Melampodium – a Tough Florida Friendly Annual

May 5, 2010 by Rick

Melampodium paludosum is one of the most resilient warm season annuals you can grow that will last through the summer. If we have a very wet year, slugs can be a problem for some annuals that you need to treat with a safe organic slug bait containing iron phosphate (Sluggo Snail & Slug Bait). It works! You can also use stale beer in a saucer that attracts them and then they fall in and drown…or something. Melampodiums are one of the Top 20 Florida Friendly Annuals and can reseed so you may be able to keep a crop of them going for years. They grow in varying amounts of sun to partial shade and flower continuously.

I gotta say, my HD plants -- those from Riverveiw Flower Farms -- are always great performers. Overall, they do better than the plants I pick up at independent nurseries, which is saying something.
   I wish it were easier to know what will be available when, and my newby gardener neighbor is really frustrated by a lack of labels.
  (Just a little shopper feedback -- we know you just grow 'em, it's HD sellin' 'em)
