Periwinkle - Illimuniation
Herbaceous perennial. Ideal foliage accent for color pots too. Beautiful cascading down slopes, banks, walls and curbs. Each yellow leaf is edged with a grass green margin. Spring growth emerges chartreuse then brightens to golden yellow. Dramatic alone in hanging baskets for long golden tresses. In the garden use as a spreading groundcover to brighten shade gardens. Direct sun will prematurely bleach foliage. Later in the year plants turn to cream on attractive pink stems. Blooms in late spring and continues sporadically through the summer. Pest and disease free. The Vinca Minor 'Illumination', produces near continuous foliage changes. Flowers are Dutch blue, 1 inch wide for high contrast against foliage. ... more
Lamium - Golden Anniversary The Lamiun, 'Golden Anniversary', Lamium maculatum, is a handsome variety without becoming invasive. The pretty pink flowers are almost eclipsed by the brilliance of the golden variegated foliage. In all but the most severe winters its foliage persists, making it good for winter containers especially hanging baskets, teamed with winter flowering pansies, primroses or polyanthus. Underplant with dwarf bulbs, and chop back whenever stems become invasive. |
