Hummingbird plants are bushy plants that reach heights of 2 feet (1 m.), with a spread of about 3 feet (1 m.). The velvety leaves and stems are an attractive shade of grayish-green. Masses of bright, reddish-orange flowers at stem tips are upright and tube-shaped, making it easy for hummingbirds to reach the sweet nectar.

Although we are most accustomed to seeing graceful ferns throughout woodlands and forests where they nestle under tree canopies, they are equally attractive when used in the shady home garden.

Available mostly in December

Moneywort is a creeping perennial broadleaf weed that is also commonly known as Creeping Loosestrife, Yellow Myrtle, Creeping Jenny, Creeping Charlie, Herb Twopence and Two-penny Grass. Its scientific name is Lysimachia nummularia.

Moneywort forms mats of laterally branched stems and can be easily identified by the smooth, glandular dots on the surface of its leaves. This broadleaf weed also has short petioles and stems that root at the nodes, producing a shallow root system. Moneywort is sometimes sold in nurseries as a ground cover. Moneywort also has bright-yellow flowers that are produced individually on stalks in the leaf axils.

Cycad plants are handsome, palm-like plants (often referred to as palms) with legendary ancient ancestry in the plant kingdom. Today they're among the most eye-catching landscape plants in Kenya.
