[ Mexican Petunia (Ruellia simplex 'Purple Showers') | Posted on October 20, 2016 ] This plant can become very invasive. It has for me, popping up in numerous potted plants. It has a very tough root that is hard to pull out once it gets going. However, it is a pretty plant. Just be sure you want a lot of them because they will spread all over. |
[ Red-Leaf Hibiscus (Hibiscus acetosella) | Posted on August 25, 2014 ] I have grown this plant for a couple of years now in the hot desert heat of Tucson. I have found that it likes filtered shade. It propagates very easily from cuttings that I just stick in a bucket of water. Within a week or two, tiny white roots will appear. So far I have not had any problems with insect damage on these plants. |
[ Dutch Hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis 'Jan Bos') | Posted on March 4, 2013 ] Lovely color and fragrance. |
[ Angel Trumpet (Brugmansia 'Charles Grimaldi') | Posted on December 3, 2011 ] The 'Charles Grimaldi' has done very well for me in Tucson, Arizona. The cuttings root easily in water and the plant grows quickly. It has a lovely scent. |
[ Rose (Rosa 'Sunsprite') | Posted on October 1, 2011 ] This is one of the most fragrant roses I have ever grown. I am often surprised by the strong aroma when I go outside . A wonderful surprise ! :-) |
