Re: Spring Perennials/ Combinations/ Anemone
Hello Susan,
There are more blue flowers than Morning Glories... check out the Gentiana.
Especially the summer and fall blooming species. Easy to grow and absolutely
gorgeous blue flowers.... Plenty of species and hybrids to play with in the
garden. Size range from pancake to over knee high, bloom shape from bottle to open
flared trumpets. Shade to full sun. Something for everyone.
When referring to having difficulty obtaining Anemone sylvestris I was
speaking of obtaining them wholesale for the nursery and a few for my garden. Come
to think of it, when ordering the selected forms from other nurseries they have
been out as well. Perhaps I will remember to try once more this coming spring.
