Cimmarron Sage

Love the grey color and summer blooms of Texas Sage but need something
more diminutive in size? Enter Cimmarron Sage from Mountain States
Nursery. Beautiful and soft rounded foliage highlighted by soft blue
flowers in summer, and it only gets three feet tall! Full sun and
excellant drainage a must.

Going Bananas!

Our banana plant is producing it's first crop. I believe this is an
"Orinoco", the most common variety grown on the gulf coast. The banana
is actually an herb, ours is planted in a sheltered location on the
east side of our house. The location plus a mild winter last year has
resulted in the developing fruit. So exciting!
