Big Seeded Mache Corn Salad

Valerianella locusta

"The Mache Corn Salad Big Seeded, `Valerianella locusta,' has very tender leaves that seem to melt in your mouth. This plant has one of the mildest flavors and softest textures of all salad greens. This big-seeded variety was chosen because it will handle spring and summer heat without getting bitter, as opposed to smaller-seeded varieties. Able to grow in both northern and southern gardens, this old garden green will contrast nicely with sharp-flavored greens in salads. Individual leaves can be picked off when they are one to two inches long. When harvesting, simply cut off the plant at ground level."

English Ivy

English Ivy

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. 

 




Royal Fern

Royal Fern

The Royal Fern, `Osmunda regalis,' is a tall, deciduous fern that grows naturally on moist bluffs and ledges along streams, and is sometimes found growing in the water.  The broad fronds feature large, separated leaflets that give this fern an almost pea-family appearance.  Its spores are located in brown, tassel-like, fertile clusters on the tips of the fronds.  This gives the plant the additional common name of flowering fern.  This plant will also grow nicely in shaded borders, woodland gardens and native or wild plant gardens. 

 


 

Red Pendula Begonia

Red Pendula Begonia

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.
