Annoying mums! They won't come out of my garden and the asters provide lots better fall color anyway. They are taking up my space and quickly becoming a weed. It is a beginners' plant for those who want to keep it there, and an expert's plant for those who want to get rid of it.

It wants wet soil, so gardeners in drier places may have to create a small pond, but hummingbirds love it so much that it's worth it!

A cute little cactus, it's fairly easy to care for if you're good at taking care of cacti, although I left mine in the care of my relatives for a week and it was in bad shape. So, overall, a good plant for the cactus gardener. Also, I have heard that it blooms from early spring to late summer, so that is what is listed, as it probably would outdoors, but my houseplant one blooms in December.
