I agree. It\'s a tough and beautiful plant. The peony is Cornelia Shaylor. The fun part is that after the peonies are gone it keeps rolling. You can see the peony rings. The salvia pretty much continues through successive sharp frosts. The blue plant is cynoglossum, and old cottage garden plant. I have never seen it in a garden center. It\'s easy to start from seed, and then the seeds are sticky, so if rabbits pass through your yard it clings to them and they spread it around. Easy to pull out, and what other plant has so intense a blue color? It goes with a whole bunch of plants. I love it with lilies. This is lilium regale album. I love icy blue with white! I have regales in my new yard, and I am going to punch them up with some cynoglossum.
