What are you GLAD you planted?
Well, since the "what do you wish you'd never planted" post seemed so popular, I thought I try and see what people really liked that they planted in their garden and why.
I really enjoy the Spanish lavender that I planted this Spring. The fragrance was wonderful and I could smell it blowing in the air. Although Home Depot sold the plants as perrenials, I am told by folks on the forum that it will not survive the winter here in zone 6. How sad. So next year I will try the hardier French lavender.
I also love the caladiums I planted. My doggie died this summer :-( and we planted "Angels Wings" and "Heart of Jesus" near his grave. They are beautiful. Again, Home Depot sold the plants as perrenials, I am told by folks on the forum that it will not survive the winter here in zone 6. This makes me really sad. I'll try to cover them with mulch in hopes of them surviving.
