Houseplants in the Signature Plants Greenhouse
The Signature Plants program is a benefit of BBG Membership. Join at the Signature level to receive your signature plant in 2009!
This collection of houseplants, perennials, and shrubs has been carefully chosen by BBG's horticulture staff for our members.
Select from an array of perennials and shrubs suitable for a wide range of hardiness zones; light, soil, and moisture preferences; and blooming seasons. For apartment and balcony gardeners, the collection features an equally diverse assortment of distinctive houseplants.
Signature Plants are distributed in April. The 2009 selections will be announced early in the year.
