Recently, we got some Taishan Marigolds in with an unusual stem growth. Well, it turns out these knobby little growths were actually aerial roots. So, naturally, we experimented! We potted them deep in larger containers and BAM! They’re beautiful! Who knew that Marigolds could be planted deep like you would a tomato? That’s one thing about gardening, it never gets old, boring, or routine. There are always new varieties to try, or different techniques to experiment. Whenever we get an unusual plant in, or a different chemical, the whole staff comes together and checks it out (and usually takes one home). If you’re looking for something out-of-the-ordinary, just come by! We’ve got some really wacky plants, like Peppermint Celery, Lemon Eucalyptus, and Shaving Brush Trees.

Thank you Shana! We’re always looking to teach about new plants that do well here in South Texas. Glad you enjoyed it!
