	Gazania linearis 'Colorado Gold' x Native to the alpine meadows of tropical Africa, Gazania has found its way across the waters to our North American gardens. 'Colorado Gold' is the hardiest selection of this genus. Glossy mounds of dark green, oblong leaves are topped off with non-stop shiny yellow flowers, some accented by an inner ring of brown. Height to 3", however the mounds spread to almost 10". Prefers loamy, well-drained soil. Will tolerate dry locations just fine. x Hardy to zones 4-8. Grow in full sun to part. shade.
	Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Little Honey' x Named by Cliff Russell of Russell Gardens, Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Little Honey' is new for 2000, to Sunny Border-Ohio's ever expanding selection of herbaceous ornamental grasses. This miniature fountain grass is a very stable, silver variegated form of P. alop. 'Little Bunny'. Like most pennisetums this is a clump form with short, linear leaves and stout, feathery, bristle-like panicles in summer through autumn. The 6-8" size lends this delightful little treasure to rockery type plantings. Companion plant with P. a. 'Little Bunny', dwarf hosta or dianthus. 'Little Honey' makes a great front of the border addition. x Hardy to zones 5-8. Plant in full sun in moderately fertile, well-drained soil.   BACK
