Featured Flower

Double flowered Impatiens.

Impatiens are likely the number one bedding plant in the United States. These easy to grow plants are usually perennials grown as annuals, though in warm climates they live for years. Part of their popularity is due to the fact that they're easy to grow from seed, bloom quickly, and don't stop until frost kills them. Ripe seed capsules explode upon the slightest touch, shooting little seeds around, earning them the nicknames Snapweed and Touch-me-not.

Featured Edible

Pomegranate.

The pomegranate is a neat, rounded shrub or small tree that can grow to 20 or 30 ft., but more typically to 12 to 16 ft. in height. Dwarf varieties are also known. It is usually deciduous, but in certain areas the leaves will persist on the tree. Younger red-brown bark later becomes gray. The branches are stiff, angular and often spiny. There is a strong tendency to sucker from the base. Pomegranates are also long-lived, but their vigor declines after about 15 years.
