Pic of the Day--Radiant Edger
Hi All--Radiant Edger is a nice attractive plant with an appearance that brings to mind the "Tiara" group of varieties, which it does not belong to. Since being added to our garden in 2002 it has been growing in a spot that gets about 3 hours of afternoon sun. With measurements of 10x4, 13x4, 16x8, 18x7, 23x7 and 25x7. It seems unlikely to reach the registration size of 34x14 listed in Lemke's Data Base. What is different this time about the size discrepancy is that the registration size is larger than the actual plant. I checked the plants in the Library and those plants seemed to be about the same as mine.

This one's one of my faves - it has very good substance and few bugs succeed on it. I like it so much I split it into two, so one can grow in the shade and the other in the sun. When planted in a sunny spot, the colour contrast is enhanced, with the edge quite a strong gold. I had it growing along the driveway - hot and dry - and it did great there.
