Plant Profiles
Plants Amy grows in her Central Florida garden and what she has learned from them.
-
Firecracker Flower
Struggled in a pot, now thriving three years in a shady, protected spot.
-
Purple Possum Passion Fruit
A clearance-rack rescue that winters indoors.
-
Calamondin Orange
Tart and zesty, with staggered blooms for a long harvest.
-
Tabasco Pepper
Small peppers with a BIG punch. Wear gloves.
-
Red Cayenne Pepper
Long, thin and hot: good in rubs, broths and Mexican-style dishes.
-
Purple Cayenne Pepper
Green to purple, and hot: use sparingly until you know your heat zone.
-
Pigeon Pea
New to my garden: started in late summer and quick to outgrow its pot.
