1. The Roselle: The first stop in the November Garden is the Roselle plant. Although it’s no longer flowering, the Roselle’s calyx, often mistaken for a fruit, remains edible and packed with nutrients, particularly high in vitamin C. The gardener explains their successful late-season planting and how the Roselle thrives in the heat, making it an easy plant to grow.
2. Lavender-Like Flowers: Next on the tour are lavender-like flowers, beloved by bees and hummingbirds. These Asian leafy greens flourish in the shade but bloom more vibrantly when exposed to sunlight. The gardener’s pruning techniques have encouraged growth, resulting in a beautiful display of blooms.
3. Chinese Chrysanthemum: The Chinese chrysanthemum is a show-stopper in the garden, attracting not only humans but also bees with its delightful aroma. The plant does well in part shade and full sun, blooming during the fall season. Besides being a visual treat, the flowers are suitable for making teas with a pleasant scent.
4. Barbados Gooseberries: The highlight of the tour is the Barbados gooseberries, a unique cactus with a lush appearance due to its rainforest origins. Unlike many other cacti, this species has retained its leaves over time, making it an eye-catching climber. The plant’s flowers open during the day and attract bees, leading to the formation of small fruit, which is both tart and nutrient-dense.
The November Garden presents an enchanting array of flowers and plants, each with its distinctive beauty and attributes. From the edible Roselle to the fragrant Chinese chrysanthemums, and the ancient cactus, the Barbados gooseberries, the gardener’s passion and knowledge are evident in the thriving blooms.
