Lisa Kortan, City of Yankton Forester, also selects annuals for use in planters and flowerbeds around Yankton each growing season. She looks for plant varieties that are attractive, tolerate a wide range of conditions and require little extra care.
Comments from other professionals and the public let her know that picks from last summer were a hit. In fact, the same variety was also highlighted as a McCrory Gardens garden trials standout by Dr. David Graper of South Dakota Extension. (See the link to his recent post here at Plant Exchange.)
