| This page is a record for me of what I planted in various pots and the results thereof. Sort of a where it is/what it is & did it work thing. :-)) | ||

| Planted
First Week of May
|
||
 |
||
| Mexican Pot (with stick in it) is Astilbe "Rheinland" - a strong melon color. A perennial it will spread so can be planted into garden and also divided if clump becomes too large. Loose well-drained soil. | ||
 |
||
| Round pot is a mixture of 2 Supertunia "Lemon Plume" with 2 Iponmoea batatas "Margarita" (Sweet Potato Vine) & 2 Lobelia "Laguna Sky Blue" - all from Proven Winners. All are full sun to part shade and none will overwinter unless kept above 30 degrees. | ||

Blue pot is destined for the Pond area. It contains 2 white Agapanthus (African Lily), a Heuchera (aka Coral Bells) "Velvet Night" and a Sedum "Angelina". :-)) The Agapanthus & the Heuchera are perennials. The Agapanthus bulbs will multiply thus established clumps and be divided. I have two different packages of these, one saying full sun and another saying part sun! Need to check that out. Heuchera is full to part sun and hardy to zone 5 with Sedum the same and hardy to zone 3. |
||
| Front
Balcony Pots - Large contains 2 Geraniums of an unidentified color, 2
Lantana - one "Sun Kiss" and one "Professor Raoux",
a Bacopa "Big White Falls" and an Orange Purslane all of which
deal well with full sun. The small pot contains Cuphea "Dynamite" (aka Cigar Plant) - an annual and likes full sun. Good plant for hummers. |
||
 |
||
| Two Zonal Geraniums - one "Jazz & one "Charmant" plus Heuchera "Dolce Key Lime Pie" plus Lysimachia congestiflora "Outback Sunset" plus Calbrachoa "Celebration Orange" and a Dracena that was here, left over from last year. There may also be a Diascia "Flying Colors Apricot" in here??? | ||
 |
||
|
This plastic pot with the Dracena was here - another left over from last year. I've planted 3 Dahlias - 2 orange and 1 yellow - around it and will place it where the 'plastic effect' isn't too obvious. |
