At the farmer’s market my attention was caught as I overheard a plant vendor telling a couple about a plant with bronze-colored leaves. It would eventually cascade, she said—two good reasons to grow it in my hanging basket. When she added that it would produce magenta blooms, I was sold. “Of course, it has to be really, really hot for it to bloom.” This summer was really, really hot—no blooms. But it did cascade and have bronze leaves. That was good but since my space is at a premium, I’m unlikely to grow these small trailers again; I didn’t catch its name.As I’ve often said, it’s good to try new things but there’s not enough room to keep all of them forever.
