I am really enjoying this new purchase of 'Red Alert' Calla Lilies in the urns beside my garage. (You can see some dahlia foliage and some handsome striped leaves of a new pink canna lily planted behind)
'Red Alert' remains short - no more than 24" high. One bulb produces multiple flowers in a nice red/orange color that looks great with this 'Henna' coleus.
I am especially fond of the white-speckled leaves some of which echo the red floral color.
I am also happy to see that my Korean dwarf lilac shrub 'Miss Kim' is full of blooms this year.
'Miss Kim' blooms appear just has my old-fashioned lilac bushes fade.
This shrub should get about 4 feet tall and wide.
Despite very little attention, June has been a great month in my perennial gardens. I am looking forward to a good season in 2015!

Wowza, that red is gorgeous! Reminds me of my red hydrangea that I carefully wintered over only to read that it may not come back as red. Time will tell - no blooms yet. Your garden is looking wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, LR. I hope your hydrangea comes back red!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Nicole. I always have fun with those two garage urns. I am now eagerly awaiting the dahlias and the pink canna. Happy gardening to you, too!
DeleteI do get on the laptop once in a while thought the button is broken. It's easier to get on the iPad.

Hi Dianne,
