OK, so I am getting ready by planning some of my container combinations. I have ordered from a few Co-Ops and noticed a few themes within the Coleus and Hibiscus varieties.
Here is what I have for my "Weather" theme:
Hibiscus:
Tsumani
Coleus:
New Hurricane
Stormy Weather
Litle Twister
Cajun/ Louisiana Theme:
Hibiscus "Crawfish Pie"
Coleus "Alligator"
Coleus "New Hurricane"
Various Shrimp Plants
Now, I have also come across some really cool "Horror" themed Coleus:
Fright Night
Blair's Witch
Brooklyn Horror
Oxblood
Red Witch
Spellbinder
Sorcerer
Telltale Heart
Pistachio Nightmare
Blackmagic
Does anyone else do this? I love themes and this is really the first year I have paid attention to names so closely.
Does anyone have any to add to my lists? This could be fun!
Themed Planting
I noticed that I tended to like TB iris with Dragon, Angel and Sea in the names. Then other plants with those words in the names began to stick out when I was browsing and making wishlists. Hadn't committed to an actual themed planting as yet.
