I noticed that Brent and Becky's summer catalog is now on line, and have been putting my wish list together. Curious what others are finding tempting, and how you're considering using them.
Zephranthes have become a favorite of mine, they're so easy to grow in containers, and increase beautifully. Thus far I've only grown the pink Z.robustus, but would like to try the white Z.candida, and yellow Z.citrina and Z.flavissima this year.
Eucomis (Pineapple Lily) is another favorite I find easy to grow in containers. E. autumnalis and E.montana are the ones I've been growing for a few years, as well as E.bicolor, although that one hasn't performed as well as the others. 'Sparkling Burgundy' has to be added this year! The expense has kept me from ordering it, but I can't wait any longer, LOL. Also considering 'Pole Evansii' that is said to grow 3-6' tall- what a statement that would make!
'Twinkle Stars' also looks very promising.
Galtonia candicans, the Summer Hyacinth, has always intrigued me. I'm curious if any of you have any experience with this plant? They're said to be hardy to zone 5 and fragrant, so definitely sounds worth trying!
What summer offerings are you considering?
