Hi Jeanne Thanks for writing. I do have the variegated Elderberry in quart size & Larger as well as some small ones as well as 3 different clones of Johnsons Blue type and another blue called Phillipe Vapelle. I am very interested in your 2 different purple Astilbe, Tiarella Stoplight and any blue flowered Pulmonarias. I would love to do a trade with you. Where are you located?

I'm glad you all like it! linda_jo, I actually don't fertilize much anymore. I was a roseaholic before I branched out into wintersowing, so most of my garden beds already existed for a few years and had lots of mushroom compost already on them and in them. The also hav the other fertilizer stuff you get into if you grow roses, like seaweed and alfalfa. The alfalfa is really great stuff because it contains tricontanol which stimulates root growth. I also mulch like crazy, which will also eventually add good texture to the soil. If they are growing in good soil, your perennials will start looking great in their second year of growth, and before you know it, you'll be worrying about them crowding each other out.

It's so tough to pick a favorite out of all those beauties! If I could choose three to purchase right now, I'd take T.Tigress, (need more oranges) Larry Grace, (need more yellows) Clockwork, (a unique yellow-gold on my monitor) You are so lucky to get re-bloom in the South. I rarely see it in my zone. Thanks for sharing your beauties, Julie

We are in west central Indiana and we love late bloomers. We appreciate ones such as Autumn Minaret, but our favorites are lates with teeth, edges, eyes, etc. We grow mostly tetraploid lates, but there are a lot of diploid lates. Here are some of my favorites. North Wind Dancer is a late blooming diploid. It increases fast in our garden. Last Man Standing is showy. Carrots Forever is a good grower.Cactus Blossom is another good grower.Deborah Cooney is another great grower. Sonoran Desert Rose, our introduction, is a great grower--tall, vigorous, and hardy. Time doesn't allow me to post all my pictures but you might check out Crossfire, Reindeer Antlers (both red), Ruffled Strawberry Parfait, Techny Peach Lace, Buena Fortuna. We have a section on late bloomers on our website. You can see pictures of more there. The web address is cherryhillgarden.plantfans.com. Nancy
