Hi fellow Longislander! I can't find an email on your member page. I have some tall Joe Pye (about 5-6')at the back of my boarder and saved some seed last year. If you would like some, send me an email. Nancy

I have all 3. The purpureum is in the shade since it will tolerate it. I have it back with the spicebush, hoping it will provide some nectar for spicebush swallowtails if they ever bother to show up at my house. Since it is in the shade, it gets little activity. The fistulosum is shorter than the maculatum. I've gotten a few good butterfly pics on the fistulosum but the maculatum is the clear winner in my book. My maculatum gets lots of business. Got very tall last year vs other years. It will be much shorter this year because we have gotten little rain. KC

CLBlakey, I had no idea how toxic I was, until I did a search online!!! Since it was what the landscape designer suggested, I just wanted to check to see how it looked, then I found out that it was that toxic! WOW! Now, CLBlakey and Terry, tell me though, does Monkshood at least look good?! How tall did it get for you? Now, I am wrecking my brain, trying to think of something tall and good looking that will be perfect for that partial shade spot with moist soil behind the Incrediball hydrangeas... so far, JPW Gateway is still leading. How about bugbane (with the tall, dark leaves?) or Ligularia with those tall yellow spikes? Aruncus would have been perfect if the plumes were not white.... sigh! Any more suggestion would be very much appreciated!
