Midweek with Bernadette - "Long-lasting Annuals"

Presented by Bernadette Clark, Bedding Plant Trials Coordinator, Tim Alderton, Research Technician, and Blake Wentley, Education Assistant, JC Raulston Arboretum on April 10, 2024.
The impact that annual plants create in our gardens with their vibrant blossoms and unique foliage is so dramatic and spectacular that it's no wonder we go through the effort of planting them out year after year. And while working in the garden is always a labor of love, none of us would complain if some of these plants started their show sooner and remained vivid and interesting a little while longer to reward us for all our efforts. Join us for this Midweek with Bernadette where our Bedding Plant Trials Coordinator, Bernadette Clark, will show you some of the most tenacious and longest-lasting annuals for your garden so you can be certain you're getting the most blooms for your buck!
This program was a live performance that was streamed online. Tune into our midweek program live on Zoom, Wednesdays at 3:00pm eastern time. Here's the link: jcra.ncsu.edu/midweek/

I also love the scent of lantana foliage, and the butterflies can’t pass it by! And yes, Bernadette, before you were repeatedly talked over (again and again, and again), you were mentioning that marigolds are thought to lead departed souls back to their relatives with their color and scent…I have heard the same thing. I enjoy growing the smaller flowered, short, bushy marigolds from seed. I think they are part of a star or gem series.
