Lenten rose is an evergreen, 15- to 18-inch tall groundcover with leathery, dark-green, shiny foliage. Their new growth generally appears during late January and February, and precedes the 3- to 4-inch nodding, cup-shaped flowers that quickly emerge through the mulch or snow layer. This item has a light pink/cream flower with a greenish center, and I will list other colors separately as available. The petals of the Lenten rose are actually sepals, and do not drop readily as with other flowers, but last for a couple of months. Some darker colors may fade over the 8- to 10-week bloom and fruiting period. As the flower turns into a fruit, mature seeds are dropped beneath the canopy of foliage. Soon small seedlings will appear in dense clusters which can be readily transplanted to additional shady sites. Lenten roses are long-lived plants and rarely need dividing. To enhance plant growth, they can be fertilized with a slow-release fertilizer when new foliage begins to appear in late winter. They do well under very dry conditions, are naturally deer and rabbit repellent, have very few insect pests or disease problems, and require little care. Lenten roses have coarse-textured, dissected foliage, which combines especially well in the landscape with the delicate foliage of ferns, the more rounded foliage of hosta, and smaller-leafed perennials and shrubs. Their evergreen foliage provides winter interest when many other perennials are dormant.

Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), considered a "calming" herb, is a member of the mint family. It was used as far back as the Middle Ages to reduce stress and anxiety, promote sleep, & improve appetite. Nowadays it is used extensively as a mosquito repellant and to attract bees. Chewing a leaf will freshen your breath, or you can soothe a bug bite by placing a leaf of lemon balm on it. It's delicious sprinkled on fruit salad, mixed into muffins, or made into tea. Use it to flavor water or butter. Vigorous grower with scent of lemon.

Grapefruit mint's slightly hairy leaves have a citrus flavor. It does not spread quite as prolifically as some other mints, producing strong upright stems, and long spikes of incredibly attractive purple flowers in mid to late summer. This mint is worth growing for its flowers alone, but also has attractive culinary uses. The leaves and flowers can both be used in cooking, complementing fruit salads and drinks both with flavor and color.
