Colocasia White Lava
Take your Elephant Ear assortment and kick it up a notch. This cultivar has rich, glossy, heart-shaped leaves with a large, broad, creamy white to yellow center vein. Great for containers or the garden. Deer-resistant foliage lasts all summer long until the first hard frost. Grows up to 48 inches tall and does best in partial sun. Hardy in zones 7 to 10.
Tiger Lily Pink Giant
A showy flower with staying power in the garden for many years. 4” light pink flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies, and make excellent bouquets. Does best in full sun to partial sun. Hardy in zones 3 to 9.
Galtonia
Also known as Summer Hyacinth. This variety is not well known but it should be. This stunning plant makes a great tall accent in summer borders or use as the “thriller” in a container garden. Waxy white blossoms resemble graceful hanging bells of an old-fashioned Hyacinth but last much longer in the summer garden from midsummer until first hard frost. Does best in full sun. Hardy in zones 7 to 10.
