Pansy - Got the Blues
The Pansy Got the Blues, 'Viola wittrockiania', will take away your blues. Got the Blues has four varieties of very dramatic light to dark shades of blue and they are quite frost hardy. The 3 inch flowers are mixed shades of blue including "lillenstein', Elbaue, Elbtalfruede and Bergzauber. Pansies bloom best during cool weather, this means spring in cool climates and fall and winter in warm climates. Got the Blues prefers full sun but they tolerate some light shade. Plant them in normal garden soils and fertilize lightly. They need to be well watered but not soggy. Plant in early spring, 2 to 4 weeks before last frost or in mid summer for fall bloom. In warm climates plant in late summer or early fall. The Pansy works well in locations where late fall and early spring color would be appropriate. ... details
Pepper - Chile - Mulato Isleno The Pepper Hot Mulato Isleno, 'Capsicum annuum', is a large Anaheim-type pepper for stuffing or roasting. This mildly hot Pablano-type roasting/stuffing pepper is dark green maturing to a very dark chocolate brown color. When dried for chili powder or strung on a string for decoration, the Pablanos are called Ancho peppers. The peppers are 3 inches wide and 6 inches long and are heart shaped. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. |
