This transformation amazes me. I’m debating on planting these Vista Silverberries by Proven Winners in my garden again. I expect my garden will take off and go nuts this year with all the yummy leaf mulch added to the soil now and then. The picture above was in Marchish 08 when we moved in.
June 08!
July 08 when I went nuts and planted a ton of sunflowers in the bed. Nuttiest thing I ever did but it was pretty while it lasted until a storm came along and destroyed them.
And then in September 08. I love the Purple Fountain Grass with the Vista Silverberry. The pink tones play with each other nicely. The throat of the Silverberry is a blueish pink depending on the temperature…more blue in cooler climates. I measured this petunia at over 10ft in diameter. I know I can garden but my goodness!!…that is a big petunia. It took the drought and kept on blooming like this from frost to frost and then some. Our first few frost of November did not affect it but I took it out anyway. The Purple Fountain Grass was burned by the frost and I took it all out at once during a nice warm day in Novemeber.
Supertunia Vista Silverberry by Proven Winners for 2009. It also comes in bubblegum pink! I think I could use it in the back where it is hot and dry. It sure makes a statement.
