I wasn't planning to buy any plants this year because we're redoing
the kitchen and I'm counting pennies, but at that price I figured
I could be at least a little naughty.  :)

Very nice list too!  You'll have to keep us updated!

I have a question about Amsonia as I've kind of given up on them.  
What's the secret to keeping them around?  Mine usually last about
three years and by then I have a large, fist-sized woody base that
decides not to come back the following spring.  I thought it might
need mulch like Heuchera, but that seems to speed up the process.

Any tips?

Chris
