Poor Man's Orchids (Schizanthus)

Schizanthus is a native plant from Chile and can withstand temperature differences. They tolerate heat and can even tolerate cold down to -7 degrees. Schizanthus is a compact plant with fern-like leaves and clusters of flowers that resemble orchids.

It blooms for a long time, from early spring until well into summer. When the Schizanthus has finished flowering, you must prune it back so that it starts to sprout and bloom again.

The Farmer's Orchids are fun to combine with different types of Petunias.
