Lobelia - Crystal Palace
The Lobelia Crystal Palace, 'Lobelia erinus', is a low growing ground cover with intensely rich, deep blue flowers massed over the top of the plant. The foliage is not often seen because of all the flowers which bloom from spring to fall. In mild winter areas, Lobellia will grow and bloom during the winter. The blue flowers are 1/4 inch tubular blooms. The Crystal Palace catches your eye with dazzling, vibrant color whether in a pot, a rock garden, a border, or a basket. Crystal Palace prefers full sun. In extremely hot summer locations, some afternoon shade is recommended. Place the Lobelia in fertile, rich, well drained soils and keep the soil moist. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date or late summer in warmer climates. Lobellia take a long time to germinate, so consider starting them inside. ... additional info
Cabbage - Discovery The Cabbage Discovery, 'Brassica oleracea (Hybrid)', is so tasty and so sweet that Discovery is the only cabbage a national food chain will use. Discovery is an early to mid-sason variety. These compact 7 to 8 inch round heads will fit in any nook or cranny your garden might offer. They are much better than the grocery store cabbage. Plant in the spring, 3 to 4 weeks before the last frost for summer harvest. In warm climates, plant in the fall for winter harvest. Discovery Cabbage prefers rich, moist, well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Harvest the heads after they firm up and are solid when squeezed. |
