Profusion Cherry Zinnia

I work part time at Johnson's Strawberry Farm & Garden Center so this year I decided to try planting something different other than my usual petunias and impatients. For this planter I chose Profusion Cherry Zinnias, Vinca, & Polka Dot Plants.

These all do great in sunny areas, and they are very easy to maintain.

Streptocarpella


Working in a greenhouse, I see alot of beautiful plants. I had been looking for something different to hang on my covered porch, and just had to have this.


Usually, I go with impatients, but this year I found this streptocarpella hanging bag, and I couldn't buy it fast enough.

The fuzzy foliage is deep green and the pretty flowers are delicate and very violet-like.
They seem to float above the leaves.

If you have a nice shady spot, I recommend looking for a streptocarpella!
