Re: [SG] Bloom time

Hello Pottsey,
        How a bout a couple of questions? You mention liking your mother's garden.
What kind of perennials, annuals, herbs, etc does she grow? Is it an "old
fashioned" garden? You did give one hint and that is liking strong color in
bloom.
        There is an almost unending list to consider for plants that bloom during
the period you are wanting information on. It will not be difficult to fill
the area with colorful perennials that enjoy the shade.
