Osteospermum

Sometimes called the African Daisy, this plant is a staple in my garden every year. I blooms from Spring to frost (and sometimes beyond!). The colors are amazing, and you can find several hybrids that are to die for!!!

Glorious Morning Glory!

This  prolific bloomer is one of the few real "true blue" flowers, and I love everything about them! From the trumpet shaped petals (that attracts hummingbirds!), to the fact that they climb on fences and posts makes this a must-have for any garden.

Black Velvet petunia!


 New within the past couple of years, this gorgeous hybrid petunia is so pretty paired with  a pink geranium.  Besides the all black, I have some with a yellow star and one with a pink stripe. And how cool is it that they were invented just a few miles down the road, in Le Sueur, MN

Calibrachoa

Calibrachoa is a trailing plant , which look like tiny petunias. The new hybrids come in double flowering ones, like the plant pictured here. They are sometimes called called million bells. Beautiful in hanging baskets or pots.

Calla Lilies

Calla lilies are so beautiful!  They do well in full sun, but if they are grown in partial shade, you'll get more blooms.

Daffodil

So unique in shape and color, the daffodil is yellow yumminess! Even though there are over 50 species the shape is always the same.   Blooms in early Spring!
