Fuchsia - Golden Marinka
Besides patio planters and mixed container gardens, they do extremely well in beds and borders. The flowers, which are produced during the summer and early fall, are droopy and come in many colors. They are great plants for greenhouses, window boxes, baskets, homes, and flower beds. Fuchsias do not like to dry out. This Proven Selections plant blooms all summer long. The Fuchsia Golden Marinka, 'Fuchsia hybrid', is a heat tolerant hybrid. For zones 9-11, this plant can also be a perennial. The Golden Marinka has lovely red flowers and golden variegated leaves on a mounding trailing plant. Fuschia is one of the Hummingbirds favorite flowers. Along with outstanding heat tolerance, they also feature upright growth habits, lovely single flowers, and fantastic colors. Keep the soil moist to the touch from spring through autumn. In many parts of the country (and especially if planted in a hanging pot) the fuchsia will require daily watering. ... get more information
Tomato - Jet Star Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Jet Stars have large tomatoes that have few scars or cracks. Jet Star is a great slicing variety. Tomatoes should be planted outside after the last average frost date. This early variety is compact and provides good flavor and low acidity. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. The indeterminate vines produce heavily with or without support, but support is recommended. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. |
