We’re all plant geeks here at Gill’s. We spend time around plants all day, then go home and garden some more! We get excited to talk to each other about the plants we’re growing at home, so we thought it’d be fun to share with you too.
Debbie’s Fiesta Hibiscus
I’ve always loved hibiscus and this Fiesta variety is at the top of my list. BIG non-stop flowers, deep green foliage, and loves this spot in my courtyard! Some sun, some shade….Perfect!!! Hibiscus add tropical beauty and they love our climate.
Kelsie’s Monstera Minima
I brought this tiny 4” Monstera Minima home about a year ago and it’s grown to over 6 feet! I love it because it’s the easiest plant I’ve ever grown – super forgiving of low water and low light. Since it grows so fast, I’m training it to grow up around my window.
Josh’s Porterweed
This is my purple Porterweed. I chose this plant for its big leaves and small blooms. The small blooms compliment the deep red trim and door on my front porch!
Sally’s Turk’s Cap
I love plants that give back to nature. Hummingbirds love Turk’s Cap, it’s native to our area, and it has NO bug or fungus issues. It thrives in the part sun/part shade spot under our Texas Sabal Palms in the front yard.
Wyatt’s Crystal Ruby Grass
Crystal Ruby Grass is a beautiful low-growing grass with a max height of about 14-16” and about the same width, with light pink to white blooms in the Summer and Early Fall. Great for borders and creating small grassy areas in your pollinator garden.
Carolyn Smith says
James Gill, in an earlier email I had asked about a good ground corner for a shady area that we needed to get a lawn mower across to mow the other side of our yard. You recommended horse herb or frog fruit. I have a couple of questions related to the horse herb. Will fall be a good time to plant it? How long will it take to get an order? What size are the plants? How far apart should they be planted? I appreciate you assistance on this. I have enjoyed doing business at you nursery. That is my new “go to” for plants and advice. We live in Rockport.
