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!

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

Kwanzan Flowering Cherry

The Kwanzan Flowering Cherry Tree, `Prunus serrulata Kwanzan,' will rapidly grow to its mature height of twenty to thirty feet. This deciduous tree is one of the most popular flowering cherry trees available on the market. It has clear pink, double blooms, with multiple petals like a carnation. The flowering period is three weeks long. Once the blooms have been spent, they will give way to light green foliage that has a red tinge. This beautiful ornamental flowering tree is also known as the Japanese Flowering Cherry Tree.

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

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.
