Winter is definitely upon us! But we can think spring and explore new plant possibilities. Do you have an area in the garden you would like to try something different? Then I have some new ideas for you.
As you look over your plant catalogs, look for this exciting plant. Zahara Starlight Rose Zinnia is an All America Selection winner. The rose and white bicolor blooms will brighten up your garden. Zahara resists leaf spot and mildew and is heat and drought tolerant. Mature plants are 12 to 14 inches tall and wide. Think about adding Zahara to those large containers for the patio or plant Zahara in the front of the landscape border.
Another fun plant to look for is Heatwave Glimmer Sage. The tall blooms are white and especially good for contrast in the garden. Heatwave has a longer bloom time and quickly reblooms from spring until frost. Plants are disease resistant and drought tolerant. Try Heatwave in perennial borders and patio containers. You will find these plants to be fast-growing. Mature plants reach 30 inches in height and 36 inches in width.
