated. Fertilizer: Fertilize regularly throughout the growing season. Cut back fertilizing in the winter, but if your plant is still putting off new growth don't stop completely. For plants that go dormant in winter, we still recommend using a plant food like super thrive occasionally. Training: This plant is born to climb! It does best if you provide it with a trellis, moss pole, or wall to climb up! Leaving them to hang can cause them to become leggy and their new leaves to be smaller. Common Problems: This plant is not particularly prone to pests but can still be affected by the likes of spider mites, mealy bugs, and more. Preventative treatments like wiping down the leaves with neem oil occasionally and proper watering can go a long way in preventing pests.

One of our favorite native plants for shade! New This Week April 3, 2023 Plant of the Week: Dwarf Crested Iris One of our favorite native plants for shade! These gorgeous WNC natives are blooming right now in our woods! Typically only 4-6” in height, Dwarf Crested Iris spread to form a ground cover when in their native habitat of peaty woodland soils and part shade. The showy blooms appear March-May depending on your location, and attract and support hummingbirds and bees. A nice big patch on the Owen's driveway! In the garden they are happiest with our native, acidic soil, and appreciate some leaf mulch to increase organic matter and hold in moisture. Due to their short stature, we love using them in the borders of our shade gardens. Once established, they should require no additional care if soil and light preferences are followed. These lovely spring flowers are deer resistant and add a stunning pop of color to woodland settings. If you aren't fortunate enough to have them in your backyard (like the Owens), or if you simply want more, we have plenty of them available at Painters! Native Area: Eastern United States USDA Growing Zones: 3a–9a Height: 4–9 inches Sun Exposure: Partial shade; tolerates full sun

Why We Love Spiraea alba New This Week April 21, 2026 Plant of the Week: Meadowsweet Why We Love Spiraea alba Meadowsweet is a native deciduous shrub growing to 3-4' tall and wide. While a relative to the invasive Japanese spiraea, it is a tame, native alternative! The shrub is made up of many unbranched erect stems ending in fuzzy white fragrant blooms in the summer. Flowers produce pollen and nectar which attract bees, butterflies, wasps, moths, adult long-horned beetles, and more - you'll see a plethora of pollinator visitors! Meadowsweet is also a larval host for the spring azure butterfly. Foliage turns a lovely yellow in fall. Meadowsweet is tolerant of wet soils and does well near ponds, streambanks, in low boggy areas of a yard, or in a cottage garden that gets regular watering. Works great for streambank restoration as well as in rain gardens! If Meadowsweet gets leggy, prune in late winter and it will send out a denser flush of growth that season. Save 22% on 8"pots of Spiraea alba through Sunday April 27th - now only $18! Family : Rose Family Native Range : Canada, Midwest, New England and down to North Carolina – we are the southernmost state where Meadowsweet naturally grows. Fun Fact : The flowers are borne on determinate inflorescences (cymose) and open from the top down in a basipetal order. Growing Conditions : Soil: Prefers moist or wet soil Sunlight: Performs best in full sun to part shade Height/Width: 3-4’ tall and wide Zones: 3-7 Photo courtesy Prairie Moon Nursery.

Lady Ferns, Japanese Painted Ferns, and Ghost Painted Ferns New This Week May 12, 2025 Plant Spotlight: Athyrium Lady Ferns, Japanese Painted Ferns, and Ghost Painted Ferns Athyrium are commonly referred to as “lady ferns” because of their delicate lacy-cut fronds. Very lady-like! But Athyrium isn't dainty. Much larger than just one fern, it is a genus of about 180 different species including Japanese Painted Fern Athyrium niponicum, Ghost Fern Athyrium 'Ghost,' Eared Lady Fern , and Southern Lady Fern Athyrium asplenioides . This group of deciduous terrestrial ferns are native to moist forests–both tropical and temperate–all across the planet from Asia, Europe, North Africa, Canada, and the United States. A very wide range! The name comes from the Greek athyros meaning "doorless" in reference to the slowly opening, hinged spore covers. Grown as houseplants, as garden border plants, along streambanks, or in meadow or woodland gardens, athyrium can easily find a home as a shady groundcover or herbaceous understory plants. Evolved to thrive in lush, humid, and shady conditions, they are perfect for the lower levels of woodland ecosystems. Give them part shade or full shade and rich, consistently moist soil and you will have suitably dense ground cover over time. Divide the clumps in spring every few years to propagate. Each season at Painters, we carry different species of a thyrium (and more varieties of Japanese Painted Fern). Read about these elegant plants to see if they are a good fit for your needs and your style! Photo Credit: Walters Gardens Ghost Painted Fern Athyrium x 'Ghost' Type: Perennial USDA Growing Zones: 4-8 Sun Exposure: Part-full shade Size: 18-24'' tall, 12-18'' wide Attractive, upright fronds have a unique grey-green tone Cross between lady fern and Japanese painted fern, combining the best traits of both parents Deciduous; can be easily divided in spring (every 3-4 years) Photo Credit: Walters Gardens Japanese Painted Fern 'Regal Red' Athyrium niponicum var. pictum 'Regal Red' Type: Perennial USDA Growing Zones: 4-9 Sun Exposure: Part-full shade Size: 1-2' tall and wide Striking red-burgundy fronds with silver edges, elegant and unique Deciduous, clump-forming; Low maintenance; deer and rabbit resistant Japanese Painted Fern 'Godzilla' Athyrium 'Godzilla' Type: Perennial USDA Growing Zones: 5-8 Sun Exposure: Part-full shade Size: 3' tall, 3-6' wide Silvery fronds with green highlights and dark purple stems, forms a massive, arching clump Low maintenance; deer and rabbit resistant Japanese Painted Fern 'Red Beauty' Athyrium niponicum var. pictum 'Red Beauty' Type: Perennial USDA Growing Zones: 4-9 Sun Exposure: Part-full shade Size: 1-2' tall and wide Lacy, silvery grey fronds contrast elegantly with burgundy stems and midveins; takes on greener tones as the weather warms Deciduous, clump-forming Low maintenance; deer and rabbit resistant Photo Credit: Walters Gardens Lady Fern 'Lady in Red' Athyrium filix-femina 'Lady in Red' Type: NATIVAR Perennial USDA Growing Zones: 4-8 Sun Exposure: Part-full shade Size: 1-3' tall and wide Tolerates drier soils than many other ferns Bright red stems contrast beautifully with lacy ornamental fronds Vigorous and easy to grow plus the fiddleheads are delicious!

New This Week May 30, 2023 Plant of the Week: Shasta Daisy Shasta Daisies (Leucanthemum x superbum) belong to the Asteraceae family, a large and diverse group of flowering plants. Developed by horticulturist Luther Burbank in the late 19th century, these daisies are a result of careful breeding, combining the oxeye daisy, English field daisy, and Portuguese field daisy. The name "Shasta" pays homage to the majestic Mount Shasta in California, where Burbank conducted his remarkable experiments. Well-known for their stunning white petals and sunny yellow centers, what appears to be a single flower is actually a composite of numerous tiny flowers. Each "petal" is an individual ray flower, while the vibrant center consists of multiple disc flowers, creating a visually striking bloom that attracts bees and butterflies! Members of the Asteraceae family, these hardy perennials were developed by horticulturist Luther Burbank in the late 19th century. These daisies are a result of careful breeding, combining the oxeye daisy, English field daisy, and Portuguese field daisy. The name "Shasta" pays homage to the majestic Mount Shasta in California, where Burbank conducted his remarkable experiments. Shasta Daisies are relatively low maintenance, requiring minimal watering once established (though they will appreciate a good soak during prolonged dry spells). These daisies are also known for their resistance to pests and diseases. Shasta Daisies are versatile performers, capable of shining in various garden settings. They thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, making them adaptable to different areas of your landscape. Their compact and clumping growth habit makes them suitable for borders, rock gardens, or even containers. Additionally, Shasta Daisies make wonderful cut flowers, bringing their cheerful charm indoors to brighten up any room. SHASTA DAISY CARE Fertilizing: Shasta Daisies are not heavy feeders, but a light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring can promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for the appropriate amount to use. Avoid excessive fertilization, as this can result in leggy growth and fewer flowers. Deadheading: To encourage continuous blooming, deadhead your Shasta Daisies regularly. This involves removing the spent flowers by cutting the stem just above a set of leaves or lateral bud. Deadheading prevents the plant from diverting energy into seed production and encourages the production of new buds, resulting in a prolonged flowering period. Division and Maintenance: Every 2-3 years, consider dividing your Shasta Daisies to maintain their vigor and prevent overcrowding. The best time to divide them is in early spring or early fall. Dig up the clump and gently separate it into smaller sections, ensuring each division has roots and foliage. Replant the divisions at the appropriate spacing, water them thoroughly, and continue with regular care. Pest and Disease Control: Shasta Daisies are generally resistant to pests and diseases, but occasional issues may arise. Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids or leafhoppers. If infestations occur, you can wash them off with a strong jet of water or use organic insecticidal soap if necessary. Provide adequate spacing between plants to promote airflow and reduce the risk of fungal diseases. If fungal infections like powdery mildew appear, treat them with an appropriate fungicide or remove and destroy affected plant parts.

An easy-care, beautiful blooming native that makes a charming groundcover! New This Week March 31, 2025 Mouse-Eared Coreopsis 'Nana' An easy-care, beautiful blooming native that makes a charming groundcover! Mouse-Eared Coreopsis 'Nana' aka Dwarf Tickseed (This season at Painters, we have straight sps as well as nativar "Elfin Gold") Add this great plant to your list of native groundcovers--whether you're just adding to your gardens or doing some restoration planting. A slow spreader to 2' wide per plant, it's a great naturalizer for areas with rocky or poor soils . They do like some drainage, and prefer to have some supplemental watering (some other coreopsis are more drought tolerant, but these do want regular water while getting established and supplemental watering through drier/hotter periods). Spreads via underground stems, allowing for transplant of 'babies' or off shoots to other spots if desired. Simply BEAUTIFUL spring color--a less commonly seen rich gold-- and if you have the time to deadhead the spent blooms, you will continue to have sporadic blooms in summer and another smaller flush in fall (Pro tip: when mostly done with spring flush, just take sheers or a weedwhacker to the entire area as the bloom stalks rise above foliage and you can deadhead them without damaging leaves). Good pollinator support-- butterflies love them . A wonderful edge/border plant, especially impactful planted en masse. Even when not in bloom or sporadic flowering, the foliage forms a nice low mat of dense shiny leaves. Stays partially green year-round, but more leaves flush in the growing season. Check out these photos from a staff member's garden--year two, three, and year four! Coreopsis 'Nana' Year Two Coreopsis 'Nana' Year Three Coreopsis 'Nana' Year Four (The photo is a little blurry, but you can see such a lovely progression!)

Silvery Bracts & Buttercup Blooms New This Week March 25, 2026 Grape Honeysuckle 'Kintzley's Ghost' Silvery Bracts & Buttercup Blooms If you like a showy climber, silvery foliage, hummingbirds, and a drought-tolerant, deer-resistant plant—then we have the plant for you! Grape Honeysuckle ‘Kintzley’s Ghost’ Lonicera reticulata ‘ Kintzley’s Ghost’ We recently learned of a new deciduous honeysuckle native to the central US: Grape Honeysuckle ‘Kintzley’s Ghost’. This native cultivar was selected by William “Ped” Kintzley who worked in the greenhouses at Iowa State University in the 1880s. The vine was known only to the Kintzley family until a nurseryman discovered it in the landscape of Ped Kintzley’s grandson in Fort Collins, CO. ‘Kintzley’s Ghost’ has beautiful silvery-blue foliage and an almost all-white bract at the base of tubular, yellow blooms. While not fragrant, the summer blooms are great for pollinators (bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds)! The blooms turn to bright red berries in the fall. No worries here, this vine is not invasive like some other honeysuckles ( Lonicera japonica ). Support this climber on a trellis and allow it grow to its full potential of 8-12’ in height. It’s adaptive to most soils. Once this low-maintenance and deer-resistant vine is established, it can even tolerate drought. For the best show of silvery foliage and yellow blooms, grow it in partial shade to full sun (4-6+ hours of sunlight) and in zones 4-8. References: https://plantselect.org/plantstories/horticultural-heirloom-kintzleys-ghost/ These are high-impact plants ready to make a statement immediately. The ready-to-climb 3G pots are $40.00 each. A fantastic investment for years of unique foliage and seasonal blooms. But stock is limited! Grab yours now before this ethereal beauty disappears. Lonicera reticulata 'Kintzley's Ghost®' Deciduous vine (z4-8) full sun-part shade Climbing 8-12' Cultivar of a central US native, propagated in the 1800s by an Iowa gardener named William ''Ped'' Kintzley Deer resistant, not aggressive, adaptable to most soils Unique, spectacular, easy-care

Our favorite fragrant plants are here! New This Week March 8, 2026 Making Scents in your Garden: Literal Scent-Makers Our favorite fragrant plants are here! Stop and smell the roses (and the lilacs, and the paperbush)! Our favorite fragrant plants are here. These scent-makers will help your garden smell as good as it looks! We often design gardens for the eye forgetting the transportive nature of aroma. Beyond just pure floral enchantment, our noses provide direct links to our past. Unlike other senses, fragrance is processed in the limbic system —a brain region typically associated with memory and emotional processes. This biological connection is why the scent of a specific flower can trigger a sudden, powerful emotional reaction more effectively than just looking at it. So go ahead and create some memories in your garden full of fragrance! A few tips for fragrance gardens: Layer your plants for consistent scent across the seasons. Just like you might plant for staggered blooms throughout the year, time fragrant bulbs in the spring, add spring and summer scents with shrubs, trees, and herbs, and include perennials for aromas into autumn. Position plants near windows, pathways, and doorways to maximize your enjoyment. Scented geraniums were notably popular and strategically planted along pathways in Victorian times so that long skirts would brush against the foliage and release a dreamy scent! And don’t forget about the evening scents for nighttime pollinators: four o’clocks, evening primrose, night-blooming jasmine, and moonflower are great ones! Highly fragranced plants always go fast, but we’ve got a great stock right now. Read up and then come find your favorite! Scented blooms: Paperbush bloom at Painters Paperbush Edgeworthia chrysantha Stunningly sweet clusters of yellow flowers bloom in winter, emitting a truly magical gardenia-like fragrance.
