If you added yellow pansies back in March, they may still be hanging on to help some of the "gap" time. For next year anyhow. I have the same blue-gap that you have. Unfortunately I put some blue pansies in there in March and they are still hanging on. (its not seen close up so I can get away with a little legginess for awhile) My soft yellow yarrow, 'Anthea' is blooming now but in another bed. I am going to move some of it to my May Night purple-gap bed. I also have a low sedum that is blooming yellow now. And Maltese Cross (deep hot orange!) just opened last week. Its still young but got lots of potential. I love the rich color with blue/purple. 'Autumn Sunset' climbing rose is soft orange buds opening to soft yellow blooms. Easy care, tough rose. And how about a yellow hosta: If you decide to go the pink route instead of the yellow route, there are lots of early pink geraniums that fit the bill. And blushing pink Knockout rose is absolutely awesome with purple salvia. I have some with E. Friesland in my pink rose bed.

It's invasive here as well but I'd qualify that by saying if you love it, you'll be happy it spreads as quickly as it does. It's an attractive, zero-maintenance perennial that sustains pollinators so I'll admit I let it do its thing for the most part in my garden beds. Not even mulch spread over corrugated cardboard slows it down so I'm guessing unless I resort to chemicals (I wouldn't), it's here to stay since it spreads by runners. Do I wish they didn't spread by runners? Yup. Would I wish them gone? Nope. The bees, butterflies & hummingbirds need as much sustenance as my garden can give them each season. Oh yeah... word to the wise. I never planted ajuga in my cottage garden bed at the back of my garage but there's a HUGE patch of it growing where I never planted it. Be afraid... very afraid of it unless you really, really love it.

Chiming in late - planning to come with all I can manage, but this year's swap comes after a very busy week. Please be sure to let me know if you especially want any of these things, since I doubt I'll manage to bring them all! hostas (quite a few different types, unlabelled) fig cuttings from great Greek variety (not rooted) COLUMBINES (aguilegia) lots, mostly pale lilac, some darker daffodils (mostly yellow, also white with orange centers) French tarragon (Artemisia dracanculus) (up to 4 divisions) dill seedlings (Anethum graveolens) 1 ornamental sage I have the following, and would be happy to try carefully digging some for trades, but am not certain they will survive transplant borage (Borago officinalis) poppies river birch seedlings (Betula negra) I have lots of these, but will not bring them unless someone asks for some: periwinkle (vinca) St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) ferns of unknown variety I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Julie, this is an old thread and not quite the right forum either. Not too likely you will get your answer here. You might do better on the seed or plant forums or, there is one ( I think) thae is about sources. check toe list of forums. donna, it was fun reading this and seeing so many names we don't see much any more. Wonder where these folks are BB
