White Cypress Vines
Cypress vine also known as Hummingbird Vine or Star Glory is an easy to grow vine in almost any soil. It displays tiny,3/4 inch white star blooms for 3 to 4 months. The foliage is beautiful and lacy, making a fern-like screen growing 15 to 20 feet tall. This vine is perfect to add to taller morning glories, providing color contrast and interest.
Full sun.
SOIL: Too rich a soil will cause more foliage and fewer flowers. Sandy, well drained soil is best. Prefers slightly alkaline to very acid soils.
WATER: Cypress Vine does not like to dry out. Water frequently if there is not enough natural moisture.
SPECIAL CARE: The vines attach themselves to supports and don't need to be tied. You can aim the vines in the direction you want them to go by twisting them on to a trellis or other structure.

Myrtle (Myrtus communis)
Dianthus- Artic Fire
Cheerful white blooms with a sharply contrasting, bright fuchsia-red ring around the medium pink eye-zone. Blooms generously through out April, May and June and will reward you with another round of flowers in mid autumn. Very nice dark green foliage that forms a prostrate spreading mat which develops into a very nice ground cover. Arctic Fire plants will tolerate light shade but seem to flower more abundantly if given at least 6 hours of good sun. Plant them in a well amended soil that has good drainage and they will thrive in the garden for years. Dianthus 'Arctic Fire' is right at home in a cottage garden and is the perfect choice for edging along pathways.

Dragonhead Flower (Dracocephalum moldavica)
Beautiful lavender-blue flower spikes rise above the aromatic, neatly mounded foliage in summer. Lightly lemony scented flowers. Resembles a dragon's head. This plant is also known as Moldavian dragonhead, Moldavian balm, tuoksuampiaisyrtti (Finnish), Turkish dragonflower, Turkmint, Chinese blue hyssop, toronil azul, toronil chino, and turkish melissa. This seed is a named variety of the species (Blue Dragon); named varieties are more robust than the regular species but are not hybrids, so the seeds you collect from this plant will come true.
