The best plant fertilizers to keep your plants healthy

Viburnum is a gorgeous shrub, and it’s become quite popular to grow as a hedge, pollinator plant, and ornamental. However, there are quite a few different types to choose from. The genus contains over 150 different species, and those species sometimes have multiple different varieties or cultivars available. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and aren’t sure where to start, then this is the guide for you! Here are our favorite viburnum varieties for you to start with.
Korean spice

Korean spice viburnum, or Viburnum carlesii, is one of the more popular viburnum species despite being non-native. It is a lovely shrub, perfect for hedges or as a stand-alone shrub. Korean spice typically grows to around 4 or 5 feet tall, although it can grow taller under the right circumstances.

Pumpkins are a popular fall fruit used for everything from decoration to food. You may have also heard someone call them gourds, and some of their relatives, like squash, are gourds. If that left you scratching your head in confusion -- you aren’t alone. Plenty of people wonder, "Is a pumpkin a gourd?" We’re here to answer that question. We’ll explain what a gourd is, whether pumpkins are gourds, and talk about other fruits often called gourds, so you can go into your fall harvest feeling confident.
What is a gourd?

The word gourd can refer to two possible things. The first is any plant in the Cucurbitaceae family. Plants in this family can be called cucurbits or gourds, and the Cucurbitaceae family is sometimes called the gourd family. These plants have a few recognizable characteristics; namely vines and fruits with hard, thick skins or shells. The fruits themselves can also be called gourds. So, for example, you might call the plant Citrullus lanatus a gourd, or you could call the fruit itself (a watermelon) a gourd.

Chrysanthemums, or mums for short, are gorgeous flowers that are particularly popular in the fall. They can bloom in a wide array of colors, but every autumn store shelves fill up with mums blooming in shades of red, yellow, and orange. If you love mums, you might be wondering if you can grow them in your garden all year long and perhaps even year after year. Are mums perennials, or do you have to be content with replanting them every year? We have the answers so you can grow your mums with confidence.
Are mums perennials or annuals?

The reason the answer is a bit complicated is that mums are tender perennials, like dahlias. This means that they are perennials, but sensitivity to cold weather often prevents them from surviving the winter in more northern climates. Since they may not survive the winter to return, they are typically grown as annuals and replanted each year, or kept as a short-lived container plant for seasonal displays.
