The Amaryllis 'Red Lion', 'Hippeastrum', produces large dark red blooms. Amaryllis are great for cut flowers and they also can be grown indoors. This plant is resistant to deer. Of all flowering bulbs, amaryllis are the easiest to bring to bloom. This can be accomplished indoors or out, and over an extended period of time. The planting period extends from October to April and the flowering period lasts for 6 to 7 weeks. Amaryllis can be grown outdoors in frost free areas. In cold regions, pull up the bulbs before winter, and store them until spring.
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 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.
