have the winter to get estab
lished and ready to support new
spring growth.
Winter no problem
If the foliage scorches dur
ing a harsh winter, just prune it
off to make way for the new
spring growth.
When new growth emerges
in the spring, apply a light
sprinkling of 10-10-10 or 16-
4-8 fertilizer. Keep it away
from the crown of the plant.
Repeat the application in
May.

lay down and look bad, but it
will spring right back when
rain returns.

and is resistant to deer brows

that sweet potato, a tropical root
crop, would suddenly become a
prized landscape plant?

bbast such a dramatic crossover
from the garden to the land
scape, where shoots, not roots,

foliage that glows in the land
scape.
Tricolor, with shades of
pink, green and magenta all in
