Planting Tropical Hibiscus and Begonias

Summer flowering annuals give a colorful pop to flower beds. This year University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond plants tropical hibiscus and begonias around already growing dusty miller. She selected red hibiscus and pink bronze-leafed begonias for a red, white, and pink color scheme. After removing the winter annuals, she fertilizes with a slow release fertilizer and then plants. The bed was previously mulched by landscapers, so she only adds a small amount where needed.
