I love growing Stachytarpheta mutabilis so much that this year, I bought purple, pink and the coral. Although they are annual in my climate, they are very statuesque. You can't go wrong either with Canna 'Australia.' The dark foliage is a great foil for everything else. Happy Bloom Day Les. I hope you're having fun in your garden.~~DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-21722033279483127852013-06-16T16:42:13.687-04:002013-06-16T16:42:13.687-04:00I planted Cuphea for the first time in May, but I&...I planted Cuphea for the first time in May, but I'll bet they're happier in your tidewater climate.

It feels like they have a little secret from me.
