A Greek name meaning Saffron scented, attributed to fragrance given off when dried flowers are put in water. Brilliantly colored flowers with deep green leaves. Ideal for cut flowers. Plant in a sunny spot. Grow them in large groupings for a beautiful, eye-catching statement in your garden. Crocosmia love rich, well-drained soil and once established in the garden, they will multiply rapidly. Hardy in zones 5-8; elsewhere mulch heavily for winter. ... more
Geranium - Southcombe Double The Geranium Southcombe Double, 'Geranium oxonianum', displays fully double, pure pink blooms that sit atop bright green stems. There are only a few double-geraniums in cultivation and don't look like a Geranium at first glance. Geraniums are grown in almost any soil as long as it is not wet. They are perfect in the perennial border and work well as a ground cover too. This plant would look wonderful in a pot on a sun-drenched porch and is also deer resistant.
