Pinto Peanuts

[tbendl]

Has anyone else planted these around their pond? I bought a few for $1 each at Lowes and they seem to be thriving. The blue flower one is a Blue Daze Evolvulus. The peanuts have little yellow flowers and have grown just in the last 2 weeks.

Don't know about those cuties
Looks like they will be a nice pretty sprawling ground cover tho. Are they tucked in your sissy socks?

 

[tbendl]

Yep, they are. And they seem to be growing which I wasn't expecting.
Speaking of any word from Sissy?

Very pretty, tropical plant, down to 7b, so they should do fine for you

 

[j.w]

Haven't heard back from @CountryEscape yet on if she was able to contact sissy.

I love the tiny yellow flowers. I really hope it survives the winter. I'm wondering if I shouldn't pot it for winter and put it back in the pond in the spring. And j.w let me know if you here anything. I really want to thank her for her ingenious sock idea.

 

[j.w]

If we hear anything it will be from @CountryEscape letting us know here if she was able to contact her somehow.

T leave a little sprig of the plant to overwinter by the pond and take some in so you can see if it will survive out there. You will be the guinea pig

 

[tbendl]

That's a great idea! Thanks j.w. I'll do that.

Plants seem to be able to handle temps colder than what they say is the lowest.

 

[tbendl]

I hope so. Everyone is expecting a colder winter than last year... Yuck. I might give out before the plants do.
