Re: Verbascums & things

Hi
I am new to this list  and before I introduce myself I want to make a comment
on how tall plants are "supposed to be"..I don't know about anyone else, but
my plants always seem to grow larger & taller than what the plants tags say-
not that I am complaining, but I have had to move many things to the back of
the garden..oh well, not a complaint just a thought...
I live in Connecticut, a zone 6 in my area (central CT).  I started gardening
about eight years ago when we bought our first home.  You can read more about
the ways and wherefores at:

I am under the name: Sweetannie53

My loves are perennials/herbs.  I buy annuals as fillers, usually zinnias.
Last year was the first time I used zinnias and they blew me away.  They kept
my gardens looking perky right through frost.  So of course I had to have more
this year and some have started to bloom.  They aren't the typical orange,
yellow, but more pinks.
I have seven separate gardens on about a 1/4 acre of land and more are in
planning stages.  Planning is what I do all winter long.  I usually have a
"project" each gardening season.  Next year I am going to stop procrastinating
and keep a journal.  Do any of you keep one?
My favorite garden centers in CT are:  Dietrich's (Cheshire); Country Flower
Farms (Middlefield) Natureworks (Northford) and Salem Country Gardens (Salem),

I am also on  a major quest for two new varieties of perennials that were
offered at Natureworks but missed out on and have to wait until next year :~(
they are:  Alamantha (turbith var haynaldii) and Patrinia.  Both of these
plants resemble Queen Anne's Lace, except Patricia is a soft yellow.  If you
know where I can get these, please let me know!
