Doubled cosmosDoubled Cosmos ‘Double Click’. Cosmos ‘Double Click’. It’s hard to see how ‘Limara Yellow’.
one can improve on a cosmos, but Double Click does just that. And now they have redoubled the number of petals. Fluffy beauties on slen- der stems in white, pink and dark rose on 3-foot stems, theses cosmos will get comments from passersby. Cosmos ‘Yellow Garden’ and ‘Limara Lemon’. Two yellow cosmos, Cosmos sul- phureus, from Central America, these are very popular in Japan. ‘Yellow Garden’ is quite tall at four feet and it blooms in August and Sep- tember. ‘Limara Yellow’ is compact and only 8 inches tall, the smallest cosmos of them all.
‘Dwarf Yellow’. Something green Something green Delphinium elatam ‘Greentwist’. Ev-
eryone loves green flowers these days, es- pecially when it shows up unexpectedly. This delphinium will be a standout in your garden. The flowers are white with green features when young. Strong stems and vig- orous growth habit. Like afternoon shade.
Something blue Something blue Evolvulus glomerata. An old favou-
rite, Evolvulus ‘Blue Daze’ is a true blue and deserves a second look for that reason alone. But pair this with a gray green leaf cluster and a white cen- tre in the flower and you have a show- stopper. It can tend to get a bit leggy, so give it lots of sunlight and warmth and feed it well.
