Dahlia - Dinnerplate - Black Wizard
The Dinner Plate Dahlia Black Wizard, 'Dahlia Black Wizard', will cast his spell on you with a single glance. This cactus type dahlia has petals that are so dark red and purple that they appear to glimmer like black magic. Black Wizard's central petals are a dangerous purple that matures to black. The outer petals are slightly quilled and stained a dragon's-blood red. They are hardy in zones 8-10; elsewhere dig and store in a frost-free area. Marvel at the size of the 'Dinner Plate Dahlias'. They are truly the size of a dinner plate and they are spectacular. A single stem will make a statement and you will want to share these fall beauties with friends. Pinching will produce even larger flowers. ... additional information
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. |
