Cantua buxifolia "Sacred Flower of the Andes"

It's Friday, and that means new plants! We have a batch coming in from Annie's Annuals & Perennials , including Cantua buxifolia "Sacred Flower of the Andes", pictured below. We haven't had this one in stock on some time - native to the Andes, it grows rather quickly in a sheltered, sunny spot to a sprawling 6' x 6' shrub. Check out the amazing blooms!!!!

Happy Sunday!

New plant day!

It's 'new plant day' at Johnnye Merle's! New arrivals today from Annie's Annuals & Perennials include all sorts of goodies: alonsoa, zinnias, dahlias, clematis, 'Day of the Dead' marigolds and much much more...including Briza media "Quaking Grass", pictured below! This easy to grow ornamental grass only gets to about a foot and a half tall, clumps (so it's not invasive!) & bears these awesome 'flowers' that look like little fairy lanterns, or the end of rattlesnake tails. Everyone always goes crazy over it when it blooms in our gardens! Super cute!
