Plantings

Category: Flowers and Vegetables | Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2007 1:18 am

I bought a perennial verbena today. It is pink, I think the name is Rapunzel Pink. It is loaded with clusters of buds. It is also starting to root at the little nodes along the stem. In two years it will probably cover the whole side of the bed where I have it plantd. I have a society garlic I planted there also and put hot pink vinca inbetween them and on around the curve of the bed. If I get really industrious I will finish going around the bed and widen it like I did here and plant other things. I think I will get some moss roses to plant in front of the vinca along the edge of the bed. This fall I will take tip cutting of the verbena so next year I can go all the way around the bed with it. This will eventually be my pink and white bed.

A pink and white bed sounds wonderful Sharon. The moss roses should look great.

Somehow I expected a 'Cajunbelle' to have a pink and white bed.
I am more of a red and black gal with some orange thrown in for highlights. :)

Here's hoping you can get the picture thing figured out soon so we can see it, it does sound pretty.

I guess it's the Southern heritage coming out Toni. Pink has always been my favorite color for flowers, although I really do like all colors.

Glenda, I am going to get Regina, my tech expert, to find something else we can use.

Kats, with a garden one is always busy. You and Ron seem to never stop, always another project, just like here.
