Chris, I really love this plant and want to get a few more varieties. The rosey-pink color is gorgeous, as mine are now. I don't know if the heat and lack of rain has anything to do with them fading as you suggested. Since they bloom right into frost (here in CT) will have to see. But we have had rain, oh boy, we sure have. Last night I forgot I hadn't moved my seedlings to an overhang under the garage and it was pouring! I jump out of bed and run out to save them ;~), needless to say, I was drenched. Now it is the next day, sunny (for a while anyway, predicting another thunder boomer later), so have to go back out and move them to the sun.

- Prev by Date: Re: NorthHill Symposium/Native PlantsStacey, it sounds like the whole symposium and tour was very interesting, I'm not familiar with Tres Fromme but agree that he's right about gardening being an unnatural act. A really natural garden would have an awful lot of undesirable plants (i.e. weeds) although the gardener wouldn't have to do anything to do it, either. If you do anything, you're interfering with nature, after all. That said, I think there are good reasons for using native plants, particularly in these times of drought and generally strange weather. "Natives" endure.But what are native plants? Tony Avent of Plants Delight has been quoted as saying that all plants were native before the continents split. True enough. Yet, as has been discussed on this list, some plants are terribly invasive when imported to new areas. Moderation in all things.
