Some Of The Plants We Grow At Exotic Gardening Farm & Wildlife Habitat

by Sheri Ann Richerson

In this post I am going to share some photos of plants in my garden with you. I have realized that I take the photos, put them on my hard drive and never look at them again. It is time to stop doing that and start sharing. Please feel free to ask questions or leave comments on this post. We are all here to learn from one another.

The poppy in the photo above made it through the winter and has spread. I love this poppy so I am excited about that.

This is Zantedeschia aethiopica ‘Green Goddess’ that I grew from seed. I keep it in my cool greenhouse over the winter months.

This is Wisteria Amethyst Falls – and yes, it does bloom the first year. My plant is slow growing. In fact it is not even six feet long yet and I bought it back in 2004. It bloomed that first spring. It does have a slight fragrance but not real noticeable.

This is a Knock-Out Rose ‘Rainbow.’ It is my personal favorite from the Knock-Out family of roses because I like the different colors on one bush.

This is Rose ‘Purple Tiger.’ It really struggles to thrive here in my Indiana garden and I seriously doubt it made it through this past winter.

This is an antique rose and my absolute favorite but it never seems to thrive in my garden. It is Rose ‘Baronne de Rothschild.’ It is highly fragrant and a spring bloomer. It grows quite fast but then declines just as quickly.

Yea for "Amethyst Falls." More people should try our native wisterias.

@Douglas Hunt I love wisteria. I currently have "Amethyst Falls" and another variety growing that is quite aggressive. It is a "tree" wisteria I've had since 2002 but it has never bloomed. I've trimmed it and let it grow but neither has created blooms. Any suggestions? I'm pretty sure that is why more people don't grow wisteria but I have told everyone about "Amethyst Falls." It truly blooms the first year!

  @Sheri Ann Richerson Try root-pruning the recalcitrant wisteria in late fall, or an application of superphosphate in early spring.
