Favorite Plants
Some of Katie’s favorite plant categories include heuchera, sedums, and monstera. She loves heuchera, or Coral Bells for their winter hardiness, versatility, and how they bring color and texture to any landscape. Sedums are another favorite for their winter hardiness but also for their unique colors, shapes, and textures. Katie has loved Monsteras for their lush and stylish foliage and has had a mother plant for over 20 years!
