Hallson Gardens

Actually we had a very mild, almost snow-free winter. Some of my other plants (pansies, herbs) thrived all winter. I wish I could find more for this year.

I got tons of advice from this forum last fall, including identifying my beloved Mexican false heather. My 5 plants were still blooming their adorable purple flowers in early December, and I wanted to know what to do with them over the cold winter months in Maryland. Someone told me to trim them aft...

Yes, my kitties are adorable, even though they're 14 and 15, and the 14-year-old has been very ill the past 7 years. I'm lucky they still look and behave like kittens. Evidently there are lots of cute ones on this forum about perennials!? I especially like "looking-into-lens" kitty on the link.

It looks like Putnamgardens and Spider have it right. Thanks for the link, Spider, because I wanted to know how to care for them in the winter and spring. Based on the description without the picture, I never would've believed they were tropical evergreens because they have made it through 2 frosts ...

Thanks for your replies, but none of them rings a bell. I bought the plants at Lowe's, and they don't know what it is either. I saved the ID card from one of the pots but cannot find it.

I have a phone line connection, so this is tedious for me. Yes, I have 2 kitties, aged 14 and 15.

I planted this beautiful perennial in early summer, and it's still going strong, even after our first frost in Maryland. I bought 4 plants, and they have all fanned out 10-fold (and have sprouted new plants as well). It has shiny dark green leaves and is covered with tiny purple daisy-like flowers.
