Hi Ginger. I would be interested in both of these and some others from your list. I didn't see any salvias on your list so I don't know what you already have, but please take a look at my list and see if there is anything you would like. Becky ramazz

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!

It's an interesting plant. There are 3 different variations. Pluchea odorata/marsh fleabane, Pluchea odorata odorata/sweetscent, and Pluchea odorata succulenta/saltmarsh fleabane. I wonder which variation your specimen is? I couldn't find any online info about how to key them, but I'm sure Weakley's flora would have it. http://herbarium.unc.edu/flora.htm

I hope I'm as happy with it. I pulled up a daylily last night to plant it. I wanted something for the pollinators but it's been sitting out in the garden bed in its pot and haven't seen any activity yet. I'm having trouble figuring out if it's in bloom or old blooms. Reminds me of my yarrow after they fade but still kind of looks like it's blooming.
