ROSES
Fragrant and ever so romantic, ever-blooming roses as patio trees or climbers and shrubs are a great way to fill in bare spots in the yard.
HYDRANGEA
Lacecap hydrangeas in bouquets or in the garden are more feminine and frilly than the big ball mopheads.
LOVE-LIES-BLEEDING
Love-lies-bleeding, a true Victorian amaranth grown from seed as an annual was treasured for its sentimental name and long red dangling flowers.
GERANIUMS
Zonal geraniums were popularized during Victorian times and became the most popular of all window-box flowers. A heat loving summer bloomer, these and the dangling ivy forms are your best bet for instant color that holds in a heat wave.
