Begonia - Camellia - Mixed Colors
They will bloom all summer long even in the shade. Plant them in shady gardens with protection from direct sun at all times. Use bloom boosting fertilizer to encourage of multiple big camellia-like blooms. Plenty of water is essential to keep begonias from wilting, but too much water will quickly rot the roots. Pinch off side buds to produce large blooms up to 6" across! They are hardy in zone 10; elsewhere dig and and store before frost. The Camellia Begonia Mix, 'Begonia', provides a rainbow color mixture of Camellia-type Begonias in reds, pinks, oranges and whites. ... more info
Geranium - Southcombe Double They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant. 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. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. |
