Coleus - Rainbow Blend

$1.89

The Coleus Rainbow Blend, 'Coleus hybridus', is one of the best plants for adding masses of colorful foliage to shady areas. Great in north facing flower beds and around shade trees. It is also an excellent houseplant that will add color on those dreary winter days. The foliage colors are white, bronze, gold, copper, yellow, pink, red, and purple. Insignificant flower spikes appear in late summer. Coleus prefers shade but will withstand filtered sun. The Rainbow blend will perform in average garden soils and likes to be kept moist but not soggy. Coleus are very frost sensitive so plant after last average frost date. Pinch back plants to encourage fullness and pinch back flowers to encourage foliage. Rainbow Blends are great for pots and planters. ... additional information

Broccoli - Super Blend The Broccoli Super Blend, 'Brassica oleracea (Hybrid)', has the ability to spread out your broccoli season with the 3 varieties in one packet. No more broccoli in the compost pile! Broccoli has been increasing in popularity with home gardeners because of its taste and richness in vitamin A and C. The "time release" mix of these three exceptional hybrids will put fresh broccoli on your table for a longer period of time. This is much easier than buying separate varieties. The three varieties in the seed packet are Galleon, PS122493, and Constitution. Planting in spring is excellent where there are long cool springs, and in areas where summers are relatively cool. Late summer planting is recommended in warm summer areas or short spring areas. The Super Blend Broccoli prefers rich, moist, well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Soil PH should be very slightly acid to neutral. Harvest the heads when buds are tight, just before they open into yellow flowers.
