Hi, Claire:
Would they do well in unamended clay too?
Another source is Carroll Gardens (www.carrollgarden.com,
1-800-638-6334)...they have:
S. grandiflora (macrantha) Robusta - deep pinky/purple
S. g. Superba - purple
S. lanata (byzantine, olympica) - wooly, grey foliage
S. l. Countess Helene von Stein (wooly, resists rot of above plant)
S. minor - deep rose/pink - bottle brush-like spikes - shiny, scalloped,
triangular
leaves that are aromatic when crushed - looks like a dwarf S. officinalis
S. minor 'Alba' - samw as above w/ white blooms
S. monnieri Hummelo - rose-purple - leathery basal rosette
S. m. Rosea - hyacinth pink bloom on shorter stems
m. R. Compacta - same as above but dwarf (12")
Hadn't given these plants any thought for awhile...nice.
Joanie
