Comments (1)I will probably have various perennial seeds for flowers such as: several colors of lantana coneflower gerbera daisy hummingbird vine various mystery perennials Some herb seeds: spearmint catnip catmint Plus some vegetable seeds and maybe a few potted rosemary plants, and some Lipstick Strawberry runners. I am mostly interested in edibles, but some robust survivors that can tackle living under a pine tree are high on my "wants" list....See MoreStrawberries as groundcover
Comments (1)Your post really did not require any response but brought some thoughts. At my daughter's house the two sorts of pink or red flowering hybrid strawberry plants, one called 'Lipstick' have spread aggressivly in her front sunny bed and make an interesting and colorful groundcover. She has, on a weekly basis, the need to turn the runners back into the bed before they invade the lawn. I suppose she could use a string trimmer or lawn edger to cut them off. They do not seem to smother or successfully inhibit many sorts of weeds but do give a summertime scattering of bright flowers and an occasional small berry....See MoreWANTED: native grasses and plants

Comments (4)LOL, global warming has not been on my side so far. It seems that whenever I try to push a zone with a plant, I lose. Others are successful, but maybe I just don't understand my own garden's microclimates. Since it knocks back hard for you, I don't think I'll plant it. I'll have to search for something else unless someone up here has had years of success with it. Thank you!...See MoreLynda Waldrep
