The crotons were easy enough to identify but I wasn't sure what a couple of my other plants were. Enter my heroes, the volunteers manning the UW Extension horticultural helpline.
Give these fine folks a call with all your gardening drama and they will have all kinds of helpful suggestions. You can even send them an email with your plant photos and they can help identify what you have. Their knowledge is amazing!
How do I overwinter my coleus? They can help! What is causing the holes on my leaves? They can help! Is my plant a dumbcane or dieffenbachia? They can help! Each county in Wisconsin has an extension office. It's free to contact yours. I sent my extension office an email and got the answers needed to keep these guys happy.
The verdict: Dieffenbachia |
I neglected to consider where I would put my outside plants once winter came. Oops! |
