Time for an update on my Proven Winners goodies from May –
there are still only two problems out of 18 plants, so I’m pretty impressed!
The Summerific Perfect Storm hibiscus I received is no
longer at a standstill – unfortunately, it’s very close to not even standing.
This is a disappointment because I really love hibiscus.
On a happier note, the Meteor Shower verbenas that are in
the same garden as the hibiscus are doing quite well.
The Fun and Games Leapfrog heucherella looks great huddled
in with some other perennials, and the Magic Show Enchanted Indigo veronica is
also looking good.
The three flowering shrubs I received are doing well, but a
couple might need to be moved. Pink Mink clematis and Double Play Red spirea are
both in my lilac/butterfly bush garden, but the clematis may need to be moved –
it’s being overtaken by butterfly bush offshoots and I think the bunnies are
getting at it! The spirea is also being crowded by butterfly bushes and dead
nettle, so that may get a new home as well (or I’ll remove some of the other
plants – it looks quite happy there!).
The Tuff Stuff hydrangea is looking nice as well.
As for the other annuals, Superbells Holy Moly! calibrachoa
and Campfire Fireburst bidens are looking good in their containers.
Another container featuring purchased Proven Winners plants
is looking fabulous – I’m always amazed by the Chocolate Drop trailing coleus.
Proven Winners
provided me with many of the above-mentioned plants. All ideas and opinions are
my own.
