Well, some of these are still alive here in Tennessee but a lot are dead and/or sad. Carex, Heuchera, some Hosta, other plants that I was pushing their hardiness too. But I finally found Carex 'Banana Boat' and got all of them potted up in size. They are really beginning to shine. Hope this Carex is tougher than zero degrees though. Funny how well the wildflowers are doing after the wet year and 19 year old lows. All the natives have been beautiful.

Today I went to a local hardware store and found lots and lots of quart and gallon-sized perennials for $2.50 apiece. I loaded up: 

   1 Ajuga reptans 'Silver Queen'
3 Armeria martima 'Nifty Thrifty' 1 Dicentra eximia 1 Heucera villosa 'Autumn Bride' 
   3 Heuchera americana 'Dale's Strain'
   3 Heuchera Kira[TM] Evergreen Forest
1 Heuchera 'Lime Marmalade' 2 Heucherella 'Gold Strike' 2 Hosta 'Ann Kulpa' 2 Hosta 'Moonstruck' 2 Hosta 'Praying Hands' 2 Hosta 'Queen Josephine' 3 Hosta 'Vulcan' 2 Lewisia longipetala 'Little Plum' 1 Lychnis viscaria 'Splendens Fire' 1 Nepeta x fassenii 'Kit Kat' 2 Origanum vulgare 'Kent Beauty' 
   1 Phlox paniculata 'Nora Leigh'    2 Prunella 'Summer Daze'
   1 Sedum reflexum 'Blue Spruce'
   1 Sedum spurium 'Tricolor'
   1 Sempervivum 'Kalinda'    1 Sempervivum 'Royal Ruby'
   1 Sempervivum 'Silverine'    1 Sempervivum x roseum 'Ruby Heart'
A lot of these are old friends in the garden that I'm duplicating
in another new location, second or third chancers following an untimely death in another growing season, or just fillers. It was nice to get a bunch of inexpensive plants to replace the ones that died last year -- mostly Hosta in pots.
What new plant friends have you acquired this year? Or what perennials 
were you sad to lose this winter?
