Lemon Grass and Madagascar Periwinkle from another year. Periwinkles are just now showing up with some blooms. Lemon Grass is enjoying the heat.
This GH bed has a mass of white Lantana this year, no Pentas.
Alternanthera Rubiginosa is a great plant where a
large dark mass is needed.
It will choke out bermuda grass.
Agapanthus, chlorophytum, Purple Heart
Agapanthus bloomed in May, 2013.
A hard freeze in winter will kill the
tops like last winter and set them back.
I bought Agapanthus in 2007 and 2009.
In 2013 I borrowed seeds off a plant in Tallahassee
and finally had a white bloom in a pot this Spring.
I am going to pot up more plants in August.
Plants I sometimes take for granted:
Persian Shield and its winter blooms,
Tecoma stans' all summer blooms,
Pentas as butterfly magnet and Melampodium,
Loropetalum blooms twice: early spring, late summer.
Beds of Salvia Leucantha need renovating for a
show like this one.
Wax Begonia, what a bedding plant.
Ruellia elegans 'Katie' needs some Lemon Grass.
My variegated Liriope did not thrive.
When these bloom they remind that Begonias are
worth the trouble to haul them in for winter's keep.
