Salvia - Lady in Red
The Salvia Lady in Red, 'Salvia coccinea', is an elegant alternative to the more familiar scarlet salvia varieties usually seen in bedding schemes. The flower-spikes have all the vivacity of those popular plants, but they are longer and less cluttered with blooms, which gives the plants an airy grace and more of a shrub-like appearance. Pruning these plants after flowering will produce sideshoots in spring for cuttings. They are very uniform plants and are heat and drought tolerant. This red-spiked variety performs well in containers and small space gardens. They are virtually irresistible to hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. ... find out more
Geranium - Maverick Quicksilver The Geranium Maverick Quicksilver, 'Pelargonium x peltatum', is an ivy geranium that has beautiful light pink flowers. These ivy geraniums provide a mass of color for your enjoyment all season long. Geraniums are a favorite bedding and container plant and are grown in almost every region of the country. They are excellent in containers of all types from small pots to large tubs to window boxes and combine well with other plants such as petunias and ivies. Geraniums are one of your best choices for use in hanging baskets. Plant in ordinary well-drained soil. Over fertilization results in excessive foliage and few flowers. Fertilize lightly every 2 weeks. Pinching of the shoots will promote bushiness. Remove spent flowers to enhance flowering. |
