Fiddle Leaf Fig, Knock Out Rose and the Hydrangea
Home Interior
Today I’m sharing three of my favorite plants!
Easy to grown and beautiful to decorate with!
Knock Out Rose
Knock Out Rose
Hardiness: Zones 4 - 9
Exposure: Full sun
Size: Height 4 feet tall, 3 feet wide
Bloom Time: Spring to frost.
Care: Use drip or soaker hose irrigation.
The knock out rose has been one of the easiest and most beautiful plants that I’ve grown. Once its starts blooming in the spring, I can have fresh cut roses everyday.
Endless Summer Hydrangea
Endless Summer Hydrangea
Hardiness: Zones 4 - 9
Exposure: Filtered sun
Size: Height 3-5 feet tall, 3-5 feet wide
Bloom Time: Spring to frost.
Care: Water weekly or more in extreme heat
These hydrangeas have a long bloom season and they are super easy to dry. Once dried you can use them forever in your decor. Find my easy to dry instructions here: Drying Hydrangeas
Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree
The first time I saw the Fiddle Leaf Fig tree I knew I had to have one.
It took me a while and I finally found three at a local grocery store. I gave one to my mom.
At one point I thought my plants were dying.
I sat them outside for while, this was during the summer and that either shocked them or revived them.
What I found was that I was watering them too much and the leaves started to have brown spots on them.
These days I water them only when the soil has dried out.
I’ve had them for 3 years and I love them more and more every day :)
These are 3 plants that I highly recommend!
Thanks for stopping by,
Debbie

ArchiveI love dydrangea and your's are pretty and really big, have tried them in my yard but everytime I try they die, late in the season last year I got a cutting from a friend and rooted and I'm going to plant in a large pot and see what happens, if it survies maybe I'll transfer to yard.
Hey Carolyn, I highly recommend the Endless Summer Hydrangea, they are not as picky as the old fashion hydrangeas :)

Ok I am getting a fig tree plant. I am seeing them everywhere and I love how they look. The planters are super cute that you have yours in.
had to cut my "FIG BUSH" down because they were at the front deck & got really big & smell was awful..the squirrels got them & made a mess on railings...!
Does anyone know of a website I can order one from?
Thanks for sharing your picks with us. I also grow hydrangea's and knock out roses. I'm too old and can't get around like I use to so these 2 low maintenance plants are great for me to tend to and produce flowers all summer and fall. Only problem I have is that nasty fungus on my hydrangea leaves. Other than that they grow beautifully.
