2009 Pot Creations

Here are the recipes for my personal pots for 2009. Drummer's Garden Center has a spring make and take in March and then they grow them in their greenhouse until you would like to pick them up. Result- full pots in May!


Here's my personal favorite of the bunch. 3 Bandana Pink Lantana in the middle of the pot with 3 Variegated Setcreasea near the outer edge. I have this on our deck which gets sun all day.

This one has 3 Plaza Black Jack Begonias planted in a circle. I have it in shade, but is supposed to be able to take sun as well!

This pot I have set out on the east patio, it gets lots of morning sun. In the middle is a Magic Pink Canna and around it is Orange Symphone Osteospermum and Royal Velvet Supertunia planted alternately. Will post another picture when the Canna blooms!

Early Blooming Perrenials

The first to bloom in my garden. This year it bloomed around May 5 (a little earlier on the south side of the house). It's a short little Iris named Taurica I believe.

Tulips--- do they count as perennials? They are bulbs... but they come back every year, until they get tired I guess. I was a little disappointed in our daffodils. They maybe bloomed the first year. Suppose I can put some bulb food for them and see if they can put on a show next year?
