Picture is Verbena bonariensis with foliage of Tropicanna gold. I started pots out front that I thought had much promise- mix of golden creeping jenny, silver Plectranthus and black elephant ears. The EE's crapped out, I was fighting mites on them all summer. I'm going to try again with a blacjk coleus in place of the EE. Favorite potted plant- For some reason, the one that makes me proud is my baby Plumeria even tho she's never bloomed. But I am pleased it grew so much this summer, and when the leaves looked so good even in the house thru November. (Sadly now its mite-city) But its pretty new to me so still novel. Favorite non-growing thing in the garden- Different rocks and stones. I sorely need some decent "hard ware" in the garden, but am so cheap about buying anything. |
