Come on, amaryllis, come on, you can do it, you can do it!!!

Seeds on my Asparagus densiflorus 'Sprengeri'! I'm thrilled it's doing so well indoors.

I ended up bringing only a handful of the tender perennials in for the winter: my Asparagus fern, Kalanchoe, Persian violet, variety of Coleus, Fuchsia Gartenmeister, Lipstick plant, and the 3 amaryllis bulbs.

Most of them seem to be doing well. The coleus especially are growing like weeds. However, the Fuchsia is quite fussy and prone to spots of powdery mildew. The lipstick plant is growing very slowly.

(2) Asparagus fern
(3) Persian violet--always been a prolific bloomer for me
(4) Fuchsia
(5) Coleus (Wasabi, Inky Fingers, Mocha, others)
