      WOW what a lovely morning, clear blue sky. Temperature at 9:00 AM is 45 degrees with a high today 62 degrees and a low of 36 tonight.   Are you ready for 70 to 80 degrees weather?  That is what is predicted for Sat and Sun.  All I can say is ENJOY and stay safe. 
​
Here is one new thing for me that I planted.  Didelta Facifiller silver strand.  This variety came from Plant Peddler, Cresco Iowa.  As the tag says Eye catching silver foliage brings stunning contrast and texture to combination pots  the perfect “filler” accent plant.  It grows 6” tall, it is a foliage and habit is semi trailing.  Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.  Fertilize every 2 weeks.   
A bullet proof summer performer, Silver Strand is a spreading subshrub that is indestructible in the summer months. The semi trailing habit makes this an ideal component plant in hanging baskets and container gardens for a splash of velvety, silver color.
Features:
Deer resistant
Drought tolerant
Heat seeker
 Flower Timing: Spring to fall
Heat Tolerance: Full sun to part shade
Uses: Containers, landscape, hanging baskets
Put this on your gardening list.  Back to work this morning to do more planting.  Going to be awesome in the greenhouse, but that 80 degree weather will be a little warmer in the greenhouse.  PLANTS love the heat and the sun.  Miracle house I would say for growing.
