Iris - Louisiana - Black Gamecock
The Louisiana Iris Black Gamecock, 'Iris', has an intense blue-black; velvety texture. Four inch blooms are accented with a band of golden yellow. This is probably the most famous of the Louisiana irises. Grows best in a moist, slightly acidic soil and blooms two weeks after Siberian Irises. They need plenty of water, but a well-watered perennial border is fine. A wet spot in your garden or meadow is even bette,r and they like full sun, but will flower well even in light shade. Blooming season will extend into early summer. Multiplies annually to provide long-lasting color year after year. Louisiana Iris Black Gamecock makes a stunning bouquet. ... additional info
Geranium - Southcombe Double The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. 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. For the most part, cranesbill are long-lived and do not require a lot of care. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant. |
