So pretty and quite a variety. Want to get a key lime, we lost ours way back when the canker situation was going on. Would love to put one in a pot after seeing how well yours is doing. Thanks.

Thank you! I was pleasantly surprised to see how well our lime tree has been doing in a pot.

I have a sunbelt Savannah. It has a really good reputation here in Texas. I bet it does great for you.

Good to know it does well in heat. Mine is fairly new, still in the nursery pot. This will be its first summer with me, hope it does well! 🤞🏼

Your garden is so beautiful! I’m visiting my mom in southern CA right now. She’s about 10 miles from the ocean. Her community has the most beautiful variety of roses like you do. They are so lovely. Thanks for sharing. 🌹

[@FloridaCottageGarden]

Thank you so much! The roses absolutely LOVE California weather, bet they look amazing there!

Hi! Your garden is so beautiful and inspiring! 😍 I live in Saint Johns FL zone 9A and was wondering what ground covering blooms you would recommend?

[@FloridaCottageGarden]

Thank you so much! I don't have any ground covers in my garden although, I do use Superbena which spreads about 3 feet and could be used as a ground cover. I know lots of people here use Sunshine Mimosa or Frog Fruit but beware they will spread everywhere so you have to be very diligent about controlling them. They are both native to Florida and the bees love it! Personally I like the pink blooms on Sunshine Mimosa better. Hope this helps!

@@FloridaCottageGarden thank you so much! I’m new to gardening and I think I confused ground covering with low growing flowers 🤣. But I think the superbena will look beautiful and will check them out!

[@FloridaCottageGarden]

@@hellobeaute101 you can’t go wrong with Superbena, they look wonderful in ground and in pots. You’re going to love it!

I had a lemon tree a couple of years ago I enjoyed. Its leaves were so ravaged and curled by some fly I forget. No real harm to the plant I’ve read but I HATED how it looked. Do you have that problem with your lime?

[@FloridaCottageGarden]

Yes, we have it too from time to time but my hubby just defoliates all the bad leaves. I planted some marigold seeds around it as well to see if that helps with pests.
