Sweet Bell Peppers - Purple Beauty
This is another exciting pepper to add to your collection of beautiful sweet bell peppers. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Mix the Purple Beauty with red, green, yellow, orange, and chocolate peppers for a pallet of color. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. The Sweet Bell Pepper Purple Beauty, 'Capsicum annuum', is a compact plant with very meaty, thick-fleshed, sweet, purple peppers. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Pinch off about 50% of the flowers. Pinch off early flowers to encourage plant growth. Blossom pruning will improve fruit size. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. It is unlike most peppers which start out green, this one starts out purple and provides color early in the season. ... get more information
Petunia - Supertunia ® Lemon Plume For zones 9-11, this plant can also be a perennial. Supertunias are a vigorously trailing species of an everblooming, long-living petunia from Australia. They do not need to have their dead flower heads removed to continue flowering and they are not leggy. They will provide long-term color in full sun areas throughout the season, and can grow nearly an inch a day. They are ideal for baskets, beds, balconies and combination plantings. Supertunias are very heat and drought tolerant once established in the ground or pot. The Petunia Supertunia ® Lemon Plume, 'Petunia hybrids', are brilliant in color and are very low maintenance. The Lemon Plume has beautiful lemon yellow flowers. |
