Scientific Name Pieris floribunda (Pursh) Benth. & Hook. f.
Common Names Mountain Fetterbush, Mountain Andromeda, Mountain Pieris Synonyms Andromeda floribunda (basionym), Andromeda montana, Andromeda vaccinifolia, Leucothoe floribunda, Portuna floribunda, Zenobia floribunda Scientific Classification Family: Ericaceae Genus: Pieris
Flower Color: White Bloom Time: Autumn Description Pieris floribunda is a bushy shrub up to 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, with oval shiny, leathery leaves which are normally evergreen, but may shed in a harsh winter to brown and persist until spring. It has erect or erect with just slightly nodding panicles of white, urn-shaped flowers that form in autumn as erect pink buds. The brown, dry fruit is a slightly angled globular capsule up to 0.5 inch (13 mm) long in autumn and persisting until late April. The gray-brown bark is shaggy and peeling when mature. Hardiness USDA hardiness zone 4a to 8b: from −30 °F (−34.4 °C) to 20 °F (−6.7 °C).
How to Grow and Care As they are originally from a forested habitat they do best in dappled shade. Strong sun in early spring can burn the tender new growth. They will not do too well in full shade as they won’t produce as many flowers and the color of the new growth won’t be as intense. They need well-drained but moisture retentive humus-rich acid soil. If you have an alkaline soil you will have to grow it in a pot; you can add ericaceous compost and feed and mulch with pine needles but it will only be temporary and an alkaline soil will always be an alkaline soil. They are a hardy shrub but it may need some protection from late frosts which will burn the new growth and flowers. The frost probably won’t kill the plant but it will mar the spring display which is usually the main reason it is grown. Plant them to the same depth as they are in the pot and water well. Keep an eye on the watering in the first season, particularly if there is a long dry spell. Origin Native to the eastern United States, primarily the southern Appalachian Mountains in the States of Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and West Virginia.

Scientific Name Phlomis fruticosa L.
Common Names Jerusalem Sage Synonyms Beloakon luteum, Phlomis angustifolia, Phlomis latifolia, Phlomis pichleri, Phlomis portae, Phlomis salviifolia, Phlomis scariosa Scientific Classification Family: Lamiaceae Subfamily: Lamioideae Genus: Phlomis
Flower Color: Pink or white Bloom Time: Summer Description Phlomis fruticosa is a large, multi-stemmed, broad, evergreen shrub, up to 3 feet (1 m) tall and up to 5 feet (1.5 m) wide. The sage-like, aromatic leaves are oval, soft woolly, grey-green with white undersides and up to 4 inches (10 cm) long. Flowers are light yellow, tubular, up to 1.2 inches (3 cm) in length and grow in whorls of 20 on erect stems from spring through summer.
How to Grow and Care If you wish to plant Phlomis in a container, make use of a large one filled with compost with a soil foundation. Try not to be too generous in feeding and watering your plant as it actually grows well in drought. Once your Phlomis begins to form flowers, you may need to do some trimming as it has a tendency to grow uncontrollably. Trimming it back will put a limit to this. When winter comes, keep the plant protected in a cool area. Always remember that you should water it as minimally as possible. For propagating purposes, select seeds of medium size preferably during autumn. Make use of plug or seed trays, covering them with a thin coating of compost. Place them in a cool area. The germination process can be quite swift. As soon as your seedlings are big enough, you may begin to transplant them into an area of your garden that is safe from the frost. Origin Native to Albania, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Turkey, and regions of the former Yugoslavia.

Scientific Name Phalaenopsis bellina (Rchb.f.) Christenson
Synonyms Phalaenopsis violacea var. bellina Scientific Classification Family: Orchidaceae Subfamily: Epidendroideae Genus: Phalaenopsis Subgenus: Phalaenopsis
Flower Color: Green and purple Bloom Time: Summer to fall Description Phalaenopsis bellina is a monopodial orchid. The leaves are a light green and appear to be very glossy and slightly wavy. With age they can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) long and have a downward growth. Each year the orchid will produce 1 or 2 new leaves and the bottom leaves will dry and fall regularly. The flowers are displayed on a short and compact flower spike which emerges from between the leaves are elongates forward. They are waxy, green and purple, up to 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter and are usually produced above the leaves. Hardiness USDA hardiness zone 11a to 12b: from 40 °F (+4.4 °C) to 60 °F (15.6 °C).
How to Grow and Care Phalaenopsis are generally very rewarding plants. They are not demanding and, in the right conditions, they will reward the grower with months of showy blooms. It is vitally important, however, that water never be allowed to rest in the growing tip of the plant. This will cause the new leaves to rot, and the plant will die. Thus, they should only be watered in the morning. As with all Orchids, the higher the humidity and temperature, the greater the need for turbulent air flow to prevent rot, fungus and diseases. Successful growth means finding the right balance between humidity, temperature, light and air flow. Phalaenopsis can be grown in most Orchid potting media, including chunks of pine bark, clay aggregate pellets, charcoal, perlite, sphagnum moss, and styrofoam. They can also be grown in hanging baskets or mounted on slabs in a greenhouse-type environment. As with all Epiphytic Orchids, they should be planted in free-draining containers. Repot Phalaenopsis in spring, after the bloom is done. Adult Phalaenopsis can often go for two years or more before they need to be repotted. Origin Native to Malaysia and Borneo.

Scientific Name Penstemon digitalis Nutt. ex Sims
Common Names Foxglove Beardtongue, Foxglove Penstemon, Smooth Penstemon, Talus Slope Penstemon Synonyms Chelone digitalis, Penstemon laevigatus subsp. digitalis, Penstemon laevigatus var. digitalis Scientific Classification Family: Plantaginaceae Tribe: Cheloneae Genus: Penstemon
Flower Color: White Bloom Time: Late spring to early summer Description Penstemon digitalis is a glabrous, up to 5 foot (1.5 m) tall, herbaceous plant with opposite, shiny green, simple leaves on slender, purple stems. The leaves are up to 5 inches (12.5 cm) long. While upright, the stems average anywhere from 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) tall. The flowering panicle extends to almost one third of the plant’s height and has pairs of branches which repeat with 2 flowers multiple times. The pedicels are almost one fourth of an inch (2.5 cm) long and produce 1.25 inch (3.1 cm) long, two-lipped, tubular flowers over dark green foliage. The plant has elliptic basal leaves and lance-shaped to oblong stem leaves. The flowers are white and are borne late spring to early summer. Hardiness USDA hardiness zone 2a to 8b: from −50 °F (−45.6 °C) to 20 °F (−6.7 °C).
How to Grow and Care The best location for your Penstemon is in a full sun area with well draining soil. Penstemon care and maintenance is minimal if the site and moisture requirements are met. Poorly draining soils and freezing temperatures while the plant is still active are the biggest causes of plant mortality. The perennial is remarkably tolerant of drought conditions and is a stalwart presence in even low nutrient soils. It has had to be adaptable to thrive in windy, exposed areas of mountain foothills. You can grow Penstemon from seed. They begin as rosettes low to the ground before forming the characteristic flower stalk. Indoor sowing should begin in late winter. Seedlings are ready to transplant when they have a second set of true leaves. Space Penstemon plants 1 to 3 feet apart and mix in a little compost at planting time to help conserve water and increase porosity. Water the young plants at least once per week as they establish. You can reduce watering as the plant matures. Mulch around the plants to help protect the roots from winter’s cold and prevents spring weeds. Origin Native to eastern Canada and eastern and southeastern United States.

Scientific Name Pelargonium peltatum (L.) L’Hér.
Common Names Ivy-leaved Geranium, Ivy-leaf Geranium, Ivy Geranium, Cascading Geranium, Hanging Geranium Synonyms Dibrachya clypeata, Dibrachya peltata, Geraniospermum lateripes, Geraniospermum peltatum, Geranium peltatum, Pelargonium lateripes, Pelargonium x peltatum Scientific Classification Family: Geraniaceae Genus: Pelargonium
Flower Color: Pink Bloom Time: Spring and early summer Description Pelargonium peltatum is a climbing, semi-succulent perennial, trailing through other trees and shrubs in its habitat. The climber has long, straggling shoots, which can reach up to 6.5 feet (2 m). This plant is characterized by its ivy-shaped leaves. Some of the leaves have distinctive zonal markings, but this is not a common characteristic. The inflorescence is an umbel of 2 to 9 pink flowers, with 5 dark-streaked or marked petals each up to 0.8 inch (2 cm) long. It flowers mainly in spring and early summer. Hardiness USDA hardiness zone 9b to 11b: from 25 °F (−3.9 °C) to 50 °F (+10 °C).
How to Grow and Care Work organic compost into high-quality container potting soil that contains ingredients such as peat moss, vermiculite and perlite. Use this compost/soil mixture to fill pots for your Pelargoniums. Good drainage is essential to Pelargoniums so choose containers with adequate drainage holes. If your Pelargoniums are already in pots, spread organic compost lightly on the soil surface and work in, taking care not to dig up the plant’s roots. Choose locations getting direct sun for most Pelargoniums. They need at least six hours of sun daily. Martha Washington and Regal types prefer a site that is shady in the afternoon. All Pelargoniums need afternoon shade if your area regularly sees summer temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius). Feed your Pelargoniums every two weeks with a balanced fertilizer like 10-10-10 or 20-20-20. Buy fertilizer that dissolves in water for easier application. Every third watering, add Epsom salts — magnesium sulfate — to the plant water — 1 teaspoon per 1 gallon — to provide magnesium. Or, add a slow-release fertilizer to the soil mix when you plant the geraniums in the pot — it feeds them all season. Origin Native to southern Africa, particularly South Africa.

Scientific Name Passiflora incarnata L.
Common Names Purple Passion Flower, Apricot Vine, Maypop, Maypop Passion Flower, Passionflower, Passionvine, Passion Vine, True Passion Flower, Wild Apricot, Wild Passion Vine Synonyms Granadilla incarnata, Passiflora edulis var. kerii, Passiflora kerii, Passiflora rigidula Scientific Classification Family: Passifloraceae Genus: Passiflora
Flower Color: Pinkish-purple Bloom Time: Summer Description Passiflora incarnata is a rapid-growing, tendril-climbing vine which is woody in warm winter climates and herbaceous (dies to the ground) in cold winter climates. Features three-lobed, dark green leaves and showy, up to 2.5 inches (6.3 cm) in diameter, fringed flowers having white petals and sepals and a central crown of pinkish-purple filaments. Flowers bloom in summer and are fragrant. Fleshy, egg-shaped, edible fruits called Maypops appear in July and mature to a yellowish color in fall.
How to Grow and Care Their vibrant colors and heady fragrance make the Passion Flower a welcome addition to any garden. Unfortunately, because of its origins, most species of Passion Flower plant can’t overwinter in many gardens in the United States, although there are a few that will survive up to USDA plant hardiness zone 5. Most varieties will grow in Zones 7-10. Because they are vines, the best place for growing Passion Flower is along a trellis or fence. The tops will be killed off during winter, but if you mulch deeply, your Passion Flower plant will return with new shoots in the spring. Since growing Passion Flowers can reach 20 feet (6 m) in a single season, this die back will help keep the vine under control. Tropical Passion Flowers need full sun and well drained soil. Two applications of a well-balanced fertilizer per year, once in early spring and one in midsummer is all the Passion Flower care you’ll need. Origin Native of the southeastern United States, including southern Missouri where it typically occurs in sandy soils, low moist woods and open areas.
