Plant Associations It is sad to reflect that in England so few gardens open to the public label their plants or label them so that the label is visible when that plant is in flower, so that visitors can identify; and then later locate and purchase that plant. Few mail-order nurseries provide the detail as shown in my rose or heather galleries. If you want to sell a product, it is best to display it. When I sold my Transit van, I removed its signage, cleaned it and took photos of the inside and outside before putting them onto an advert in Autotrader amongst more than 2000 other Transit vans - it was sold in 20 minutes. If mail-order nurseries could put photos to the same complexity from start of the year to its end with the different foliage colours and stages of flowering on Wikimedia Commons, then the world could view the plant before buying it, and idiots like me would have valid material to work with. I have been in the trade (until ill health forced my Sole Trader retirement in 2013) working in designing, constructing and maintaining private gardens for decades and since 2005 when this site was started, I have asked any nursery in the world to supply photos. R.V. Roger in Yorkshire allowed me to use his photos from his website in 2007 and when I got a camera to spend 5 days in July 2014 at my expense taking photos of his roses growing in his nursery field, whilst his staff was propagating them. I gave him a copy of those photos. |

Coleus (Solenostemon scutellaroides) Supplier |
|
|
|
|
|
59 results from Royal Horticultural Society. Coleus plants are durable and easy to grow. They are best known for their bright colors, and variety of foliage forms. Technically, they are a tender perennial but they are usually considered an annual plant by growers and seed producers. Coleus plants should be grown in the garden in bright, indirect light, or in partial shade. The lower growing dwarf varieties (6-12 inch) will create a colorful border, or you can use the taller (up to 36") types as a dramatic background planting.Many Coleus plants will survive full sun exposure but the foliage color is often enhanced when they are grown in the shade. Coleus are also quite striking when they are planted in a container and grown as a house plant. |

Whilst perennial, it is frost tender so either needs to be grown in the garden as an annual where it will flower almost continually until the first frosts knock it down - or lifted from the garden and grown on as a houseplant for the Winter where it will continue to flower and please. |

|
Fragrant; prefers rich soil, requires little care. Temperate perennials usually grown as annuals and growing a heliotrope plant will be an additional pleasure for those who live in places with hot, dry summers. They are drought and heat tolerant and deer hate them. Today, heliotrope flowers come in varieties of white, purple and pale lavender.

Pelargonium x hortorum (Garden Geranium, Zonal Geranium) Supplier |
|
|
|
|
|
In St. Louis, grow as annuals directly in the ground or in containers that may be sunk to the rim in garden areas or in containers, hanging baskets or window boxes. Group or mass in beds and borders. Edging along walks or paths. Pinch stems to prevent legginess and promote bushiness. Although plants may be overwintered indoors, many gardeners simply grow them as annuals and repurchase new plants each spring. Dead-heading of spent inflorescences allows for continuous bloom throughout the Summer. |
|
This plant is called "Garden geranium" in English. Scientific name is "Pelargonium x hortorum". It's called "Pelargon" in Swedish. Categories: Flower, annual, ornamental potted-plant. Image taken by Martin Olsson, 6th of June 2005 (mnemo on wikipedia and commons, martin@minimum.se). |

Provide moist, well-drained soil in full sun with some afternoon shade. In cooler zones, grow in a warm or temperate greenhouse or treat as annuals. |
Ann Cl H |
This tender perennial climber is evergreen in Zones 10 and warmer. Where grown as an annual, plants can reach 8 feet; when grown as a perennial, 20 feet. In warmer climates, grow perennial climbers along permanent structures and shrubs in mixed borders. A butterfly, Junonia ovithya, or the eyed pansy, and moths also visit these plants to lay eggs, for the larvae eat the leaves. Hence this creeper, being attractive to insects, helps bring birds into a garden. Birds also often nest in the thickly tangled stems. |
Use in Trellises, arbors, fences or other structures around the home. Also effective in hanging baskets where the vine can twist around the basket supports or in patio containers with a small trellis or obelisk burried in the container. Soak Black-Eyed Susan Vine seed in water for 12 hours, then sow in 2 in. pots or cell packs, press into soil and completely cover. Kept at 75-80°F., germination is in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings into the garden 12-18 in. apart, after all danger of frost. |

Antirrhinum (Snapdragon) |

Yellow |
|
A short-lived perennial in some soils and best treated as an annual. No plant has been more truly improved for garden use. It is now (1916) grown in 4 distinct sizes, and every year more new and beautiful varieties are being produced. For ordinary border use the tall and intermediate heights are the most generally useful. The dwarfs do well on rock work or where a short edging is required. In the south and west they can be grown as biennials, but for general use it is best to sow in early February in slight heat, to prick off into shallow boxes, and plant out in May. They are some of the best things for dry wall, when they can be planted small or sown in the joints. |

Helianthus (Sunflowers) |
|
Yellow |
|
Sunflower is pollinated by bees and some farmers place bee colonies in sunflower fields which produce honey as a by-product. Sunflower meal is sometimes used as a substitute for wheat flour in the baking of bread and cakes for human consumption. The indigenous people of North America have a long tradition of using ground sunflower seeds to make bread-like products. Easy to grow, branching habit so great for cut flowers. A charming flower for the youngsters to have a go at growing. |

Althaea rosea (Alcea rosea, Hollyhock, Common Hollyhock) |
72-96 x 12-24 |
The flowers are a range of colours from white to dark red, including pink, yellow and orange. |
Jun-Aug |
Althaea rosea is the grand Hollyhock so well known in gardens; both the single and double are among the very finest border plants. The variety Althaea ficifolia (Antwerp Hollyhock), is rather slimmer and more graceful in growth; of this the white and pale yellow forms are the best. Hollyhocks are gross feeders, thriving with any kind of strong manure. It should be dug in deep down for the roots to find gradually; when coming into flower they should also have frequent applications of liquid manure. They are extremely liable to the attack of the mallow fungus Puccinia malvacearum. When the pest appears they should be frequently sprayed with a full pink-coloured solution of permanganate of potash or 1 of the many ready-made fungicides. In strong loamy or chalky soils they are generally immune. Hollyhocks are really perennials, but they are commonly grown as biennials. |

Jun-Sep |
68 results from Royal Horticultural Society. Das Elisabeth Linné-Phänomen, or the Elizabeth Linnæus Phenomenon, is the name given to the phenomenon of "Flashing Flowers". Especially at dusk, the orange flowers may appear to emit small "flashes". Once believed to be an electrical phenomenon, it is today thought to be an optical reaction in the human eye caused by the contrast between the orange flowers and the surrounding green. The phenomenon is named after Elisabeth Christina von Linné, one of Carl Linnaeus's daughters, who discovered it at age 19. All its parts are edible. The flower has most often been consumed, making for an especially ornamental salad ingredient; it has a slightly peppery taste reminiscent of watercress, and is also used in stir fry. The flowers contain about 130 mg vitamin C per 100 grams (3.5 oz), about the same amount as is contained in parsley. Moreover, they contain up to 45 mg of lutein per 100 gr, which is the highest amount found in any edible plant. The unripe seed pods can be harvested and dropped into spiced vinegar to produce a condiment and garnish, sometimes used in place of capers. |

Argemone grandiflora (White Prickly Poppy) is a handsome plant with white Poppy-like flowers and prickly foliage much like a Sea-Holly; nearly 36 inches (90 cms) high. Being a native of Mexico it enjoys a warm soil and hottest exposure. Argemone mexicana (Mexican Poppy) is a plant of much the same habit and appearance, but smaller and with pale yellow bloom - though poisonous to grazing animals, is rarely eaten. |

Hardy Annual or Half-Hardy Annual. Bartonia aurea is best known by this name, though it is more properly Mentzelia Lindleyi. It can be sown in the open in autumn or in April, but is best raised in slight heat and treated as a half-hardy annual. The flowers are yellow. |

Calendula officinalis (Pot Marigold) |
18 (45) |
Orange |
One of the brightest and best of our annual plants, about 18 inches (45 cms) high. There are several named varieties, but by far the best is the double, deep orange-coloured form called Orange King. It may be sown where it is to bloom either in autumn or spring. It does well in poor or sandy soil. |

Celosia plumosa (Celosia argentea var plumosa, Plumed Cockscomb, The Feathered not the Crested Cockscomb) |
6-36 (15-90) |
Red, Orange, Yellow, Violet, White, Pink |
Jul-Oct |
Celosia is most commonly represented in gardens by the magenta Cockscomb of greenhouses, a plant unbeautiful both of form and colour. The featherd kinds, in which the flower has the form of an upright plume, when the harsh crimson colouring to which they naturally incline can be avoided, are handsome plants both for garden and greenhouse, in colourings of red and yellow. As they begin to show bloom in quite a small state the bad ones can be picked out. But they need careful growing. Sow towards the end of March, keep close to the light, and as they increase in size give successive shifts. Push on in heat, and harden off carefully before putting out. As rapid growth is required, they should be repotted in rich soil. Use for cut flowers and dried flowers. The leaves and flowers are edible and are grown for such use in Africa and Southeast Asia. Non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses. |

China Aster (Callistephus hortensis, Callistephus chinensis) |
24-36 (60-90) |
Purple with Yellow centre |
Jul-Sep |
Among the large numbers offered in seed lists it may appear, at first sight, difficult to make a choice, but for general garden use the kinds that may be most confidently recommended are the varieties of the Victora, Comet, and Ostrich Plume groups, and of these, those of the so-called blue and white colourings. The "blues" are various shades of light and dark purple, all of good quality. Mammoth, formerly known as Vick's White, is a capital late kind of large bloom and tall habit, excellent for cutting. The typw plant Callistephus hortensis, purple with yellow centre, is also good for cutting and for garden use. China Asters are sown in March in slight heat, pricked off in boxes, and planted out at the end of May in well-prepared beds. They require rich soil that has been deeply dug. |

Yellow, orange, red, maroon, purple, brown, white and cream |
Wallflowers are so well known that they need not be described. There are many garden varieties, but among the best are some good strain of Blood Red and the shorter kind named Vulcan, of intense red-brown colour and bushy habit. The old Purple should not be neglected, it is better in some combinations of plants than the redder variety obtained from it, named Ruby Gem; Fire King is a gorgeous colour and Yellow Phoenix a fine yellow. Primrose Dame is a pretty pale yellow; other colourings of the single Wallflowers will be found in trade lists. The early Paris kinds are valuable. The double German kinds, especially those of full and pale yellow colourings, are extremely desirable in the spring garden; their massive spikes are of fine appearance and they last longer than any other spring flower. Wallflowers should be sown out of doors in May, preferably in rather poor soil trodden firm; this keeps the plants compact and of strong constitution. They are best put out in any damp weather in July if the place for spring flowers is dedicated to them only, but if they have to follow bedding plants they must wait till October or November. In any case they must not be allowed to grow large and rank before they are put in the places where they are to bloom. |
