question about larkspur & stocks
Comments (3)They are not the same, though I can see how you might think otherwise. Larkspur are taller and far easier to grow. Stocks are highly fragrant (and tough to grow in the south). Expect the larkspur to come up in the next 1-3 weeks. The plants will form ground hugging rosettes of leaves that will over winter. When spring comes, they will shoot up tall and bloom gloriously, usually with roses and tall bearded iris. If your stocks come up, and if they don't get frozen back, they will bloom in the early springtime. In zone 7, those can be big ifs. If you wait to sow till spring, though, they don't typically have time to bloom before hot weather moves in and finishes them off. Typically, it is recommended that you set out bedding plants in the fall, or plant early blooming varieties in late winter to early spring....See MoreQuestion about Galvanized Stock Tanks

Comments (14)Lovefornature, My bed with the liatris is mostly yellows, whites, and purples. The purples are a bit of a hodgepodge of reddish to bluish purples. That is always the problem with purple. This half-circle bed is big enough so that the reddish ones can be placed on the left and the bluer ones are kept to the right side. I have a variegated miscanthus grass (green and white) and several burning bushes in the background, along with a high pruned and heavily thinned crabapple tree in the center. Underplantings include several clumps of purple coneflower, a large purple daylily which is very similar in color to the Kobold, a white daylily (which means in dl speak slightly yellow), yellow trumpet lilies (quite tall), several Moonshine (yellow) yarrows (also tall), a big clump of balloon flowers (blue purple), two varieties of bellflower (lighter blue purple to darker blue purple), lactiflora and glomerata (milky and clustered), several Purple Dome asters for fall color, a large stand of Becky Shasta daisies, a small clump (3 plants and still small after 3 seasons) of digitalis grandiflora (soft yellow), some Moonshine coreopis, an edging to the right front of sedum mediovariegata (yellow variegated), and sedum Frosty Morn (white & green variegated) to the rear around the miscanthus, and probably a half dozen other plants I forgot. If it were me planting your area, I would plant the clear bright red Jacob Kline monarda somewhere else in your garden. The rest of your selections would work well together with the liatris. Purples and bright red can work together and be very striking, but you need to get the combo exactly right, usually with a nice quantity of dark, chartreuse, or bronzy foliage. Also the monarda is a fast grower and your bed could quickly become the "red garden". Raspberry Wine monarda, which someone else mentioned, would work well I think with liatris....See MoreQuestions about stock size for stone countertop?
Comments (1)HD and Lowes sell stock sizes. You could call them and ask. I got the brochure yesterday. When I go downstairs I will get it and report back if no one replies. Or just call Lowes and HD. Come to think of it I believe those are stock sizes for bath rooms (meaning they may not be as deep). Bob...See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
