Butterfly Plant - Orange
The Butterfly Plant A. Tuberosa, 'Asclepias', displays beautiful orange flowers. It is a beacon for butterflies and a low care perennial. Excellent for borders, as tall ground cover or for cut flowers. This plant is one of the most attractive plants for butterfly gardens; as a nectar source. Its beautiful clusters of orange flowers begin blooming in early summer and last well into fall. It prefers to be planted in full sun and needs well drained soil. Use in mass plantings, as a border plant, or as a tall ground cover. In fall the milkweed-type seed pods can be picked for dried arrangements. Tolerates poor, sandy soil. ... details
Geranium - Southcombe Double The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. Southcombe Double blooms almost non-stop throughout the summer, into fall. Geraniums are grown in almost any soil as long as it is not wet. They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant. |
