Valentine's Day Snow
We woke up to around 4 inches of snow today. We already had a dusting from yesterday. If I am not mistaken, we've had at least one big snowfall every winter since we've lived here. They usually occur in January or February but sometimes as late as April. Here are the obligatory photos. Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
Yes, this is a must for me too. I have three containers full of it. Some people grow it in the shade, mine is in full Florida sun and does great. I am trying to over winter one of them.
ReplyDeleteI also can't say enough good things about it, except I wish it came in another color. The first time I saw them was planted with Poinsettias, it was a nice combo.
ReplyDeleteMy "Diamond Frost" is still going strong as well - one in a hanging basket and the other in a large container with geraniums - which are also still going strong. Maybe I'll try bringing it inside to over winter.
ReplyDeleteIt is a marvelous plant. I use it every year. The one with the dark leaves does as well plus you have the darker leaves.
ReplyDeleteI have not tried this although I see it in lots of my gardening mags. I am always for a tough plant. It's on my list!
ReplyDeletePhillip, I have to get this plant into my garden~It's stellar. gail
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing. Have two friends who have a garden on James Island used in sweeps in a gray-white-blue garden. It always looks like mist rising early morning!
