Late Summer Pots
By this time in the season, containers become a burden, and I regret having so many. Actually I cut back a little this year and don't have as many as last year, but it is a nuisance to have to water every day. I'm not that good at combining plants in containers, so I normally use only one plant in a pot. Boring I know, but I drive myself nuts when I try to do combinations. Of course, I bring home more plants and the only place to put them is in a pot. I stumbled across this red cuphea a few weeks ago. It is named 'Cubano Cristo'. This year, I've really noticed how great begonias are for continuous color - This begonia was purchased as a last-minute attempt for some extra color for our open garden back in May. Yellow is usually not my first choice, but Michael liked it. It has been a blooming machine all summer. Another one that has had stellar performance is 'Waterfall ' Encanto White Blush'. A favorite is 'Canary Wings'. This one overwintered....
