Libby that is a great list Thank you . Bama would love to see what you find out after you search...I don't know most of those and don't have full sun . will check back and see what you find out. Caroline

Thanks, peren.all! That's a nice way of saying I'm a hopeless plant collector! ;-) I only got one bloom on my Bartzella last year, but I am hopeful it will continue to get better each year. I love orange, too, but only have one spot in the garden where it really fits in, especially in spring, when nearly everything is pastel. I have found Mystica much hardier and more vigorous than Penstemon 'Red Rocks' but those are the only two varieties I have tried. I just love how the bees climb right into the flowers until only their wiggly fuzzy rear ends are sticking out, honestly. I adore Blue Moon. It may be my favorite perennial - if it would just bloom a bit longer! I have huge clumps all over from the one I started with a few years ago. The Pieris is new, but then again, so is pretty much everything in my garden! The puschkinia was new last year, and I am rather hoping it is aggressive, since I have a huge woodland garden to fill and a small budget to do it! I suspect my squirrels will keep it in check though, as I keep catching them digging up the bulbs. Not eating them, mind. Just digging them up and leaving them to get frozen and mushy overnight. I admit... I have been "cheating" on this alphabet thing by sorting my garden spreadsheet alphabetically. Makes it easier to search once I remember I have something. Thanks for continuing to start threads. (Although GardenHo, I hope we see you back soon!)
