Write your opinion of this plant here...One of my favorite miniature plants! It is so sweet in person, makes you want to cry! Seriously though, it is a tiny miracle!

Echinops ritro is a nice plant with globe-shaped flower heads. The flowers have a nice sweet smell, also attracts various insects (especially bees).I grow a much larger and taller variety of Echinops which produces lots of flower heads and is better at attracting more insects, but this variety is ideal for the larger garden. I grow it in full sun or part shade. water when soil is dry.

What a gorgeous rose. I love the shade of pink and the simplicity of the bloom.

Great home eating grape for regions with cooler summers. Grape is green, sweet and seedless. The grapes ripen over an extended time making fresh grapes available for the table over a longer period of time. Grapes tend to be smaller, and will dry into raisins if extended dry period in the fall.

Used for jams, jellies, juice, and wines. Old varieties have seeds and fruit has rich flavor and dark purple color when ripe. Sweetens best after frost.

I have seen this growing wild in the worst and driest of conditions...a tough plant indeed!

In Pacific Northwest bloom starts in August and goes into fall.
Really hates being pruned. Have killed bushes twice by heavy pruning.

Used as butterfly host as well as a delicious bulb used in salad dishes. The bulb has a sweet crunch used in place of celery for a different twist to salads and meat (turkey) dressings.
