I've put a decidedly Halloween twist on my desk's right hand side, considering that the stores are putting all their pumpkins out. Bog Witch to Halloween Party City mode: Engage! (The shaky hand is a feature, not a bug.)

Succulents Part 5--Garden Impatiens
Succulents are a wide variety of plants, spanning multiple orders. Some have succulent leaves while others have succulent stems. Cactuses are succulents, but not all succulents are cactuses. Defining what exactly makes a succulent is a little tricky. For example, cabbage leaves are considered by some to be succulent, but tulip and onion leaves apparently aren't.
All photos mine. Unedited.

Impatiens are stem succulents. I once brought home a whole tray from the garden centre I worked at because they were going to be thrown out, having dropped all their leaves. But the stem bases were still strong and I thought they deserved a chance. My grandmother set half aside, saying they would make it for sure. She separated out another quarter, saying she wasn't sure. And the last quarter she thought probably wouldn't make it. But she watered them all and paid special attention to them and as it happened the whole tray made it!

hiya! i work in/manage a greenhouse too (maybe half the size of yours i think?) i was wondering if you had any favorite basket or planter combos you made up this year!
i did a few combos i really loved- antique double salmon geranium with a fern and baby tears pilea
peachy keen verbena, double orange superbells, salmon sunpatiens, vista bubblegum petunia, and silver falls dichondra
really im just a sucker for everything in the peach/salmon/coral/pinks
Yeah!! It's hard to remember to take pictures but this year my favorites have been pinks-blue-yellow but also purples with silver.
In total I designed uhhhhh ~350 cone hanging baskets, ~450 planters of varying sizes, 140 big coco fiber baskets, and 50 big moss baskets. Most of those had 10 of each design. So??? Almost 1000 different designs.
So it is tough to choose a favorite lol or remember which was which.
I really like Salvia Icon Blue as a central thriller, then Petunia Miss Marvelous and Dekko Lavender Eye and Lobularia Stream Lavender as fillers, plus Dichondra.
Also I used Big Eeze Geraniums with Dekko petunias again for the big combos and that worked very nicely! Dekkos are a little smaller so resemble Callies but are more vigorous and less aphid-prone. A combo of those with trailing coleus fills in a huge basket well. Also Diamond frost as a filler. Lysimachia sunburst as a trailer.
Bridal Veil and swedish ivy as shade trailers! Spider plants as well! We have stock plants of all three and they grow super wonderfully. For smaller planters, wire vine, though I didn't use much this year.
And my classic and best selling mix is just. Dragonwing begonia, mixed seed impatiens, and ipomea or trailing coleus. I've found that most customers prioritize lots of colors and flowers over anything else in terms of planter design so impatiens mixes are a big seller even though they're pretty basic
Also, I went heavy on the double impatiens this year. I hate them so much they are so messy and dramatic once it gets hot in the greenhouse but they grow fast and fill in so nicely.
If I could get begonias to grow quickly enough, I'd use them, because I feel like they're the real mvp of summer baskets for longevity but unfortunately, I'm growing for looking good pre-Mother's Day. Anything but dragonwings just can't compete in a mixed basket in early spring.
Anyway lol

What: Open starter
Where: Blooming Acres Garden Center
Now, what would look better in the pots in front of her house, Begonias or Impatiens? Liv had that same question for herself every spring when she was trying to decide what to plant. She loved gardening and had quite the green thumb, but she could be very indecisive. She needed an outsider's opinion, so asking the next person she saw was the plan. "Excuse me, which one do you like better? The orange ones or the purple ones?" She asked, pointing to each flat of flowers. "I've been staring at these for far too long and I'm finding it impossible to choose."

21 April 2024
Spent my Christmas gift cards today. In the front went four coleuses. The Chocolate Velveteen blends in with the dirt, but it’s between the large bleeding heart and the birdbath base. Spiced Curry is dead center, Coleosaurus (which is a fantastic name) is just above the purple coral bell on the right side. The Great Falls Yosemite is tucked between the nandina bush and the alliums on the stair side of the path.
Tumblr media
Filled both over-the-railing planters with impatiens. Went lavender and light pink this year.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the back, I filled in no-man’s land with annuals. Got two more lantana (yellow and white with yellow centers), and three angelonia (pink, white, and purple).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And filled the last empty spaces between the flagstones. White Star Creeper in the middle, County Park pratia around the big paver.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chives and alliums about to bloom.

I had the best Saturday today because yesterday I got a seed catalogue in the mail and so I spent hours today choosing annual flower seeds for the coming summer 💜 It may be -20 c/-5 f outside right now, and the summer may be many months away yet, but today I could practically smell the summer and the flowers 🌼🌺🌻
I chose callistephys chinensis 'duchess ice blue', rudbeckia hirta var. pulcherrina 'cherry brandy', brachycome iberidifolia 'little missy', antirrhinum majus 'antiquity' mixed, impatiens walleriana 'safari' mix, cosmos bipinnatus 'xanthos', zinnia elegans 'purple prince', lathyrus odoratus 'balcony' mixed, tagetes patula 'yellow jacket', scabiosa atropurpurea 'black knight', callistephus chinensis 'milady'
I'm also sowing seeds that I bought last year - more cosmos, zinnias and others.

Native to eastern East Africa, from Kenya to Mozambique, impatiens was recently introduced to Tahiti as an ornamental plant for its beautiful, colorful white, pink or red flowers
Initially this plant was named “Sultan Impatience” in honor of the Sultan of Zanzibar. Its botanical name has since been revised to impatiens walleriana , but it has retained the name Sultana in Anglo-Saxon countries. She also goes by the names of Impatiens, Impatience, Balsamine and Bizzy Lizzy.
Impatiens is a relatively fast growing perennial herb. Its stems, fleshy and sips of sap, can reach between 50 cm in height. Its leaves, oval and finely toothed, are green and shiny with a central vein. The flowers appear in groups of two or three in the upper part of the plant. They are asymmetrical and flat, have between 2 and 5 cm in diameter and have five petals in shades of pink, red, purple, white, and even two-tone in some varieties. The fruits are capsules containing numerous seeds which explode when touched.

Planted the red and lavender double impatiens yesterday and now here is a pic. My garden is set for now. Meanwhile the forsythia is trading in yellow flowers for green leaves.
Meanwhile my mom got these beautiful black petunias that I can’t put in my yard because of the shade when the leaves grow in. They’re actually so deeply purple they look black; here are some pictures:

Went to Portland Nursery today. Got some lovely plants and a new watering can. I got orange calla lily, red begonias, red leaf coleus, pink geranium, and purple impatiens. I'm so happy and can't wait to plant them on my patio. I need to re-pot my hostas as well they need a deeper pot, but they are growing fast already! Sorry these pictures are so badly staged and you can see how messy things are here, lol. (The small pink flowers in that white vase are fake flowers from Ikea, please ignore them)
