Re: need your thoughts on some plants please.

I planting Lime Rickey last summer - gorgeous, fresh looking chartreuse leaves... (some people say it looks like young lettuce seedlings??). Can't give you a report yet on how it did over the winter... hoping for vigor!

I've seen Lime Ricky and it is gorgeous. I'm waiting for the price to come down or to get a piece of crown from a friend ;-)

One of my favorite nurseries (garden center) notified me of a
few new plants
they are carrying this season.... (Nice when they call to let
you know and
offer to hold any.. yeah, it a marketing sale, but I appreciate it!)

So who knows about these plants? (Kitty, since this was over
the phone,
please correct my spelling!)

Echinacea purpurea 'doubledecker' This sure sounds like
razzmatazz (or am I
confused again), 2-tiered, rose pink coneflower with short
petals from the
top of the cone....anyways, I want one of these ! :)

He is also going to carry sunrise and sunset, but unless
someone here talks
me into those... doubt they are for me.

He also has expanded the heuchera line to include 'lime Rickey',
'Marmalade', 'Obsidian', and heucherella 'Stoplight'. Duh...
any of those
peak an interest? I think I have marmalade and stoplight
already, but need
to check if they made it.

Also carrying Sanguisorba. I am not familiar with these at
all! But has
obtuse, as well as officinalis 'Pink Tanna' and 'Tanna'

So gang... thoughts?
