Old standard, but Early Girl is my favorite flavored. And of course, Sweet 100 for cherry variety. I could live on those 2 varieties, and I live in the Tomato Heartland: Indiana!Good morning. Anybody else have particular varieties to recommend?
Without a doubt: Japanese Anemone. Given to me as a little start from at a garden exchange, I don't have the name, but I know it is a standard variety. Blooming beautifully now, no pests, no problems.I am also researching favourite tried and true late-summer/early fall perennials.....opinions, please? Particularly ones which don't need much water. I am interested in hearing from other zones than mine. (Vancouver)
Likes part shade in my garden, and is a real knockout! Pink flowers stand tall about the tall mounded foliage. They continue to stand tall through the early winter where they continue to share beauty when they catch the morning frosts. Zone 5--temp range from -20 to 98, give or take a few! We endure floods, droughts, humidity. Oh, yes, neutral to alkaline soil. Plants that succeed here are superb!
The other query I have concerns a blue morning glory (Ipomoea) var. which a japanese student gave me. I was unable to read the package as there wasn't even any latin on it - anyhow, the leaves are variegated, and the flowers are very beautiful - the petals are more wavy than the normal "Heavenly Blue" ones. Also, they bear down low on the plant, and seem to almost trail along the ground. Anyone know what the variety name could be? Thanks. Sharon H.
