Shamrock Iron Cross is a charming plant admired for its distinctive foliage and delicate flowers. It is commonly referred to as the "Iron Cross" due to the unique marking on its leaves resembling a cross.

Light Requirement: Shamrock Iron Cross thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch its foliage.

Watering Requirement: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Mature Height: Shamrock Iron Cross typically grows to a height of 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm), forming a compact mound of foliage. Regular pinching back of stems can help maintain its compact shape and encourage bushier growth.

With a simple retro modern silhouette and a reactive glaze finish, the tonal design of the Pacifico Pot offers sophisticated style.

Parsley Pea seeds produce tendrils that are unique and delicious. Technically a snap pea, this curious pea is more often grown for its edible tendrils, leaflets, and flowers. Harvest whole plants when they are 15-20cm (6-8") tall or cut above the first node and get a second flush of growth. Plants will produce snap peas at about 60 days on 1m (3') tall vines if not harvested for greens. Try growing Parsley Peas in a 5-gallon patio container or in flower boxes, and harvest the fresh tendrils as needed. They make a fresh and crunchy addition to salads and sandwiches.

Give each peony plant enough space to grow to maturity without being crowded. That means a 3- to 4-foot diameter for each plant. Choose a location that is sheltered from strong winds. The large heavy blooms of this plant can cause the stems to flop over during heavy rain and inclement weather. Your peonies will benefit from some type of support staking. Plant them well away from other trees and shrubs, since they don't like to compete for nutrients and water.

Peonies like a good chill in the winter. In order to set their flower buds, peony roots should be planted relatively close to the soil surface—only about 2-to 3-inches deep.
