December Flowers

For the most part, you have to look up close for flowers right now. A number of herbs are still in flower and a few other hardy hangers-on.



African Blue Basil

I'm keeping a couple of these in one-gallon pots to get them through the winter. The pale flowers in the background are on the same plant. I hope to propagate it and have it keep the same flower color.


Yarrow

Trailing Rosemary


Syrian Oregano

Leonotis

A hummingbird favorite.



Narcissus


Grevillea

Another hummingbird favorite.



Erigeron


Bacopa

  1. The Leonotis is beautiful. What zones does it grow in?

  2. The leonotis is considered a tender perennial, but I don't know just what hardiness zone it's rated for. I do know that it is grown as an annual in cold winter climates.

  3. Your December blooms look beautiful, even though they aren't the showiest blooms in the garden. But we'll take what we can get for winter!
