The leaves will get a slight red tinge as they age, and become bronze in the autumn. This is a very attractive grass that works well for either accent or mass plantings."

Spectrum Ann Begonia

Spectrum Ann Begonia

Begonia Spectrum Ann plants, `Begonia x hybrida,' are wonderfully flowering plants that grow well in the garden as well as patio containers.  This variety is a cross between the winter flowering and tuberous summer flowering varieties of Begonia.  Spectrum Ann Begonias are distinguished by their large, flowers that are double and a light salmon pink in color.  More that a half day of sunlight will cause the plants to dry out, as too much shade will cause the plants to become soft and less showy in bloom.

Mars Grape

Mars Grape

The Mars Grape (Blue-Purple), `Vitas labrusca Mars,' produces seedless, medium sized grapes that are perfect to serve fresh on the table, as well as in making jams and jellies.  It is very similar in character to the Concord grape.  This is the most disease resistant variety of grape that we carry, and the fruits will ripen in mid to late August.  Grape vines can also be grown as ornamentals or screens in the landscape.
