Re: perennials DIGEST V3 #23

I forgot to add that I bought a big bag of purple tulips at Briggs, too.
Interesting - the Van Engelen tulips are very uniform in size (big) and the
ones from the bag from the store are not.  Predictable, I suppose.

  Hi.  I had nearly 80 clematis at my last garden and I can tell you that
covering their feet is not an issue.  Proper planting and regular watering is
the issue.  Once they become woody at the base, watering is not as big an
issue.

  Having corydalis lutea seeding around the base is an idea I had. It will
  grow and fill in any areas that the sun would expose and the clematis will
  help keep the corydalis a little shaded.  I haven't done this yet.  Maybe

  Corinne, I always use ajuga (especially the Chocolate Chip ajuga) to
  shade the clematis roots and mark the location. That way it's a
  perennial too.

  Also: to Chris Lindsey
  Hi Chris,
      Great pic of salvia guaranitica on your Web site. I had one last
  summer from Prairie Gardens and I loved it .... but it seems to have
  been strictly annual here and now PG doesn't have it this year. Any idea
  where I can get one locally?
  Thanks,
  Susan (who's just returned from a mad plant-buying trip to the Flower
  Factory in Wisconsin and has lots of planting to do!)

  What are the best perennials to plant at the base of Clematis?

  What do you think of Pelegoniums as a choice?

  Thank you,
