I've had a few shooting stars over the years, but they've been short-lived.  
They were getting too expensive to replace, but these new ones at $4/pot were 
priced to sell. 

Interestingly, I had one that I overwintered in a pot for ten years from my 
mailorder nursery days, but when I finally put it into the ground last year 
it died.  Good drainage and all that, so who knows.  :)

I have a section of yard by the neighbor's driveway where everything has 
coincidentally died.  I think I'm going to move the blackberries and 
raspberries there and plant some of the more aggressive perennials around 
them.  That will eliminate the other problem of raspberries running rampant 
through the more desirable perennial beds.
