I got some seed of Mirabilis jalapa cultivars from Select Seed. They've reached flowering size and I'm rather pleased. Growing in pots, three to a container but anticipate that next year they'll want pots of their own. I had M. jalapa 'Limelight' years ago but somehow lost it. The chartreuse leaves and vivid magenta flowers are quite nice. 'Orange Crush' makes a good pairing with hemerocallis in appropriate colors, and also looks good near Canna 'Tropicana'. 'Alba' is a good clean white, sets off white variegated pelargonium. Now to figure out how to tag them for winter dormancy, avoiding a "mix and match" situation. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
