Re: Peach and salmon-colored flowers

Hi every body,


And so do I, orange et salmon flowers are my favorites.
I have an Agastache "Acapulco Salmon Rose Bicolor" which is wonderful, flowering from june to november here in south of France. Watered once a week in summer. 
I planted in 2006 Eremurus "Cleopatre" which is described as orange, but for me is pale salmon colored. It flowered for the first time this spring and was a very good partner with Rosa 'Phyllis Bide" which is quite the same color and flowered at the same time. What a good surprise for me ! I moved in 2001 and brought back with me those Eremurus bulbs that I shifted many times all around my garden, trying to find the right place for them.

Hi All,
Thanks for all the great ideas on peach-colored flowers!  Agastache, Arctotis, Alstroemeria, Salvia and Pelargonium are all good picks: some I already have in my garden.
Agastache has flowered for me, but never really taken off; another salmon flower might be that summer blooming small hybrid aloe (Johnson's something?).

I looked up Collomia grandiflora, and it looks charming, maybe just right for some of the more woodsy native areas of the garden.

Does anyone have much experience with Hemerocallis?  I think I've disdained the genus because they're easy to grow, but I'm considering some shorter varieties to complement Limonium perezii.  'Apricot Sparkles', 'Blythe Belle', and 'Pixie Parasol' all look nice in pictures: does anyone know more, like how long will they bloom?

Thanks!
