Kevalsha's Plant List

A note from Kevalsha

I like to grow a variety of plants from trees to many ground-covers. I also grow annuals and vegetables. I always find places for more plants. Using containers for those that need protection from frost and are used as house plants is a good idea. Many climbing varieties grow on my trees including a vanilla orchid that grows on a camphor tree and is hanging in there for the past two winters. I try to create barriers that make protected areas for plants that would normally would not survive the elements in my area.

Plant	Status	Notes	Events
Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans 'Purple Brocade')	Have
Golden Trumpet (Allamanda cathartica)	Have	I have this plant growing in my garden and it was here when we bought the property. It is growing in two different sections of the front garden. I have tried to kill it but it comes back from the roots. I like it but it is growing in the wrong place. Sometimes I let it grow but it wants to take over.
Allamanda (Allamanda cathartica 'Cherries Jubilee')	Have	This plant was given to me by a fellow MG and it is growing in the back garden close to the fence. It is growing very nicely and I enjoy the flowers. It can be pruned very short and it recuperates very fast.
Aloe Vera (Aloe vera)	Have	Aloe vera grows very good in my area of Central Florida. It needs to be grown part sun because the summer sun here in zone 9 is too much and the ones I grow in full sun tend to get brown in color.
Sweet Almond Bush (Aloysia virgata)	Have	This is one of my favorite plants. It is growing in my front yard and all kinds of insects use it. The aroma of the tiny clusters of flowers is great. I wish I could learn to propagate it as I have tried without success.....yet.
Joyweed (Alternanthera)	Have Perennials
Elephant Yam (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius)	Have Trade as plant Trade as root Sell as plant Sell as root	This is a great plant to have because it will grow the flower around May in zone 9 and after the flower dies the plant will come out and it is like one stem with three branches that look like an umbrella.
Anthuriums (Anthurium)	Have
Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus)	Have Trees	I got the seeds of this tree from my daughter and I put them in small planters. I have, so far, 7 plants and now it is time to transplant them to bigger containers or in the ground. Update: I have one Jackfruit tree in the ground now. It is located in back of the barn garden.	September 16, 2019: Obtained plant (I still have about three of these trees in containers and need to find a place to plant them in the ground.)
