I’m still getting used to the unpredictability of the weather here. But it sure beats having ice, snow and a short growing season.

I love them, but I have only one, in a front yard bed. Our vet told us they are poisonous to dogs. And our dog Rusty would eat the leaves. But there are varieties that can be grown in hanging baskets.
