Janis,
Didn't know there were tall Veronicas, that would be fine for the site. I
lost my aconitums this year but they would be all through blooming by
now. What kind are you growing? Mine were from seed and don't know the
species. Usually bloom in June. The early bloom of these aconitums was
kind of disappointing as I understood that they were late summer
bloomers. They're pretty though. Have always been tempted by agapanthus,
too.
Now I'm armed with info and will have to head to the catalogues. Thanks
so much.
