Hi Cameron! All Achilleas really need to be divided every three years. In 2007 I didn't get around to it and as a result, last year it had dwindled to almost nothing. (It didn't help that I was working 60 hours a week, including weekends so my garden suffered a lot.) Anyway, this year of course it was gone, so I decided to try something new - Penstemon dark towers. I planted one as a test last year and it took off, so we'll so how it all pulls together. I do plan to eventually put in Summerwine again, but first I need to add back in some sand. The clay soil that I have does not do those plants any favors. MXK3, glad to hear you like that combo. It was a happy accident, but a very pretty one.

I am planting a personal cutting garden this year as well. I used the "plans for cutting gardens" from Gardener's Supply Co. as a jumping off point. My garden is a mix of perennials & annuals, although heavier on the annuals. Among the perennials I have yarrow (achillea), coreopsis, shasta daisy, dianthus, echinacea, scabiosa, lavendar, campanula. I have also included glads & dahlias. I had plans for more bulbs, but my budget wouldn't allow them this year. I did almost everything from seed. There is a plan for a perennial cut-flower garden here: http://gardening.about.com/od/gardendesignplans/ig/Perennial-Cutting-Garden/Perennial-Cutting-Garden.--d0.htm and another here: http://erthturf.com/DesignsPerennialGardensCutflower.html Also, there are lots of books with plans & ideas at the library. Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: plans for a cutting garden
