It is one of those plants so durable that it is likely to outlive the person who planted it, or even the home itself. It is usually the first of the spirea species to flower in spring. The curving delicate branches will be covered with small white flowers that are unfazed by frost. Except for the interest found in the fine wispy foliage, it offers little more in the landscape until fall, when the foliage is diffused with soft peach and orange hues. That is, unless you plant the cultivar 'Ogon,' now sometimes sold under the trademarked name Mellow Yellow. Now we are talking about a plant that offers very early spring bloom, gorgeous golden foliage throughout the summer and lingering fall color.

I often don't get my annuals at home into the ground until late June. Plants such as sunflowers, zinnias, Mexican sunflower, cosmos, basil and dill can still be direct-seeded. During the hot summer months, mulch can be especially useful for conserving water. Consider mulching your vegetable garden as well as your ornamentals. The mulch not only helps conserve moisture, but it prevents the splashing of water, reducing the spread of disease. It also adds organic matter to the soil and prevents many weeds.

Stop by to take a look at them and see for yourself which varieties can handle our heat and humidity. Each variety will be evaluated over the course of the summer and assigned a rating based on its growth and uniformity, bloom color and number, and pest and disease resistance. These evaluations help the plant breeders determine ornamental value and market potential of new cultivars.
