It's a sad truth nowadays, but it seems like anything you see online is too good to be true, and that's true for gardeners, too.

In this episode, Don and John talk about the disturbing new phenomenon of using images generated by artificial intelligence to sell plant varieties that don't exist. But if you've been duped by one of these, don't fear: they also go over some varieties that might seem too good to be true and can be found at a local garden center.
