Okay, let me start by saying that I am not a horticulturist.  I like to "play one on TV", but, I am self taught in both my successes and failures.  That is precisely why I can say a plant is easy to grow.  If I can do it, so can you!

Why do I say they are free?  DUH!  Because I have grown more than I can use and will be happy to share (0:  This series is all about plants I am happy to give to whoever wants to grow these lovely beauties.  So, if you live or work in Plano, McKinney, Allen, or Frisco, stop on by and I'll give you some (just shoot me an e-mail so I bring them to work with me).  If you live too far away to pop in, send me a self addressed, stamped envelope with what you want and if it is mail-able, I will send you some.  That simple!  Share the love and help make this planet even more beautiful than it already is! 

My first featured freebie is an heirloom plant called a Four O'clock.  The reason for this unusual name is that the very fragrant flowers open each evening (around 4), stay open all night, and close in the morning.  They smell super sweet and once established can be smelled from 10 feet away.

These flowers can grow in full Texas sun and mostly shade but somewhere in between is preferred.  I have seeds from magenta, orange, yellow, and coral colored "mother plant" but I can't necessarily guarantee the color of your flowers.

These plants are drought tolerant, come back every year, and grow thick tubers deep under ground over time.  They are hardy and beautiful.  Only 1 down-side exists to them... they are aggressive.  Which, if your thumb isn't green, this could be a good thing!  So, don't plant them where they have the opportunity to choke out other plants because, trust me, they will!

If you would like some of these gorgeous plants, contact me and I am happy to share!
