Over the last week, I finally got around to actually purchasing and plantings some plants.
The missus wanted some mint, so I got three varieties: Doublemint (Mentha 'Doublemint'), Kentucky Colonel (Mentha spicata 'Kentucky Colonel') and Red Stem Applemint (Mentha x gracilis ‘Madalene Hill’).
I finally found Salvia coccinea 'Summer Jewel Red' (I had been looking for it since early last year) and will likely return to get more.
Correction: On revisit to nursery, discovered that they were the more commonly available 'Lady in Red' variety (so it looks like I'll be going with that!)
I also decided to try Cobweb Spiderwort (Tradescantia sillamontana) in three places with different soil types and shade levels. It'll be interesting to see to which it adapts to best.
I got the Yucca 'Color Guard' (Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard') to replace the Twin-flowered Agave that failed to survive the winter.
Some annuals finally made an appearance with Coleus 'Red Red Wine' getting a pot of it's own.
