RE: Blue/green perennials/botanical names of plants

Hi Louise,

So nice to have some of you from the "other side of the pond" join us!

I saw the plant you referred to in I think Fine Gardening magazine,
recently.  It is truly a stunner.  I didn't follow through on locating it
because it would be an annual for my winter temperatures.  In what type of
environment will it reseed well?

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
