Description
Trailing stems carry striking cream and green variegated leaves. Periwinkle blue flowers are an added bonus. Easy-care plant stylishly accents other bright colors.
A quick growing vine, with green and creamy white leaves, that works well for filling and lighting up combination plantings. Lavender to dark blue blooms give added value. While popular for use with annuals, this Mediterranean native is an evergreen where hardy.
Additional Info
Attractive variegated foliage contrasts nicely with blue flowers. Easy-care plant stylishly accents other bright colors. Adds a touch of class to any garden planting.
Very popular groundcover or container plant. The green and white variegated foliage provides carefree color all season long. Beautiful trailing from a planter mixed with colorful flowers or contrasting foliage plants. Sprinkles of blue flowers appear periodically throughout the growing season.
New plantings should be watered daily for a couple of weeks. After that, depending on the weather and soil type, watering can be adjusted to every two or three days. Clay soils hold moisture longer than sandy soils, so expect to water more frequently in sandy settings.
Different plants have different water needs. Some plants prefer staying on the dry side, others like to be consistently moist. Refer to the plant label to check a plant’s specific requirements.
Ideally water should only be applied to the root zone - an area roughly 6-12” (15-30cm) from the base of the plant, not the entire plant. A soaker hose is a great investment for keeping plants healthy and reducing water lost through evaporation. Hand watering using a watering wand with a sprinkler head attached is also a good way to control watering. If the garden area is large, and a sprinkler is necessary, try to water in the morning so that plant foliage has time to dry through the day. Moist foliage encourages disease and mold that can weaken or damage plants.
To check for soil moisture use your finger or a small trowel to dig in and examine the soil. If the first 2-4” (5-10cm) of soil is dry, it is time to water.
Pruning
Prune plants freely to maintain the desired size and shape. Pinching plants back stimulates dense, bushy new growth and encourages more flowers.
Remove old flowers to keep plant looking healthy and prevent seed production that drains the plant’s energy at the expense of forming new flowers.
Some plants are grown only for their attractive foliage (such as coleus, dusty miller and flowering kale). Their flowers are not very showy and any buds should be pinched off to keep the foliage looking its best.
Bold and brazen for outrageous combinations. Striking colors and unique, clear flower patterns brighten up retail programs and gardens. A collection...
