Amaranthus spinosus

Hibiscus have not broken ground yet for me, very late risers in cold climates. I was thinking perhaps a taller Campanula such as 'Kent Belle'

Fellow Penta lover here too! Hi Carol! Right now i only have tall red ones that are my favorite. I hope to start a half dozen cuttings tomorrow after I get a bag of medium. How do you start yours? I had planned on using the rooting powder method since I haven’t had real good luck with just starting in water. Thats interesting you have volunteers. Never seen that before but it doesn’t surprise me! This month its 16 years I’ve been gardening at this home and I have to say I learn something new every week with regards to Florida gardening. My front beds/yard is in the process of a big re-do but I did have the short (18”) dark pink Pentas there that came back bigger and better each year. They’re a great plant for the bees and butterflies. Hummingbirds seem to ignore all except for the tall reds. The one plant I have a love/hate relationship with is purple porter weed. Now there’s one that throws volunteers everywhere! Great if you have the space for it. Easy to pull and transplant though.

In my neck of the woods that would be Draba verna, Early or Common Whitlow Grass. Don’t know if that would occur where you are.
