Mullein - Jackie
The Verbascum Jackie, 'Verbascum hybridum', also known as Mullein, a Proven Winners selection, has masses of copper colored buds which open to pale cantaloupe blooms with pink overtones. The stalks arise off of fuzzy gray-green leaves, which add contrast to the flower color. ‘Jackie’ has a plant height of 16-18” and a plant spread of 1-2’ and blooms from late spring into summer. Removing spent flowers to encourage additional bloom time. This low maintenance perennial requires dry to medium soil and should be planted in full sun for best results. Verbascum will tolerate a wide range of soil conditions but must have good drainage or it could be fatal. ‘Jackie’ can be planted in rocky slopes to add color, as a border plant or in cottage gardens. ... more
Ajuga - Mahogany Bungleweed The Ajuga , Mahagoney Bugleweed, Ajuga reptans Mahogany, is a robust Ajuga with a flat trailing habit and shiny, short-stemmed leaves. The lush, almost black-burgundy, glossy leafed foliage will turn to a deep rich Mahogany color and turns even darker and more lustrous during the winter months. Mahagany Bugleweeds display lovely bright blue flower panicles in the spring. This Ajuga does best in fertile, well-drained soil. A site in morning sun and afternoon shade, or in filtered light allows this ajuga to really look its best. It is excellent when used for borders and in mixed containers, as well as in areas where grass is shade-challenged. Space 6-12" apart when used as a groundcover. |
