Time to Pick the Plants to Bring Indoors

Great Gardening

As summer wanes, gardeners are patrolling their decks and gardens with sad, puzzled faces. The houseplants have never looked better, green and lush from a wonderful August with cool nights and enough rain. The annuals and tropicals petunias, geraniums, salvias and mandevillas are bursting with flowers and buds.

.

Im sad because I dont want it to end, and I cant take the whole garden inside for the winter. Some of these tender plants will die with the first frost; others just a while later.

.

The question is, Which ones make good houseplants, and how can I choose?

.

The great number of annuals, tropicals and tender perennials we now grow in our containers and gardens add to the confusion. The gardening world has exploded with ever-improved cultivars that offer more flowers, larger blossoms, more exciting colors and foliage, and longer performance.

.

(The Ball Seed demonstration beds at the Buffalo Marina give a glimpse of the industry movement to provide us with more and better selections.) In earlier decades we simply said goodbye to the petunias, marigolds, spider flowers and cosmos (not successful indoors), and maybe toyed with keeping some geraniums and impatiens.

.

Now we face a plethora of plant names. My own deck and gardens have 39 different houseplants, annuals or tropical plants in containers (six more than 5 feet tall). And I am just an average plant collector and container gardener in some gardening circles.
