Alpine Strawberries are extremely hardy (zone 3), and tolerate being grown in containers or in raised beds, and can overwinter in the Ottawa area. (This is not the case for the larger strawberries, nearly all of which which are only hardy to Canada zone 4/5; if grown in the ground - but they generally do not overwinter well in raised containers). These Alpine strawberries were planted in the fall of 2024, and overwintered well in the Sproutbox containers.

An edible daylily, which provides colour both to your garden and your plate. It also serves as an attractive table decoration in the fall. Furthermore, they are adaptable plants which soak up water after downpours of rain, but also survive during hot summer days when there is a drought. They are ideal for rain gardens.This one is descended from the native daylily, and is tough as nails, as well as being beautiful. What's not to love?

Daylilies (Hemerocallis) have been used in Oriental cuisines for centuries. The young buds are edible, provided they are grown in uncontaminated, organic soil. They come in a wide variety of colours, ranging from brilliant reds to cool whites and even bicolours! The flowers could also be used as table decoration for a tropical theme, but remember that the individual flowers only last for a day! On the other hand, the plant as a whole has an extended period of bloom, spanning from July to September in our growing zone.

Edible daylilies come in a variety of colours - you can have cool colours, hot colours, even bi-colours to spice up your landscape and your plate! Wouldn't this cool refreshing bloom be lovely decorating a dessert/tropical plate? Despite their fragile looks, daylilies are drought-tolerant once established, and their can also do well in a rainstorm.
