Petunia - Wave Pink
The Petunia Wave Pink, 'Petunia x hybrida', creates gorgeous waves of color from summer to fall. Try them massed in beds and billowing from tubs and baskets. The Wave Pink petunia does not need pinching or pruning. The spectacularly different, spreading habit makes this award winning petunia an excellent choice for landscapes and garden beds where brilliant groundcovers are desired. These low growing annuals reach a height of 4 to 6 inches and can spread as much as 4 feet. The 2 to 3 inches blooms continue all season with out being trimmed back. Wave petunias are both heat and cool tolerant. These plants are truly spectacular and a eye-catcher. ... find out more
Hot Peppers - Cherry Bomb The Hot Pepper Cherry Bomb, 'Capsicum annuum', produces 30% to 50% more than open-pollinated types and bears round, thick-walled peppers. The very thick walls of the Cherry Bomb allows for more absorbtion of pickle brine. This plant is the variety to grow for homemade pickled peppers. The fruit is round to oval and matures from green to red. It is also resistant to Tobacco Mosaic. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Harvest when peppers begin to turn green to red. |
