These little cuties are evergreen in our 7b area and have been known to bloom in January.

This is a good plant to have near the vegetable garden to attract bees.

This info is from FlowerFreak22: You can tell by looking at the margin of the leaves in your photo. You can see little light colored spots, that's where the spores will be produced. Also you can tell by looking at the color of the stem and where the leaf is closest to the stem it jets upward on one side. The large or the whole leaf is called a frond, the smaller leaflets are called pinnae, and the stem is called a rachis. Those terms only apply to ferns.

Fast grower in hot weather. Will cover a trellis quickly. Re-seeds readly, they come up early and do not mind being transplanted. Great for butterflies and bees.

I remember my Grandmother having these in her garden.
Then one day I saw it at nursery. I've been growing it ever since. It does have to have very warm soil to germinate, from reseeding. The seed is very fine like dust, remember to pull back the mulch.I also like the new trailing varieties in hanging baskets. They will bloom all summer with very little feritlizer. |

Easy to grow and propagate. Bulbs can be taken off large plants,
with no roots and potted, half out the soil. Kept in a shady spot and moist. They will root and be ready to put in the ground next year. |

Please note - the plant illustrated here is not Anthriscus sylvestris. It is Daucus carota, Wild carrot. The red flower in the centre is typical of this plant and is one of the main ways to identify it.

Novilty plant, climber grows easily from seed. Flower can be upto four inches long. The seed pods look like partly open umbrellas, adorable.

This is a hardy salvia. Can be invasive. Will bloom all summer into fall if cut back and deadheaded. Stands up well without support. The hummers do indeed love it, there are humming bird wars over it in my yard.
