My favorite grass both in pots (need to be divided yearly) and in my shade garden. Likes moist soil, and does well in shade. Stays in clump in the garden.

I love call lilies, they are my favorite...does anyone know about them being bad for cats and causing kidney failure... I have a cat but before planting need to know if I can!

Nigella will self-sow for a year or two in my Massachusetts garden. Not invasive though.

this ninebark i think is diablo. need some ninebark information/help.

I have a very hot and windy south west location here in Southern BC Canada....I want to plant some ninebark. One will go directly into ground and another want to plant in pot to keep it small. I have auto sprinkling sytem for them.

1. will the ninebark survive the extreme heat we tend to get in summer?

2. want to know if all ninebarks will survive in pots during summer and over winter...or do I need to take the pots into my unheated garage.

hope someone will read this and be of some help.

Astilbe lend a refined grace to perennial borders. Perfect for the shade garden along with Hostas and Ferns. Lush deeply cut foliage is attractive for the entire season and is colored from green to bronze. Effective anywhere with rich moist soil and partial shade.
Plant Care:
Low care. Needs moisture during dry spells. Best to clean up in the spring as seedheads are attractive. Can be divided every 3-5 years in early spring.

Big, beautiful flowers, which often have a delightful fragrance. Good plant for perennial borders, and their glossy green foliage forms a small shrub. Excellent cut flowers. Resistant to nearly all diseases and pests. Plant in spring after the ground warms to about 50F. Peonies may take a season to establish and and produce blooms.

An upright, tender evergreen perennial herb with fragrant, short green leaves. Pale blue flowers bloom in early summer. The tight branching and leaf arrangement make this an ideal plant for topiary work. Also wonderful in the herb garden or near entryways.




cherylad (2487) wrote the following about Veronica peduncularis 'Georgia Blue' on Mar 10 2013

Spreading and mounding selection with tiny oval leaves becomes topped with rounded blue flowers in late spring. The green foliage is evergreen in mild climates. Compact growth and spreading habit makes this a wonderful ground cover, especially for rock gardens. Also works nicely in mixed beds and as edgings. Easy to grow in any good, well-drained soil. Remove faded blooms to promote additional flowering. Water regularly for best display.
