>Comfrey leaves are much larger. Sage, more oval shaped leaves instead of arrow shaped leavesThere is more than one kind of each, in the latter instance a heckuvahlot more kinds. Try putting up better pictures to get useful answers, all there is to go by here is a tuft of leaves that can't actually be seen all that well. If you showed it flowering you could probably find out what you wanted to know right away.

Suz, Like Rob, I'm no expert, but I'll give you any info I can. First of all, your Morning Glories won't be Spring bloomers, and I don't think they're your best choice for hummers. A better choice (and still in the Morning Glory family) is Cypress Vine (Hiedra colorada). You can get the seeds at Walmart, and they will quickly fill in a trellis. My hummers love the beautiful red flowers. Nasturtiums are well behaved in pots, and aren't too fussy about sunlight, as long as they get 3-4 hours at some point during the day. 'Empress of India' is a beautiful red variety, and the seeds can also be bought at WM. As Rob has suggested, a good idea is to get Salvias from a nursery. I got a six-pack of 'Lady in Red' last year for about $3, and they were bloomin' in no time. 'Black & Blue' and 'Hot Lips' are 2 other good varieties, and the 'B&B' would do well in your 14" X 14.5" pot. Someone posted a chart on this forum last year that listed the sugar content of nectar from various flowers. The nectar from 'Lady in Red' was almost 1/3 sugar; that's like us mixing nectar at a 1:2 ratio instead of a 1:4!! And yes, the traffic will pick up here as the hummers move North, but it will never get so busy that you can't catch up if you miss 3-4 days. Here is what Cypress vine looks like in full bloom:

Bleeding hearts are getting a little tired looking about now - you can cut it back now - and I'd do it as far down as the stem stubs can be hidden by the hostas. I like to leave a few inches on my bleeding hearts so I know where they are and don't accidentally dig over them before they emerge in the spring. I would not cut peonies back yet; spent blooms are okay to cut so a lot of energy isn't expended in seed production. Next year's buds will not be affected by cutting just the spent blooms. But leave the foliage until around the time of the first frost at least.

Speaking of annuals for reliable, long lasting color and easy filler, if you want to add some easy and nice touches of color and texture to grasses in a hell strip its hard to beat Indian Blanket cooking in the hot sun out there by the street. They are a new addition to mine and I like the way they look in late afternoon sun with all the fuzzy balls catching the light the same way the grass seeds do. Its easy to pull any unwanted volunteers or yank the whole plant before the seeds shatter. Next year the strip will all have more little bluestem among the flowers since I added several small plants. In truth I'm mainly interested in showing my state pride because Indian Blanket is Oklahoma's designated state wildflower. (do you believe that?) Each helianthus annum plant makes neat and tiny bouquet of solid yellow from spring to fall, they don't get very tall in full sun but they really do like to self sow. They add so much color I don't object personally but they along with lazy daisy would definitely turn a buffalo grass lawn into more of a 6 to 8" low growing meadow so that depends on personal taste. They both stay low in height. Interestingly, they are coming up in various spots downhill from my house, some quite some distance away, they love cracks in sidewalks or by curbs in the street. I also saw some suspiciously familiar looking rudbeckia hirta down there too coming up in the crack of a driveway about 9 houses down the hill.
