Mississippi

‘Nicodemus’ plectranthus grew well in Mississippi.

‘Zig Zag’ scaevola is a striking plant that grows well in borders or containers.

Spring and early summer lacked sufficient rain at Mississippi State University's trials in Starkville. "We had regular rain showers through much of mid- to late-July," said Richard Harkess, associate professor. "The temperatures have been about average with highs ranging in the 90s."
