Geranium – Tiny Monster

The Geranium ‘Tony Monster Hybrid of G. sanguineum, is sterile so it flowers nonstop June through August. The blooms are large and are a bright magneta color. Tony Monsters originated from the nursery of Germany’s famous Countess Helen Von Stein. Along with its prolific blooms it stands to reason that it is a vigorous grower. For best results, plant in a dry to moist area in a well drained site. The Geranium family is well known for its stunning fall colors that include reds, oranges, and yellows. It is a superb plant for cottage gardens, container growing, borders or informal borders in mass plantings. There is an attraction to bees and butterflies andit is very disease and deer resistant.

Nasturtium – Alaska

The Nasturtium Alaska, ‘Tropaeolum minus has beautiful flowers in shades of yellow, orange, mahogany, and cream with light green, marbled foliage. Every salad should have edible Nasturtium and Viola flowers in it! Nasturtium leaves are edible. Nasturtiums perform well in bad soil, but are comfortable in average garden soil that is not overly fertile. When the blossom passes its peak, pinch off to the base of the stem. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date or fall plant in warmer climates. Nasturtiums are used for edging and borders and can be grown inside. These plants will also deter whiteflies, squash bug, and rabbits.
