Is it the Speed well
Comments (1)Dang it wrong forum. Sorry...See MoreChoosing Roseary, Veronica (speedwell) or Hydrangea
Comments (1)Did you want blue flowers? Got that impression, since all of these come in at least blue, if not other colors also. If blue is not an overriding factor, I'd lean towards the hydrangea (it's pink and a pretty stable pink at that), as it's the right size and would prefer a part/morning sun location. And I'd opt for the veronica before the rosemary - veronicas come in a wide range of heights and they are very showy when in bloom. Rosemary can get BIG (where sufficiently hardy) and would be happiest in full, all day sun. May not like your summer humidity much, either....See MoreLove, love Veronica Royal Candles
Comments (83)Rouge, will definitely add pics next season when RC comes back established! Perhaps someone can help me on this one. When I bought my first 1g plant a few weeks ago (not the clearance one mentioned above) it was in full bloom from a nursery. I actually hated buying it as such because I know it's been greenhouse grown and pumped up and quite out of sync with the season. But it was the first place I had seen it. Got it home separated into two, sorry patent police. The stems were really woody, as were the roots, more like shrub. Is that how it grows? As I thought, the full blooms turned brown and spent after a few days of being planted. But where I had divided has started pushing up new, fresh growth from the base. I'm now wondering if this new growth will flower later in the season?...See MoreHere's a list of perennials requiring little or no care
