One of the 5 Worst Plants?

Can you believe that someone would have the summer poinsietta as one of the 5 worst plants?

If you read the comments, you may have seen where Sissy alerted me to that. (By the way, if you don't read comments, you miss really getting to know everyone. In my humble opinion, comments are one of the best parts of a blog.)

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion (humble or otherwise), but I can't imagine anyone thinking a plant with such spectacular foliage could be one of the 5 worst.

I am just flabbergasted! I think it's quite stunning.

Since I have never had this plant before, it may have inferior traits that I am as yet unfamilar with. Perhaps by the end of summer I will understand why it made his top 5 list.

    I really like that look of grouping containers together.

    Pat,
    the hens and chicks are planted on a grapevine wreath.
    Someplace in the archives I did a whole post last year about how to do it. If you do a "search this blog" at the top and put in "hens chicks" I should come up.

    Hi Sue, Pea & Nelumbo. Glad you could all stop by today.

    I think Summer poinsettias may get leggy, so you may want to trim them like you do coleus.
