Timely Tip for August Gardeners
From Calloway’s Nursery

Color for the heat of Summer! How many of you scoff at the idea and mumble under your breath that it’s impossible? Well, we have a Summer color program called “FlameProof for Texas” which will make a believer out of you!
Every year over 3,000 plants are tested at the Dallas Arboretum Trial Gardens. The very best of those are awarded the “FlameProof™” Plant award. This award is reserved for those plants that can take the Texas heat and thrive in our hot Summers. If you're looking for plants that will flourish in our hot tropical summers, then look no farther. These winners will look great in your garden from May right up until first frost.
Our “FlameProof” Plants program started in June but the selection will continue through the end of August. Each week a new variety is featured and for this month we will be receiving the following plants:

Lobularia ‘Snow Princess’-Blooms fragrant white flowers and grows only 4 to 6 inches tall.
Torenia ‘Catalina Midnight Blue’-Dark blue Snapdragon-like blooms on plants 8 to 16 inches tall.
Coleus ‘Kingswood Torch’-Vivid dark foliage thrives in full to part sun.
Coleus ‘Royal Glissade’-Light moss-green leaves with raspberry touches will tolerate full sun or part shade.
Salvia ‘Mystic Spires’-True blue flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

Don’t let the heat of the Summer keep you from enjoying your gardens. Check out our collection of “FlameProof” plants and enjoy garden color through Fall!
