So plant purchases are done for the season. Heirloom tomatoes and purple peppers join two kinds of cherry tomatoes and blueberries and jalapeños and a fig tree. And even though I swore I won’t buy another high maintenance/winter delicate plant I got a beautiful hibiscus. The Hawaiian TI is new to me so we’ll see how it plays out. #plants #gardening #backyardlove #springtime #optimism #growyourown #blog
I love this plant. This is a Candy Cane Hibiscus that Matt and the girls got me for Mother’s Day probably 8 years ago. It has been in pots, planted in a bed, put back in a pot so we could move it and then planted again. The leaves alone are beautiful-variegated, pink, shades of green and white. When it’s blooming the flowers are similar but primarily reds. Last year it was planted and got to be a solid 6 ft tall. I was lazy this past winter and with the freezes thought I’d completely lost it. For now there’s a tiny pile of leaves at the base as it starts over. Grateful for the renewal! #gardening #lovemylife #blog #beautifulplants
