In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we talk with Suzanne Boom, Senior Horticulturist with Longwood Gardens, all about water garden plants. The plant profile is on Lisianthus and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events in the What's New segment. We close out with the Last Word on Licorice-Tasting Basil by Christy Page of GreenPrints.
