The Milettia Vines are finally here!

We have waited patiently for an entire year for one of the most intriquing, aromatic vines to hit the horticulture field. We have had them every year but they are quickly bought out. Well, they are finally here at Pinecone Perennials! I am sure you have all noticed the unusal vine climbing up our arbor on the shady side of the garden center. Most people have commented on it and many others have sighed in frustration because they have wanted one after we were out of them only to have to wait until this summer for more to arrive. Well come running because they are going fast!
They are in 3 gallon containers and are priced at $22.00. They are a very hardy, deciduous vine that flowers July through August and maybe longer if the weather would cool off just slightly. The Milettia grows at a medium rate, not too fast where it will be taking over but just quick enough to start a good shady cover on your pergola or arbor after 3 seasons.
It is a wonderful, fragrant clmiber that everyone who has a overhead structure must have!

We all know what a challenge this summer has been on all of our gardens. The heat has sometimes taken it's toll on various plants no matter how hard one has tried to keep them looking good. Keep up the watering, but don't forget to feed on a regular basis - you need to replace all the nutrients that are being leached out of the soil with the constant watering.We have plenty of the Peter's Excel (same fertilizer we use at our nursery and the store)  if you have seen our Supertunias this year in the window boxes on top of the arbor you will see how frequent feedings and daily watering will help.
