Re:poppies/coleus/wintering over

Marilyn, Select Seeds had Lauren's Grape as well as 13 other poppy offerings 
in their catalog.
    Marge, what kind of bugs do you get on your coleus?  I have found that if 
I take my cuttings earlier than at frost time they do survive the winter 
fine.  I have a 3' topiary of 'The Line' which I have had for 3 yrs.  This 
has a very woody trunk.  In the spring I cut it back to the main trunk and 
let it renew its self.
    My 10 x 22 garden room addition is stuffed.  My husband kept saying you 
will never get all of these in there.  But they are in!  I save very few 
annuals other than the coleus which I may have about 14 varieties potted.  I 
also have a columnar geranium I have had for a couple of yrs.  My hibiscus 
collection has grown to a total of 8.  Several are very sizable.
