Just about any hydrangea variety will add drama to your yard, but there's something special about panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata). This flowering plant grows massive cone-shaped flowers that bloom on new wood and put on quite the color show: Flower heads emerge as white or green in mid-summer, fading to gentle pink or red as the season draws to a close.
Grown as a woody shrub or tree, angel's trumpet (Brugmansia) can thrive outdoors in warm climates and in containers in cold ones, says Dave Whitinger, the executive director of the National Gardening Association. Its cone-shaped flowersβas big as 24 inches long, depending on the cultivarβdangle downward like trumpets from the heavens.

Make sure to maintain consistently moist soil, ensuring it doesn't become waterlogged. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Also remember to avoid overhead watering to prevent foliage diseases. Instead, water at the base of the plant and get the Viola plant the water it needs.
Viola plants thrive in cool, moist environments with well-drained soil and partial shade. They are versatile flowering plants and can grow in various conditions, including gardens, borders, containers, and even as ground cover.
Violas prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (around 6.0 to 7.5). In hotter climates, if you provide them with afternoon shade, it could also help prevent wilting.
The Viola flower, also known as the Violet, is a flowering plant belonging to the large family of Violaceae, which consists of over 680 different species. Its delicate yet very vibrant, violet blooms make for stunning additions to ornamental displays in gardens and even as cut flowers.
The Sorbet series of violas, such as this Midnight Glow selection, resist stretching and stay compact through winter and even as temperatures rise in the spring.
