I like your observation that things are sometimes popular because they are weird. And also expensive. And also quite ugly.

I am a propagation nut. I have grown thousands of plants from seed. If it's expensive and doesn't last a long time (digitalis mertonensis is a prime example) I grow it. I have grown balloon flowers in white, blue and perlemutter. I also grow lots of annuals. Some of them you only have to grow once. Start verbena bonariensis and put it out, and afterwards you just have to pull the excess, which is fine because the rootball is tiny. Have you seen what catalogs charge for that? I love growing double feverfew and arabis caucausica and heuchera 'Firefly'. It's really neat if you want a border plant like fragaria vesca reugen and can grow 20 and put them all around your property.

Easy on the wallet too. Good for me because I love sumptuousness.
