I'm way behind, having been in Dallas for two weeks, attempting to survive
the heat (not as bad as California but not great) and the flash floods.
I definitely agree with Gene about the desirablility of the Jasione,
although it's smaller than a scabious in my garden.
Gene, there's a peach coloured astilbe (mine was just marked Peach when I
bought it) which is very pretty, and here in southern Ontario it does very
well in full sun. You might look around for that one. I've never met an
astilbe I didn't like, but some are better than others. Wish I hadn't lost
the tag on the dark red one beside the house, because it's another beauty.
The big Aruncus may be too big for some gardens-there's a small one called A
sylvestris (I think) that I've seen but not been able to get for my garden.
It's just as pretty but only about 18 inches tall.
