Gazania is a genus of low-growing, trailing ground covers with daisy-like blooms that open on summer and fall days, closing at night. It only grows 0.5 to 1 foot (15 to 30 cm) tall and 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) wide, but its vivid flowers more than make up for its lack of height. Although grown as an annual in much of the country, this plant overwinters in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8b through 11. Plant this colorful, low-growing specimen outside in containers or directly into the ground to incorporate it into your landscape.
Growing Conditions and General Care Plant Gazanias in early spring, in full sun and well-draining soil, spacing multiple plants 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) apart to form a ground cover mat. These flowers can tolerate almost any type of soil — alkaline, acidic, loam, clay and sand — as long as they have good drainage, though they prefer good, fertile loam.
Water the Gazania, keeping it moist after planting until you see new growth. Once growing on its own, this plant is quite drought tolerant, and only requires supplemental water during droughts of three weeks or more. Water in the morning, as Gazanias can succumb to stem and root rots, powdery mildew and leaf spot that can result from staying wet for too long. Pinch off fading flowers with your fingers to encourage a longer bloom period.
Prune annually in late winter or early spring, beginning in the second season, cutting the foliage back to 2 or 3 inches above the ground with pruning shears. This will refresh the plant and encourage new growth. Fertilize annually soon after pruning, beginning in the second season, with a teaspoon or two of 10-10-10 granular fertilizer, scattering it evenly around the edges of the plant and watering it into the ground. Gazanias can tolerate soils with low fertility, and actually do not do well with excess fertilizer. In even moderately fertile soil they do not require this application, but it can encourage healthy early season growth. Plant different varieties of Gazanias in a bunch for a colorful mix.
Propagation Gazanias are particularly suited for creating a fast-spreading garden spread. They self-seed and grow very quickly. However, you can fasten the propagation process. For this, systematic division of young Gazanias is needed. Choose Gazanias that are about 10 inches (25 cm) tall. Using gardening scissors, cut through the basal stem, dividing it into two halves. Each half will now grow as an individual plant.

Scientific Name Helianthus angustifolius L.
Common Names Swamp Sunflower, Narrowleaf Sunflower Synonyms Helianthus angustifolius subsp. angustifolius, Helianthus angustifolius var. angustifolius, Coreopsis angustifolia, Discomela angustifolius Scientific Classification Family: Asteraceae Subfamily: Asteroideae Tribe: Heliantheae Genus: Helianthus
Flower Color: Yellow Bloom Time: Early autumn Description Helianthus angustifolius is a perennial herb sometimes as much as 5 feet (1.5 m) tall. Leaves are long and narrow, up to 6 inches (15 cm) long. It is often cultivated for its bright, showy yellow flowers. One plant can produce 3 to 16 flower heads, each with 10 to 20 ray florets surrounding as least 75 disc florets.
How to Grow and Care If you decide to add Sunflowers to your garden, there are a few things you will want to keep in mind. First of all, they are called sunflowers for a reason. They need sun. Make sure that the location you choose for your Sunflowers gets full sun. Second, you do not need to worry about soil too much. They are not picky about the conditions of the soil, but they are plants. They will do better in better soil. Third, Sunflower seed shells do contain a substance that is toxic to grass. So, you will need to either harvest the Sunflower heads before the seeds begin to fall out or you will need to plant your Sunflowers in a location where you do not mind any nearby grass being killed. Fourth, keep in mind the height of the Sunflower variety you have chosen. A giant, twelve foot variety will end up acting very much like a small tree and may shade the surrounding flowers. Origin Native to the south-central and eastern United States, found in all the coastal states from Texas to Long Island, and inland as far as Missouri.

Scientific Name Zantedeschia rehmannii Engl.
Common Names Pink Calla Lily, Pink Calla, Pink Arum Lily, Pink Arum, Red Calla, Rosafarbene Calla (German), Skär Kalla (Swedish) Synonyms Richardia rehmannii, Zantedeschia stehmannii Scientific Classification Family: Araceae Subfamily: Aroideae Tribe: Zantedeschieae Genus: Zantedeschia
Flower Color: Pink to dark maroon Bloom Time: Early summer to mid summer Description Zantedeschia rehmannii is small to medium plant, grows up to 15 inches (40 cm) tall and up to 12 inches (30 cm) wide. The leaves are green, unmarked, semi erect and not arrow shaped as in other species. The spathe is cylindrical, pink to dark maroon with paler margins. They flower early summer to mid summer.
How to Grow and Care It is easy to grow Calla Lilies. These plants do not generally require too much attention. Proper planting and location are about the only important things to consider when growing Calla Lilies. Care of them requires that they be planted in loose, well-drained soil. They prefer to be located in full sun or partial shade in warmer climates. Plants are typically planted in the spring. However, wait until the threat of frost has passed and the soil has warmed sufficiently before planting. They should be planted rather deep, about 4 inches (10 cm) for greater results, and spaced approximately a foot apart. Once planted, the area should be watered well. Calla Lilies enjoy being kept moist and will also benefit from a monthly dose of fertilizer throughout the growing season. As with planting, there’s not too much required for the care of Calla Lilies other than keeping them watered and fertilized. An adequate layer of mulch around the plants will help keep the area moist and free of weeds. They require a dormant period once flowering has ceased. During this time, you should refrain from watering as much to allow the plant to die back. Origin Native to South Africa and Swaziland.

Scientific Name Puya chilensis Molina
Common Names Sheep-eating Plant, Chilean Puya Synonyms Pitcairnia chilensis, Pitcairnia coarctata, Pourretia coarctata, Puya coarctata, Puya gigantea, Puya quillotana, Puya suberosa Scientific Classification Family: Bromeliaceae Subfamily: Pitcairnioideae Genus: Puya
Flower Color: Green or yellow Bloom Time: Late winter to early spring. Plant may take 20 years or more to flower Description Puya chilensis is an evergreen perennial with large, dense rosettes of grey-green, strap-like leaves edged with hooked spines. The green or yellow flowers are borne on spikes which resemble a medieval mace, and stand up to 6.6 feet (2 m) high. Spreading by offsets, it can colonize large areas over time. Growth is slow and plants may take 20 years or more to flower. The outer two-thirds of the leaf blade bears outward-pointing spines which may be an adaptation to prevent herbivores from reaching the center of the plant. Hardiness USDA hardiness zone 9a to 11b: from 20 °F (−6.7 °C) to 50 °F (+10 °C).
How to Grow and Care You can get Blue Puya seed and start the plants yourself in a greenhouse. Puya are slow to germinate and require temperatures of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius). Use a well-drained potting soil in a seed flat. Keep the seeds moderately moist until they sprout. Once you see seedlings, move the flat to a brightly lit area with protection from the harsh light of midday. Transplant the seedlings when they have formed a rosette. Plants can tolerate a crowded pot. In USDA zones 8 to 11, you can transplant rosettes to the garden but in other zones they will have to be moved indoors in winter. Up until the cold temperatures appear, Blue Puya makes a great patio specimen. Water Puya plants in the ground once per week in summer. Potted plants should be watered when the top couple of inches of soil have dried out. Water the plant only once per month in winter when the plant is dormant. Fertilize with a diluted succulent food or indoor plant food in spring. Remove spent foliage from the rosettes for best appearance. Origin Native to the arid hillsides of Chile.

Scientific Name Psychotria elata (Sw.) Ham
Common Names Hot Lips, Hot Lips Plants, Flower Lips, Hooker’s Lips, Mick Jagger’s Lips Synonyms Cephaelis elata (basionym), Callicocca elata, Cephaelis costaricensis, Cephaelis phoenicia, Cephaelis punicea, Evea elata, Palicourea elata, Tapogomea elata, Tapogomea punicea, Uragoga elata, Uragoga phoenicia, Uragoga punicea Scientific Classification Family: Rubiaceae Subfamily: Rubioideae Tribe: Psychotrieae Genus: Psychotria
Flower Color: White Bloom Time: December to March Description Psychotria elata is a tropical tree found in the rain forests of Central and South American countries. The plant has become internet-famous because of its flowers or rather the shape of the red bracts (modified leaves) before the flowers mature. From these bracts tiny white, stare-shaped flowers emerge. Sadly, deforestation is wiping this species off the Earth.
How to Grow and Care Hot Lips grows where the soil is rich and humid from leaf litter, moist and sheltered from the most powerful sun rays by upper story trees. Interior growers turn to plants from around the world to add exotic touches to the home. Hot Lips plant fits the bill but requires a tropical environment. For this reason, it is mostly a collector’s plant for much of the United States. Growing Hot Lips plants requires a heated greenhouse or solarium, high humidity and shelter from harsh solar rays. Growing Hot Lips plant means mimicking the understory tropical environment for which it is suited. Most potting soil will not have both the excellent drainage and moisture retentiveness necessary to raise these plants. Add a bit of vermiculite and peat moss before potting up the plant. Place it in an area with temperatures of at least 70ºF (21ºC), humidity of at least 60% and indirect bright lighting. Origin Native to the rain forests of Central and South American countries like Columbia, Costa Rica, Panama and Ecuador.

Scientific Name Protea cynaroides (L.) L.
Common Names King Protea, Giant Protea, Honeypot, King Sugar Bush Synonyms Leucadendron cynaroides (basionym) Scientific Classification Family: Proteaceae Genus: Protea
Flower Color: Creamy white, crimson, and pale pink Bloom Time: Summer to winter Description Protea cynaroides is a woody shrub with thick stems and large dark green, glossy leaves, up to 6.6 feet (2 m) tall. The “flowers” of Protea cynaroides are actually composite flower heads with a collection of flowers in the center, surrounded by large colorful bracts. The flowerheads are up to 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter. The color of the bracts varies from a creamy white to a deep crimson, but the soft pale pink bracts with a silvery sheen are the most prized.
How to Grow and Care Proteas are often seen as temperamental and difficult plants to grow, but the truth is that they are relatively easy as long as you follow a few simple rules. Most Proteas prefer soils that are well-drained and acidic and we suggest to avoid heavy clay soils, as they need good drainage for healthy root growth. If you have a garden with heavy or clay soil, consider improving the drainage by using a free draining garden mix and either creating a raised garden bed (minimum height 12 to 18 inches / 30 to 45 cm) or installing underground drainage pipes. We recommended planting in autumn or spring, allowing the Proteas to absorb as much sun as possible. For best results, allow plenty of space between plants for air to circulate and avoid planting any Proteas deeper than the surface level in the pot. We suggest avoided any use of fertilizer when planting out Proteas, as they have a specially adapted system of fine roots (called ‘proteoid’ roots) which will develop naturally to seek out available nutrients in the soil. Origin Native to the southwestern and southern parts of South Africa.
