Geranium Plants

The geranium that brightens your landscape with its brightly colored flowers may be one of two different species. If you successfully over-wintered your geranium, chances are it is an herbaceous perennial from the genus Geranium. However, most often the geraniums that delight us with their profuse blooms are from the genus Pelargonium.

The geranium, which originated in South Africa, made its entrance to the European continent in the 1600s and has been propagated and hybridized ever since. Today the geranium is still among the most popular of the flowering plants. The geranium is a very adaptable flower that is suitable for beds and borders as well as hanging baskets and containers inside or outdoors!

Horticultural Therapy

The idea of using gardens and plants as tools for therapy is growing fast these days. Makes perfect sense, too. There is a great deal of evidence that working in gardens is wonderful for our mental health.
The relation between our mental health and our physical health is a close one. If we feel good about ourselves, about our families, our work, our friends, often our bodies will feel stronger too. Just being in a beautiful garden can make

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.

Golden Chalice Calla Lily

The Calla Golden Chalice, `Zantedeschia,' features broadly shaped green, lightly spotted foliage and large, golden yellow flowers. The flowers will bloom for ten to eleven weeks with a plant height of nearly two feet and a spread of up to sixteen inches. This somewhat deer resistant plant is suitable for container growing, but looks best planted in a perennial garden. This Calla Lily is perfect for adding a splash of color to any garden of landscape.

Amethyst Myst Coral Bells

The Heuchera Amethyst Myst, `Heuchera x Amethys Myst,' is also known as the Coral Bell or Alumroot. This plant has unique, deep purple foliage that is dusted with silver, unlike the other burgundies of its family. During the spring, its light pink flowers will appear, remaining into the summer. However, these plants are more known for their lovely foliage than their blooms. They look especially great in borders, woodland edges, rock gardens or in mass to form a ground cover. This plant is perfect for a beginning gardener.
