PLANTS FOR SALE![]() Looking for plants to bloom in the summer & fall, put them away until next year then start the cycle again? Smithianthas and Achimenes are the answer! Find them on eBay in sallys_garden, Achimenes make beautiful hanging baskets, instructions are included on how to plant them, grow then let go dormant until they sprout again the following spring. Smithianthas make beautiful upright plants some may know as Temple Bells. They also grow and bloom, but later in the year then go dormant until they are ready to start again the next season. Both make small rhizomes, little pine cone looking storage units that you save when they have stopped blooming. Questions contact us at sallysgarden@tampabay.rr.com or sjscaggs@tampabay.rr.com.
