That's ok, questions get answered here too.

Red is one of my favorite colors in the garden, and I still don't feel like I have enough red flowers! So far, I have Achillea 'Walter Funke', Achillea 'Paprika', Gaillardia 'Burgundy', Gaillardia 'Goblin' (red & yellow), Lychnis chalcedonica, Penstemon pinifolius 'Compactum', Rudbeckia 'Cherry Brandy', several daylilies, and dianthus. Dianthus 'Ideal Select Red' is listed as an annual, but mine usually come back a 2nd, and sometime third year, plus it wintersows well. This year, I sowed 'Sooty' and 'Black Magic', and can't wait to see them bloom. Crocosmia 'Lucifer' is also a great red, but mine didn't return this year. I think it's borderline hardy for my zone. Here are a couple pics of my reds: Lychnis chalcedonica Gaillardia 'Burgundy' Dianthus 'Ideal Select Red' Achillea 'Walter Funke' BTW, I'm hosting the Color of the Month Swap on the Round Robin forum, and the color this month happens to be red : ) Sign ups are until the 14th, and there is no minimum required to participate, so if you want to increase the red in your garden, please join us!

I also replant them all as one bush...they grow to be very impressive very quickly. Some rose enthusiasts denouce these as 'throwaway roses' since most of the time they are unnamed varieties...but in reality I love the grocery store mini rose for the very reason that you can get 4 plants in one and I have had very good luck with replanting these and having them knock my socks off and outperform other minis. I actually just bought one from Whole Foods today on an impulse, the bush is huge and it's 4 plants with a very large (for a mini) pure soft pink bloom, very beautiful. It'll be great in my patio garden. Good luck!
