The Fall list of LA Super Plants is a good one! The Sorbet Viola, the Conversation Piece Azalea, and the Evergreen Sweetbay Magnolia top the charts this year as the best plants to grow during the Fall in Louisiana. The Violas and Azaleas can be found right here at Langridge Plant Sales. The Violas are similar to the look of Pansies, but they produce a much smaller flower. The bright colors and appetizing names like Lemon Blueberry Swirl will have everyone wanting to add these beauties to their gardens! They are a cool season annual that love the sun and grow to be about 6 inches tall.
The Conversation Piece Azalea is the best of the best when it comes to Azaleas. This beautiful shrub blooms different shades of pink flowers that can be about 4 inches across. It blooms heavily in the Spring and Fall to add great color to your garden. They can grow between 2-5 feet tall and 3-5 feet wide in part sun to part shade.
