Re: perennials in drifts

Hi Gene:

If I sow seeds in early Feb. just put them outside as I guess they need a
cold snap to germinate?  Will look for some seeds this weekend.  Right now I
can get seeds at our stores here usually about 40% off the price of a pack.
Haven't seen any Thompson & Morgan seeds put out for sale in the stores.
If not, I'll send for some.
Do they only come in blue?  They sound nice will go to my reference book
this morning and check them out a bit.  Thanks again for the advice.  We
have a lot of hot sun here and a lot of strong winds which come up the
valley from the South exposure in the summer.
Kate
