i have rosary plant vines, they start very well in water, greenish silver heart shaped leaves

Since I posted I have come up with quite a few money saving ideas! :) And would you know it, the lychnis I have is part of it. I think I could work them right in to the landscaping. I am glad you think so, too. I am also thinking of substituting the barberry I was thinking of buying with my Burning Bushes I have. I am thinking the common privet I have as well. I really like the look of kolkwitzia - do you know if I can keep pruning it to keep it rather small? Thank you for your suggestion, Minnamouse!

I'm trying to get perennials going, especially gypsophilia paniculata, but it hasn't bloomed yet, tried some crushed drywall (chalky) to lower the ph a little. Coreopsis went double on me, loved that, but hard to train right, cut it back. I have grown annual salvia 2 years now but want to go perennial where I used that, blue crystal this year and sangria last year, also a freebie yellow coneflower looks nice, meadow sage is good, haven't had time to mulch it yet and can't get that bed watered much. Some Color Parade lilies. Trying to get some delphs and white foxglove going. Crazy daisy should bloom next year. And catmint, not doing much this year but hangin' in there. Annual alyssum is very drought tolerant. White, pink and purple phlox. I stuck in some Rudbeckia Prairie Sun, very striking but not where it is, supposed to self-seed. I want something medium height or tallish with purple bells. What might that be? Failed twice trying to get campanula? ladybells going from seed, will give it one more shot. Russian sage I love but it gets too big, should try to find the smaller variety. Finally, clematis. Have two kinds going well now; one too young yet, one won't bloom, and one isn't happy where I put it. Many of the plants people in warmer zones are using doubt will grow in my zone.

just bumping this up. Hoping to plant the area this Spring.
