[ Amaryllis (Hippeastrum 'Orange Sovereign') | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

Lovely shade of dark orange and the blooms are really large. I have mine planted in the ground in Mississippi and it comes back and blooms every year.

[ Lisianthus (Eustoma russellianum Lizzyâ„¢ Blue) | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

Beautiful deep blue flowers and silvery green leaves, does well in either sun or shade, lovely planted next to some yellow flowers. Does not get very tall, so needs to be planted at the front of the border.

[ Clematis (Clematis durandii) | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

Lovely shade of blue. You have to train and tie this one to a trellis or you can just let it ramble through the other plants.

[ Peacock Ginger (Kaempferia pulchra) | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

This plant needs to be in the shade. It does not grow very tall, so it needs to be at the front of the border. It has lovely pinkish-lavender blooms.

[ Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides 'August Beauty') | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

Beautiful double white blooms that smell heavenly. You can smell them long before you get to the plant. It can grow into a fairly large bush.

[ Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

I planted my magnolia when it was about a foot tall. I transplanted it from a friend's property and the first couple of years it did nothing. Then all of a sudden it started to take off. I have had mine for about 12 years now and it is now about 12 feet tall. It gets large white blooms that smell heavenly. They are all over southern Mississippi and it is the state tree.

[ Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus 'Oiseau Bleu') | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

This plant is a slow grower but well worth the wait. Lovely shade of light blue. Flowers about 3 inches large cover this bush every spring. In my zone of 8b it does not have to be mulched in the wintertime.

[ White Texas Star Hibiscus (Hibiscus coccineus 'Alba') | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

For me in Mississippi, this grows to about 10 feet tall with large showy white flowers. It is very easy to grow from seed. Each year I cut it back down to the ground in the winter and it comes back every spring.

[ Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Condilla') | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

I have a large clump of these and this year they started blooming in June and I had blooms constantly until the middle of September. Stalks are about 20 inches tall and the flower is about 4 inches. This is a beautiful shade of bright orange and it is a double flower.

[ Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Atlanta Full House') | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

My favorite of all the yellow daylilies that I have, with large sunny yellow blooms on stalks of about 25 inches tall. It is a good multiplier. The blooms are about 5 inches. Lovely next to some purple daylilies or other blue or purple flowers.

[ Blue Sky Vine (Thunbergia grandiflora) | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

I have mine on an arbor and in the spring it comes up from the ground and is a very fast grower. It starts blooming around July in my area. It is a beautiful shade of blue with a yellow throat. I cut mine back down to the ground in the winter time before the first frost hits and I also mulch it. Comes back every spring.

[ Cupid's Bower (Achimenes longiflora) | Posted on September 29, 2011 ]

These start out as rhizomes, which look very much like a small pine cone. My flowers are the blue ones, but they come in other colors as well. The blossoms are large on mine, over two inches, and they multiple over the years. The blooms last a couple of days. The plants bloom from about the end of July until the end of October. Plant them where they will get morning sun and afternoon shade.
