Re: Peach and salmon-colored flowers

Hi Ben,

I'm also a lover of peach/salmon/apricot!  So least year I was delighted to find Arctotis 'Peachy Mango' at Sperling Nursery (close to you I think). The two I tried have been growing and blooming for over a year as long as I kept them dead-headed. They require little water making them good companions for other dry soil plants.  Each one has spread to about 2+ ft. but now are looking rather tired with fewer blooms. So I'm thinking of dividing them this fall if I can, or rooting a few of the outside shoots to get new plants.

And Karrie, you make me want to try the Salvia greggii San Takao; wonder where I could find it here in Southern Cal.

Also the bearded iris Beverly Sills is a lovely soft peach color and  touted as a re-bloomer, but alas, even then the bloom time is short!
