I added these to my garden last spring from Bluestone Perennials. This is the first year that they are really looking pretty good, and wanted to share some pictures with you. I do have to stake them, b/c they were getting a little floppy, but I think they are worth the effort.
Another picture of them
And one more . . .
Just Gorgeous!!
Simply stunning! I've so enjoyed seeing the progress of your garden, it has matured so beautifully. I love the color scheme, my very favorites! What is that Phlox you have blooming so early? Seems the P.paniculatas typically bloom later in summer.
gemini,
It's Phlox glaberrima "Morris Berd ". It's the earliest blooming phlox that I have in my garden. I also have some maculata's that bloom way before the paniculata's but my "morris berd" blooms way before any of them.
And, thanks for the compliments!

Thanks! I love Phlox, and a early one like that would be so awesome. You just reminded me I had P.maculata 'Natasha', but must have lost it in the drought a couple of years ago- geez, I'd forgotten all about it!
Beaturiful pics, as usual, pgt!
Your hardy geraniums are in such good shape! Mine are all leggy~~you must have the perfect spot for them. (Are they Rosanne?)
And I'm going to get some of that phlox, too! Didn't notice it until you pointed it out, gem, but it will be a nice addition here to break up all the mauve and purple a bit.
tabasco, the peach leaved bellflowers you gave me a couple of years ago are doing beautifully now. Such charming blooms!
I gave you bellflowers, gem?? I may have to get them back! I have just 3 blooming and they aren't so sturdy looking! )-:
