Zones 10-11. Elsewhere prior to frost, dig, dry and store bulbs in a cool, dry frost-free place. Or, plant them in shady window boxes where sun-loving annuals won't grow. Pot early indoors with a starting temperature of 70 degrees or more, then plant them, pot and all, outdoors in the shade or semi-shade after spring frosts. Fancy Leafed Caladiums, South American beauties, are very showy foliage plants with bright red, pink, green and white variegated leaves. The Caladium White Christmas is pure white in color with prominent green veins and a green border. Water well and spray leaves frequently during hot, dry weather. Ideal for shade!

Geranium - Southcombe Double There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. 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. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. 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. The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. |
