I tried dark purple sweet potato vine for the first time this summer, and really loved it. Next year I’ll also use some of the bright chartreuse!

This August and September it has been raining constantly so little watering has been required. In a normal year, I water every few days. Carolyn

I am always amazed at how much better plants thrive in Maine summers compared to the South.

The Pennisetum looks restrained by the part shade position. which is a good thing since it can easily overwhelm a container.
I’m assuming the sweet potatoes in the box are the ‘Illuminations’? I like their habit. Thanks for sharing.
Best,
P

So vibrant and a perfect combination with the driftwood gray of the house. I especially love the reds with the black.
