These are NOT hot peppers!

They are a Jalapeno with the heat bred out. These are as mild as Bell Peppers, but with a different (and in my opinion) much better flavor. Great for eating out of hand with sandwiches, added to salads, etc. I eat, and love, Jalapenos for their spice and flavor, but these peppers are great-eating as well, with no danger of heat for those that can't handle hot peppers.

The addition of larger amounts of nitrogen to the soil will give great results and will diminish the splitting issues with maples attributable to verticillium wilt.

This ajuga is not invasive like the more common Ajuga reptans, so it can be used for smaller areas and alongside pathways. A nice feature is that it thrives in both sun and bright shade and it's also cold hardy.

According to Annie's Annuals, the ferny foliage stays green throughout summer and it doesn’t go bald in the center like so many other yarrows, plus it's not invasive.

According to Annie's Annuals, it's quick to grow to 9-10’ tall but is easily pruned to any shape, especially to show off those silver-blue trunks & branches.

This bamboo supposedly doesn't do well in hot climate areas, but I've seen huge groves of it in a neighboring city. The drought has taken a toll on most of those groves, but mine has been doing pretty well. I've had it for three years and it's slowly starting to run. I get new shoots in spring and then a few more in fall.

The leaves of this plant can apparently mimic the leaves of the other plants growing nearby. News report of the discovery: http://news.sciencemag.org/bio...

This is a highly variable variety of M. acuminata. Quite a few patterns of variegation are known, as well as different shades of green, from dark to chartreuse. While each individual plant is generally color/pattern stable, pups will often differ significantly from the parent plant. The leaves will usually turn a solid green over the winter months, with warmer weather bringing a return of their previous year's pattern or color.

This plant is easy to grow if you keep a pan of water filled under the pot. Very, very sensitive to drying out.
