Whats Looking Good Right Now


Great silvery blue foliage provides interest all year long. 
Requires full sun and excellent drainage.




One of the earliest mume's to bloom. 
The flower is a dark pink almost reddish color. 




Violas and Toadflax

Seed toadflax in October and it will make a nice green groundcover amongst other winter annuals until spring when it bursts into flower.





Flowers are white with pink outer petals. 
This cultivar is noteworthy for its excellent petal drop.
