Six Plectranthus Silver Shield Plugs From Garden Club Planted Out In The Corner Patio Bed - June 2026

Yesterday, I started the posting series about planting out my cut flower plugs with the first eight Didiscus Lacy Blue in the front yard Island Bed.  Today, I'm showing the six Plectranthus Silver Shield plugs in the corner bed in our backyard near the patio.  These are going where I planted a mix of Dusty Miller and border Dahlias last year, but in a newly expanded bed.  

These plugs also came from Garden Club and because I ordered them for too-early of a delivery, I had to pot them up into something larger.  Of all the varieties that came from Garden Club, these Silver Shields did BY FAR the best.  All eight of them were happy two months later.  

Overall, I've been really happy with the Garden Club plug order - from the greenhouses they came in to the vibrancy of the tiny plants.  A positive experience. 

I'm trying something different with these:  no rabbit cages.  Instead, I'm applying Liquid Fence.  *Fingers Crossed* that it'll work.  Or, that these taste bad.  Below is a photo of the small plants in their new homes. 

Here's a look (below) of the new growth these have put on in the past few weeks.  Lovely.

  8 Didiscus + 6 Silver Shields = 14 accent plants in the ground.  Good start.
