Grass - Fiber Optic Grass
The Fiber Optic Grass, 'Scirpus cernus/aka Isolepsis cernus', is a bright green grasslike plant with small flowers at the stem tips. Perfect for use in container edges, borders and beds. Fiber Optic Grass is a cute little rush (formerly known as Scirpus cernuus) forming 10-12" clumps with fine hair-like blades that terminate with a little tuft of inflorescence. Isolepis really does resemble those fiber optic lamps, except it only comes in green. This grass indeed looks like it is a small clump of green stems with fiber optic bulbs on each end. Spruce up your hanging baskets with this unique plant. The blooms are white to near white. For zones 9-11, this plant can also be a perennial. ... more info
Tomato - Beefsteak The Tomato Beefsteak, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum', is an old favorite. The huge tomatoes can reach up to 2 pounds. This old favorite is for those who love meaty, thick, tasty, large tomatoes for sandwiches. They are also useful for almost any dish that would benefit from rich tomato flavor. The vines are so vigorous that we recommend wire cages to hold up the plants and tomatoes. The very short internodes make the compact plants easy to manage in the garden. The fruit has uniform shoulder color and consistently has good taste. Tomatoes should be planted outside after the last average frost date. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. Pole Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. |
