It’s true the warmer zones are now enjoying the first camellias as well as the last roses, but we still count on containers to keep the garden looking fresh and intriguing as we enter November. This one’s a pretty simple mix of three easy to find plants, all hewing to a bold, bright purple-pink color theme. If you’re looking at the garden and it’s giving you the blues, consider trying a new container combo!

If you will follow this link to the product page it will offer you the opportunity to find a retailer near you who likely ordered that plant from us. From there, you'll need to call each for availability. Here's the link:http://www.monrovia.com/plant-catalog/plants/2131/chinese-lilac/

We grow all of these varieties. Just click on the links for how to find a garden center near you that likely bought them from us (you'll have to call to find out what they have in stock currently.)

What is the name of the other plant you show with the Heucherea and the Dracena or is that some type of pink blade grass?

My planting zone is 8, Aiken SC. My landscaping expands over 26+ years. We are the 2nd owner,and over the past 13 years have transformed our back yard into a less formal garden with a small pond and delightful stream. Azaleas abound around the property , spring only as well as the multiple blooming azaleas throughout the year. However I have grown frustrated over the years trying to plant [perennials] in a partly/somewhat shaded backyard that is invaded by deer and rabbits.!! Even your Sweet Tea Foamy bells are not over looked by these night raiders. What would you recommend in a variety of ornamental grasses or low shrubbery with interesting textures and patterns? Thank you for your help. Always look for the Monrovia pots.

You might like Silver Dragon Lilyturf (Liriope spicata 'Silver Dragon') and Ebony Knight Mondo Grass (Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Ebknizam').

I get more questions and comments about furry raiders than anything else. I will do a post with suggestions for these plants.

Not sure if this is in the ground or in a pot? If in the ground, mulch well to keep roots warm--you may lose foliage if you get a hard freeze. If in a pot, try to move to a sheltered location. Artichokes are tougher than they look! While we don't grow them, you might look for a cardoon--has the same look as an artichoke but much more cold tolerant.
