Scientific Name Kohleria amabilis (Planch. & Linden) Fritsch
Common Names Tree Gloxinia Synonyms Tydaea amabilis (basionym), Achimenes amabilis, Achimenes picta, Diastema pictum, Isoloma amabile, Isoloma amabilis, Isoloma bogotense var. amabile, Tydaea ceciliae, Tydaea venosa Scientific Classification Family: Gesneriaceae Subfamily: Cactoideae Tribe: Cacteae Genus: Kohleria
Flower Color: Pink on the outside with red or purple dots inside Bloom Time: Late winter through the spring and summer Description Kohleria amabilis is a flowering plant, up to 24 inches (60 cm) tall. The leaves are egg-shaped, velvety, up to 4 inches (10 cm) long, and have a silvery pattern. The brightly colored flowers are up to 2 inches (5 cm) long, tubular, slightly nodding, usually pink on the outside with red or purple dots inside. Flowering period extends from late winter through the spring and summer.
How to Grow and Care Put your Kohleria where it’ll get plenty of light, but out of direct sun. Filtered light from a south- or west-facing window will give it the light it needs. Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season, but take care not to overwater. Dry soil will cause the plant to go dormant. Soggy soil will quickly cause the rhizomes to rot. You can expect dozens of blooms on plants in spring and summer. You’ll get the most blooms by providing plenty of bright, indirect light. This one likes to be slightly pot-bound, and blooms best this way. Repot in spring when it has outgrown its pot. Always use a container with drainage holes to prevent soggy soil. Divide rhizomes in spring and pot separately. Or take 4-inch (10 cm) leaf tip cuttings with at least 1 pair of leaves attached and root in moist potting mix. Cover the whole thing with plastic or a glass cloche to hold in moisture. Cuttings root easily in about 4 to 6 weeks. Origin Native to Honduras and Colombia.

Scientific Name Kalmia latifolia L.
Common Names Mountain Laurel, American Mountain Laurel, Calico Bush, Spoonwood, Spoonwood Tree, Broad-Leav’d Kalmia Synonyms Chamaedaphne latifolia, Kalmia latifolia f. latifolia, Kalmia latifolia var. latifolia Scientific Classification Family: Ericaceae Subfamily: Ericoideae Tribe: Phyllodoceae Genus: Kalmia
Flower Color: Pink to white Bloom Time: Late spring and early summer Description Kalmia latifolia is the state flower of Connecticut and Pennsylvania. It is a dense, bushy, medium-sized, evergreen shrub, up to 30 feet (9 m) tall. The leaves are glossy, dark green in color, up to 4.7 inches (12 cm) long and up to 1.6 inches (4 cm) wide. Flowers in late spring and early summer. Flowers are round, ranging from pink to white, and occur in clusters.
How to Grow and Care Mountain Laurel is hardy to zone 5. In colder areas it will need to be protected in winter with burlap barriers to block the winter wind. Purchase plants from your local garden center. Look for the hardiest varieties for cold areas. Plant shrubs from spring, after all danger of frost has passed, to summer in well drained, moist, acidic, cool soils. Avoid windy areas, if possible. Space plants 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 m) apart. Keep young shrubs well watered. Keep the soil evenly moist and acidic with a layer of wood chips or evergreen bark mulch. Fertilize mountain laurel in spring with a plant food for acidic-loving plants such as you’d use for Rhododendrons. Mountain Laurel will get spindly, develop leaf spots and have few flowers if grown in too much shade. Look for leaf spot resistant varieties if growing under these conditions. It also doesn’t grow well in poorly drained soils. It’s a slow grower that should only be pruned to shape the plant in spring after flowering. Dead, diseased and broken branches can be taken out at any time. Mountain laurel doesn’t have many pest problems. Origin Native to eastern United States.

Scientific Name Kalanchoe delagoensis Eckl. & Zeyh.
Common Names Chandelier Plant, Mother of Thousands, Mother of Millions Synonyms Kalanchoe tubiflora, Kalanchoe verticillata, Kalanchoe delagoensis, Bryophyllum tubiflorum, Bryophyllum verticillatum, Bryophyllum delagoense, Geaya purpurea Scientific Classification Family: Crassulaceae Subfamily: Sedoideae Tribe: Kalanchoeae Genus: Kalanchoe
Flower Flower Color: Orange to scarlet Bloom Time: Winter Description Kalanchoe delagoensis is a perennial succulent, reproducing asexually by means of small plantlets borne at the ends of each leaf. Stem erect, up to 3.3 feet (1 m), often with short sterile shoots at the base. Leaves simple, usually ternate, sub-cylindrical, up to 6 inches (15 cm) long, up to 0.2 inch (0.5 cm) wide, lower surface sulcate, often spotted with reddish brown, margins near apex with 3 – 9 conical teeth between which spoon-shaped bulbils are produced. Umbels of trumpet-shaped up to 1.2 inches (3 cm) long orange to scarlet flowers that dangle in clusters from the top of the plant. Due to intense vegetative reproduction, this plant rarely blooms. But well grown larger specimens can flower profusely in winter.
How to Grow and Care Kalanchoes are not particularly hard to grow, and the flowering varieties are highly rewarding for their colorful and long-lasting flowers. They prefer bright, sunny locations, especially in the summer growing season. During the winter, consider a south-facing window. Water moderately throughout the summer and reduce watering in the winter. Let the soil surface dry out between waterings, and in the winter, the plant can almost dry out. Watch the fleshy leaves for signs of water distress. An ordinary potting soil mix is fine. Feed bi-weekly in the summer with a liquid fertilizer, or use slow-release pellets. Origin Native to Madagascar.

Scientific Name Briza maxima L.
Common Names Greater Quaking Grass, Great Quaking Grass, Big Quaking Grass, Large Quaking Grass, Blowfly Grass, Rattlesnake Grass, Shelly Grass, Rattle Grass, Shell Grass Synonyms Briza capensis, Briza dalmatica, Briza gracilescens, Briza grandis, Briza major, Briza microclada, Briza monspessulana, Briza montana, Briza portenschlagii, Briza pulchella, Briza rubens, Briza rubra, Macrobriza maxima, Poa maxima Scientific Classification Family: Poaceae Subfamily: Pooideae Genus: Briza
Flower Color: Pale green Bloom Time: May to August, 12 weeks from spring sowing Description Briza maxima is a beautiful, erect, annual grass up to 2 feet (60 cm) tall, with thin stems, hung with pale green flowers that look like rain drops as they catch the light. Its stems are usually not branched and are hairless. Leaves are tufted together at the base of the plant and alternately arranged along the stems. Hardiness USDA hardiness zone 5b to 10b: from −15 °F (−26.1 °C) to 40 °F (+4.4 °C).
How to Grow and Care Quaking Grass has no special germination requirements and so can be sown at any time of the year to raise plants. As with most grass seed this means that seed can also be sown successfully in open ground in both autumn and spring. It is a slow growing grass and so will take time to establish from seed. It is best sown in small quantities to add interest as a minor component of a mixture, with the main ground cover provided by other companion grass species. As Quaking Grass is not a very competitive grass it does require good grassland management (mowing and grazing) to maintain its presence in a mixed sward, particularly on better soils. Neglect, or even regular late hay cutting will allow taller grasses the opportunity to outgrow and to shade it out. Also whilst quaking grass does produce side shoots it does not spread laterally very much so is dependent self-seeding into gaps created by good management to maintain itself or increase in a mixed sward. Origin Native to northern Africa, the Azores, western Asia, and southern Europe.

Scientific Name Borago officinalis ‘Alba’
Common Names White Borage, Starflower, Talewort Scientific Classification Family: Boraginaceae Subfamily: Boraginoideae Genus: Borago
Flower Color: White Bloom Time: Early spring right through to autumn Description Borago officinalis ‘Alba’ is identical in growth habit to its blue counterpart Borago officinalis, growing to a bush up to 3 foot (90 cm) tall, that is slightly narrower in width. Stalks tend to be a bit sturdier, and the plant usually blooms slightly later in the season than its blue cousin. Both share the same large, fuzzy oval-shaped leaves. The leaves are wrinkly and grey-green colored. The flowers are pure white, perfectly star-shaped, grow around the stem and appear from early spring right through to autumn. Each flower is centered by five black stamens which heighten the drama.
How to Grow and Care Borage grows best if direct seeded. Barely cover the seeds with soil and keep well watered. They are tolerant of any type soil, even poor dry soil. However a sunny location with rich, well draining soil is optimal. If you choose to start seedlings, transplant before they become pot bound. Plan to start seedlings about 3-4 weeks before the last expected frost and don’t transplant outdoors until the soil has warmed. Once seedling are about 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) tall, thin to approximately 12 inches (40 cm) apart. Plants in poor soil will benefit from periodic feeding with any fertilizer labeled for use on edible plants. Something with a high phosphorous number (the middle number on a fertilizer package) will help keep them in flower. Plants can be pinched or pruned, to encourage branching and to keep them shorter. Origin Garden origin.

Scientific Name Bomarea multiflora (L. f.) Mirb.
Common Names Vine Alstroemeria, Trailing Lily, Climbing Alstroemeria Synonyms Alstroemeria caldasii, Alstroemeria multiflora, Bomarea caldasii, Bomarea oligantha Scientific Classification Family: Alstroemeriaceae Tribe: Alstroemerieae Genus: Bomarea
Flower Color: Bright red to orange Bloom Time: Mid spring to early summer Description Bomarea multiflora is a multi-stemmed climber up to 6.6 feet (2 m), with narrow, oblong, mid- to light green leaves. The narrowly funnel-shaped flowers appear in rounded clusters from late spring to autumn, and are bright red to orange in color, orange or yellow inside, with red, brown, or grown spots, followed by lobed, bright red fruit.
How to Grow and Care To see Bomarea at their best they need a warm position with lots of sunlight (although can be grown under artificial lights). They are quite tough and the plants can survive milder areas if grown outside with roots that will survive to around 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) if a thick layer of mulch is provided but the plant may die back in prolonged cold periods but will recover by spring time when new growth emerges. Keep plants well watered in the summer months and when winter sets in you should only provide a bare minimum amount of water and the plant should be kept almost dry. Growing Bomarea from seed is not difficult as they have simple needs but a little preparation before the initial planting of the seed is sometimes recommended to yield the best results although the preparation is normally only needed for seeds that have been stored for longer periods. To propagate seeds successfully it is best to sow them in a well draining soil (50/50 mix of cactus compost and perlite will be fine) as soon as they are ripe or as fresh as possible in a propagator or warm greenhouse with temperature regulated at around 68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (20 to 25 degrees Celsius). Origin Native to Colombia and Ecuador.
