The Spanish Eyes Blend is a very fast growing vine with a unique blend of warm colors which contrast brilliantly with the dark "Spanish" eyes. Seed the plants after all danger of frost has passed. The Black Eyed Susan Vine (Spanish Eyes Blend), 'Thunbergia alata', is a vigorous vine with sunset colored, dark eyed flowers. The Black Eyed Susan vine can be grown as a quick screen and as a colorful groundcover. They bloom reliably from early summer through late summer. The Spanish Eye Blend prefers full sun but will tolerate light shade. They are excellent in window boxes and hanging baskets. They like rich, moist, well drained soils. The flowers are between 1 and 2 inches wide on a 5 to 10 foot vine. Plant them near a trellis or fence, as Black Eyed Susan climb by twining. ... more
Mache - Corn - Salad - Big Seeded The leaves are so tender they "Melt" in your mouth. The big-seeded variety handles the spring/summer heat without getting bitter which is great for north or south gardens. This old garden green, enjoyed in the late stone age, contrasts nicely with sharp-flavored greens in salads and tastes delightful cooked quickly like spinach. The dark green spoon-shaped leaves are gathered into a rosette. It is a very attractive plant in the garden. |
