ANNUALS AND TROPICALS IN POTS - Page 1 (A-F)

 

     This list includes potted annuals, tropical patio plants, houseplants, conservatory specimens, combination components, and hanging baskets in various sized containers. Many of these plants are actually perennial in the tropics but few will take any frost.  The genus name is followed by the common name, if any, and the variety name is followed by the flower color or leaf color, if applicable. 

Pot sizes are as follows:

8.86 fl oz / 262 ml

1.42 pt / 675.9 ml

1.75 qt / 1.66 l

3.93 qt / 3.71 l

10 fl oz / 295 ml

1.56 qt / 1.47 l

3.69 qt / 3.49 l

1.67 gal / 6.32 l

  This key will help describe the different categories.

CP=Combination Plant - Plays well with others

HB=Hanging Basket – Let it all hang out

IB=Indoor Blooming - Windowsill wonders

SU=Succulent – Desert denizens

BEGONIAS
Dave Morris is a begoniaholic. Dave was one of several fantastic growers employed by Baker’s Acres and he is quite fond of all things begonia. Dave has moved on to another greenhouse operation but his collection remains. And what a collection it is - probably one of the best in the midwest. Here are some of Dave’s babies, each one of which is his favorite. Thanks, Dave.

THOSE WACKY COLEUS
Coleus are the Hawaiian shirts of the plant world. They are those gaudy little plants with the multicolored leaves that you remember from visiting your grandmother’s house and they seem to come in and out of favor. Currently they are popular, mostly because they can be used just about anywhere and provide an anchor of color and/or texture in beds and containers. They shine as either the stars or the supporting players in garden combos. Several years ago, they changed the name to Solenostemon but in a blatant act of taxonomic defiance, we refuse to call them anything but Coleus. Our collection of named varieties is far beyond the bounds of sanity at about 150, give or take 20. The sad thing is, people keep bringing us new ones. Even sadder is the fact that we keep coming up with new ones of our own. Recently, a fun new flower brand, Hort Couture, has picked eight of our varieties to feature in their new line of coleus distributed nationally. And if ya think that’s somethin’, how about this. Baker’s Acres is featured in the new book by Ray Rogers, ‘Coleus - Rainbow Foliage for Containers and Gardens’, available at fine bookstores everywhere. We think we’re pretty hotsy-totsy now, by golly.
The following varieties marked with an asterisk are Baker’s Acres originals.
