A vegetable masquerading as ornamental, these
tall accent plants have burgundy pods, bright red
stems and red tinged leaves. Best harvested
when small(3-4"). All America Winner that is
useful in the border and in the cottage garden.
REALLY COOL LOOKING.
Pale yellow 4 " flowers with maroon eye on 3’
plant are very showy. Pinch it early on to create
a full, bushy plant. Keep seed pods from forming
until the end of August for continuous bloom.
Great with other plants that pick up the maroon
highlight.
A lovely dwarf mounding plant with soft glowing
1" apricot bell shaped flowers with a red calyx
that bloom constantly. Makes a great front of the
border plant in groups of 3 or more. Better in the
border because it can be messy as a container
plant.
This bushy upright plant has 2 " bell shaped
flowers of luxurious Merlot wine red. When you
first plant it, pinch the tips to encourage a bushy
shape. The bold flowers are held high on the
plant.

growth is studded with pendulous peachy pink
bells. Easily pinched to maintain form. Nice to
brighten up a partial shade location.
1" red & yellow lantern-type blooms hang below

look sun dappled. Blooms all season and can
take some drought. Nice in a hanging basket or
window box where you can admire the flowers
that are like colorful earrings.
A mounding, pendulous plant that has brilliant
red fuzzy catkins, hence the common name of
Chenille Plant. Use this in window boxes and as
a hanging accent in container plantings. A
window box in combination with Caladium Miss
Muffet got rave reviews.
A Florida plant that works well in combination
planters. The long, fuzzy red tails are
reminiscent of Amaranthus Love-Lies-Bleeding
but the plant is a woody shrub.

with white blooms and dark red/maroon marking
in the throat. A tender bulb from Africa, it blooms
in August, the heavenly fragrance continues until
hard frost. Plant near windows to enjoy the scent
wafting on the evening breeze.
This hardy sedge-like flag has variegated
strappy leaves of green & yellow. It makes a
good addition to containers for grass-like texture.
It is great in shade brightening up and forming
nice clumps of contrast.
The dramatic succulent rosettes in deep
burnished maroon look Dr. Suess-like. These are
more common out west but make such an
unusual accent here, I like to use them for
combinations in strategic locations. Very drought
resistant.

This is a wonderful culinary pepper that happens
to be stunning. The hot 1-2” fruits ripen through
claret red to a deep maroon red bordering on
black. Underused.
Nice, thick walled fruits ripen early and turn to
red early. Great for pickling.
Gorgeous, long, slender cayenne peppers are
brilliant red and turn early. Dries well for hot
pepper flakes. Handsome and yummy.
These plants were from seeds brought back from
Chile. The pepper is thick walled, flavorful and
hot, although the heat varies red fruits are the
best. Prefers light shade and fertile soil. Watch
for standard pepper pests. ENJOY! This is a
favorite of my friends in Guatemala, in salsa and
cooked in soups.
