Verbesina
|
Verbesina microptera (Mexican Winged Crown-Beard)
Sun Zone: 7-9 120" tall Origin: Mexico
Do you need something bold in your garden and can't afford a bronze of Dennis Rodman? Try a Mexican verbesina. This steroidal version of our small-stature US native was collected by Yucca Do in Mexico (coll #T72-75). After years of trials, we have been thrilled with its performance. Each 10' tall giant is composed of amazing, thick, green, heavily-winged stems that are clothed with 15" long, mitten-like leaves...reason enough to grow this gem. In late October, these massive clumps are topped with 1' wide clusters of small, bright yellow daisies that are deliciously fragrant. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #04731

Vinca minor '24 Carat' PP 20,289 (Golden Vinca Minor)
Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 4-8, at least 4" tall Origin: Europe, Asia alternate image
NEW!
This recent discovery at Georgia's Itsaul Plants occurred as a branch mutation on typical Vinca minor where the new foliage emerges bright gold before fading to green. Vinca '24 Carat' is slightly less vigorous than its green counterpart, but adds a nice brightness to the woodland garden as the new growth emerges. The groundcover is topped with light blue flowers in late spring. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #08776
