I've Been Googling Plants

Now that christmas is out of the way my thoughts have turned to what I'm going to grow from seed in 2019. So while Old Misery was nursing her hangover I got googling.
I need some suitably stupid plants to try to grow here in the UK and so inspired by my Justicia rizzinii which is almost in bloom in a sheltered spot I started looking at the wider Justicia genus and found a few contenders. Justicia is in the Acanthaceae family so I broadened my search to that, specifically from South Africa.

If you're bored it's well worth a look.

This is just a small selection of what I looked at but I have found seeds for all the above. Just need to make a selection now.

Now that is an onion!!!

What's the flavour like though?

 

I have looked at Plantz Africa for years as their plants suit my climate. They do have to die for plants.
