C. Four O'Clock `Fairy Trumpets'
M. longiflora
2-2.5' h x 1.5' w | Tender perennial,
zones 8-10 | TA
Jefferson received this seed from its native south-
west and grew it at Monticello--perhaps he was
as captivated by it as we are. Outrageous curvy
pink stamens dotted at the tips with orange
pollen reach out a good 2" from the magenta
throated white trumpets. Grow in moonlit
gardens in regular well-drained soils. Stake in
richer soils to underpin its bushy growth.

flowers. Poisonous.

J. Heliotrope `Amaretto'

A sensational almond extract fragrance emanates
from the lilac blooms, sweetening the warm sum-
mer air, especially as evening draws close. This
old-fashioned favorite graced our fragrant garden
this year and drew the attentions of both Tiger
Swallowtails and Black Swallowtails, tipping this

flower clusters. Poisonous.

N. Lavender `Violet Intrigue'
L. angustifolia
2' h x 2' w | Perennial, zones 58
PPAF. Bred by New Zealand lavender
specialist Virginia McNaughton, `Violet
Intrigue' has a dense mounding habit
and an abundance of dark purple blooms
on strong stems. Pick a handful and keep
nearby for its soothing, stress relieving
scent. The high oil content in the blos-
soms makes it one of the most fragrant
varieties. Excellent for crafting also, for
it keeps its rich color when dried. In the
garden, prune after flowering.

healthy, bushy and productive.
