New Flower & Foliage Plant for 2008

View Full-Size Those cleaver plant breeders keep playing with a plant’s best feature and making them better: a dark leaved hibiscus, a tri-color ornamental corn and a foxglove that faces up are some of new annual flowers we’ll see in seed catalogs and nurseries this spring. Keep in mind that although new plants are tested in gardens across hardiness zones, until you actually grow them in your garden, you won’t know how they perform. Soil, weather, and even the attention of the gardener are all variables that will effect how well any grows. So put these to the test and then let me know what you grew and how it did.
