Re: [PRIMROSES] Companion plants

Diana:

I almost sent a similar message.  I've only seen pictures of Gunnera. How
tall do these get?  I need some taller plants to mix with gooseneck
loosestrife that would cover the foundation of a townehouse.  We aren't
allowed to plant our own shrubs but can do all the annuals, perennials or
bulbs we want.

Some one else mentioned cordalyis (not sure I'm remembering the spelling
right here).  Do you classify this as a perennial or a shrub?  I've seen it
both ways in catalogs and wonder?  If it is woody, then it would be
prohibited for me.

For those wondering about numbers, we now have 2 concealed members and 83
non-concealed members.  For those who may be concerned, the listowners have
this list set so only listowners can see the total list of members.
Hopefully this will help prevent spammers from getting this list and using
it for whatever....  I know I don't like the sexually explicit stuff that
gets sent me out of the blue and can only assume they got my email address
from SUITE101 where it is public knowledge or some other email list.

Would the person here who belongs to the primrose society please post the
information again.  You might even pick up some new members from this list.
One reason this list is being expanded to include all shade plants is that
there seemed to be so little interest in primroses.  I've just ordered a
nice selection of different species from the NARGS seed bank.  I've found
only 2 types are generally available here and then primarily in the middle
of winter when they are sold as "houseplants".  I don't find that they do
well inside our heated houses.  I know someone with an older home and rather
leaky windows--they do find for her.

I would like to remind everyone that Mallorn computing archives this list.

Hope you are continuing to enjoy the holidays.  If I didn't have
jack-in-the-pulpits blooming, amaryllis ready to start growing again (left
over from last year--hope they decide to bloom again), and hosta seed ready
to start, I would be getting a bad case of the winter blues.  Guess it is
time to take the hyacinth bulbs out and grow them in their water glasses.
Has anyone else done this?  My son gets upset with me because our "vegetable
tray" is turned over to bulbs every winter.
