The English Ivy, `Hedera helix,' is a strong growing, trailing variety that is perfect for baskets, containers or use as a groundcover. It is a classic variety from the Fall Magic collection, and produces fan-shaped, silvery green foliage. Its dense growth and abundant leaves will form a thick canopy just above the ground, to prevent sunlight from reaching other plants. Commonly used by homeowners, horticulturalists and landscaping contractors, the English Ivy is perfect anywhere a fast growing, low maintenance evergreen cover is desired.
The Lamium Orchid Frost, `Lamium maculatum,' has beautiful oval shaped foliage that is bluish green in color with silvery edges. The short, spiked clear pale pink flowers make it a very attractive ground cover. It has a plant height of six inches and a spread of up to two feet. The flowers bloom from May to July. Lamuim should be grown in hanging baskets, mixed containers, trailing over walls or as an edger. Its spread must be controlled. This plant looks great among hostas, ferns, bulbs and wildflowers.
The Begonia Pendula Red, `Begonia Pendula Red,' displays multitudes of beautiful red flowers. This spring planted tuber has much smaller flowers than upright begonias, and also requires more water. Sometimes called basket begonias, Pendula makes up in numbers what the flowers lack in size. Light fertilization applied weekly will assist in maintaining healthy, vibrant blooms. Daily watering should be applied in warm weather, as they should never be allowed to dry out.
