Sunflower - Ornamental Mix
The Sunflower Ornamental Blend, 'Helianthus annuus', is simply the prettiest combination of sunflowers we have ever seen. The Ornamental Blend includes Velvet Queen, Autumn Beauty, Lemon Queen, and Indian Blanket. The colors range from a soft, pretty lemon yellow to a dark velvety burgundy and from a orange/bronze bicolor to an almost endless other sunflower shades. Sunflowers make excellent cut flowers, are drought tolerant, and they bloom all summerPlant in the spring after the last average frost date. Sunflowers prefer full sun and they will grow in almost any soil. Although they are drought tolerant, they take considerable moisture. For best results water frequently. These sunflowers may need to be staked if they get too tall. ... more
Pepper - Chile - Cayenne Red The Pepper Chili Cayenne Red Long Thin 'Capsicum annuum', is an excellent hot flavoring for chili, other hot foods. A string of dried cayenne is an very attractive decoration. The pencil-thin Cayenne peppers are used fresh in hot sauces and chilies, died or ground for cayenne pepper or pepper flakes, as a flavor in oil and vinegar, and as a decoration. The plants are decorative garden plant with what seems like hundreds of peppers on each plant. Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Use gloves and do not touch any other part of the body after harvesting. Wash your hands immediately. |
