Gladiolus - Glamini - Christopher
The Gladiolus Christopher, ‘Glamini Gladiolus Christopher, 'displays maroon petals with a white center. These petite beauties are new to the industry and are a spectacular new addition to American gardens. This gladiola is half the height of the old-fashioned glads, but still has bright colors that stand out at a distance. Since these Glaminis are so short and naturally sturdy, they don't need to be staked making them perfect for mixed borders , annual beds, tropical gardens, and even containers. Give them plenty of sun, well drained fertile soil, and plant a batch of bulbs every other week in early spring for continuous gorgeous blooms. Bulb size 10-12 cm in circumference. They are hardy in zones 8-10. They must be dug and stored in colder zones. ... more
Geranium - Southcombe Double The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. Southcombe Double blooms almost non-stop throughout the summer, into fall. Geraniums are grown in almost any soil as long as it is not wet. They do best in sun, but will tolerate some degree of shade. For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant. |
