READER PHOTO! An unexpected groundcover
Posted on November 7th, 2010
Kind of continuing in the groundcover theme, today’s photos are from Jane Horn in Prior Lake, Minnesota. She says, “I love using jewels of Opar (Talinum paniculatum cv., annual) as a ground cover. I planted a few plants one year and was rewarded with seedlings that look great in the garden. The Talinum is an annual here in USDA Hardiness Zone 4 but by reseeding, it keeps on giving. Some of them even grow up to bloom. The third photo shows their pink “forget-me-not” blossoms. The last two photos show the mature garden in the fall.” Thanks, Jane, for sharing!
