Abelmoschus manihot Abelmoschus manihot
(Hibiscus manihot) (1 user review)
Hardiness Zones: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

A large ornamental okra with dinner-plate-sized, sulfur yellow flowers with dark eyes. Each flower lasts only a day—unfolding slowly in the morning and closing gradually in the evening—but the abundance of flowers open on any one day conceals their short life span.
Bidens aristosa Bidens aristosa
(Tickseed sunflower, Long-bracted beggar-ticks) Be the first to rate this plant

This fast-growing annual of the Midwestern wet meadows grows to 4 or 5 feet tall. Hundreds of 2-inch golden daisies with buttery tips and dark, fringed eyes smother fine foliage in late summer. Be cautioned, this plant generously self-sows, and is on Kentucky's invasive plant list.
Cyperus papyrus King Tut® Cyperus papyrus King Tut®
(King Tut® papyrus) (2 user reviews)
Hardiness Zones: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

This exotic-looking beauty has a fantastic bold form and strong appeal. Its pendulous leaves sit on tall, upright stems. King Tut® is a rapid grower that makes an impressive centerpiece in the landscape. It likes wet places like water gardens or waterside and is perfect for containers without drainage holes. This papyrus is easy to grow and untroubled by pests or diseases.
