[SHADEGARDENS] Catalog suggestion & Question

Hi:

I want to suggest one of my favorite perennial catalogs.  You get "liners",
or small potted plants but they always do super for me.  Bluestone
perennials can be contacted at 1-800-852-5243 and their catalog is free.
They're also online:  http://bluestoneperennials.com/

Was just thinking last night that I'd have to call and request a copy when
it turned up in my mailbox.  I feel their prices are very reasonable even if
you decide on the larger size plants.

One of the nice features is a collector's corner.  Examples:  Lamium pink
pewter (3 / $8.25 and Primula japonica Millers Crimson at 3 for $10.25.
Mums are as low as 6 for 6.25.  One of the things that surprises me is that
their shipping charges decreases with the more that you buy. If you buy $75
and over, shipping and packing is FREE.  They also have primula auricala
alpina at 3 for $8.75.  I know who to call now if my seeds fail!

Another plant I am tempted by is Clethera Hummingbird (shrub actually). Has
anyone grown this?  The description says only 1-2' tall which would be ideal
for a border I want to make to separate my backyard (10'x10') from my
neighbor's.
