9. Dianthus armurensis Siberian Blues - Compact, bushy mounds of bluish evergreen foliage erupt into a sea of mauve-blue flowers in late spring and are the closest yet to a true blue Dianthus. Ideal planted in borders, rockeries and containers, flowering over a long period each summer for many, many years. [Zone: 3 - 8]
A BLUE Dianthus armurensis Siberian Blues Really ??? Whom ever have any I would love to try a few .
thankyou ladies, hope I get more responses yet... Many I am pleasantly suprised at their heights....yeah!!!! You all know I LOVE that tall stuff...
Pam I did sow those Datura at the beginning of March, should be perfect.. /and thanks for the info on the others....sometimes I get lost in all that I doing.. you know that forest in the back bedroom..... LOL.
Evelyn...you know one of these days I may just have to order a few plants of the light yellow, (they are gorgeous, a buttercream color), I believe....gosh trying to remember the name of the nursery...oh my. I know people have talked about it. It's located in Nebraska. They sell smaller plant in 3 packs..... Crud....it will come to me.. I have their catalog at home..
Susie..I'm excited about the Virginia Bunch flower...now tell me it smells good and I will absolutly be thrilled.

Kathy, would that be Bluestone Perennials? Oh, no! I just looked...they no longer sell in 3's, which they did formerly, and they have A. 'E.C.Buxton', which they describe as having white flowers, and A. 'Kelwayi' with golden yellow daisies. Yes, and they are not located in Nebraska, but Madison, Ohio! Oh well! Maybe you will remember....LMK, OK?? ^_^
evelyn...yup was sitting outside and it came to me..lol. Bluestone Perenials, forgot they were in Ohio tho. They used to sell 3 colors, the white, light yellow and the gold which is yes kelwayii. I've had it for more than 15 years and origonally gotten from them...Sucks, they don't sell the light yellow anymore...guess I'll have to locate another source, phooey.. I decided this winter to re-add the gold back into the garden and have a bunch of new babies, (they also reseed too). I like that they are in bloom most alllll season, spring to frost. Not sure if I have their new catalog, no more in 3's huh.. gosh it was such great pricing.
czimmerman...wow that Solidago gets that tall or is it a typo? lol, just wondering. And are the flowers a candleabra type (reyed) or single stem with clusters?
Sure Kathy - I had some, not sure what variety - prolly just S. canadensis, but they were 10'-12' at the very least. Crazy. In fact, my Agastache grow that tall too. Must be something in the water.
A.
Kathy you want to be carefull with the Goldenrod In our area it gets out of hand & can over take the other lower plants & Hard to kill off . so put it way out in your back 40 If you want a fence to keep out the deer or elk :) I finely got rid of it I Hope anyway :)

Hello everyone, just checking in and have a question ??? How do you get rid of wild morning glories ???? Got some "free" compost from the city last year to fill in spots and boy am I paying for it !! Wild morning glories grew in it last year and was choking out everything in it's path !! Need ideas on how to get ahold of it and stay ahead of it before it starts this year !! HELP !!!! LOTS of different types of flowers growing in this bed so not really an option for weed killer .
depending on the type of MGI think the most important thing is to not let them go to seed, however there are one or two that spread by runners, i think. then just pull them up everywhere you see them. just how I have heard they are dealt with.
An old pro gardener I once knew called it bindweed, impossible to get rid of completely, she said. Just never walk by even one leaf without pulling it, that's what she said was the best way to deal with it.
BINDWEED would be the correct thing to call it !!!! It wraps around anything and everything until whatever it is climbing on totally disappears !! It grew so fast last year that it was virtually impossible to keep up with . It is a large flower bed and by the time I would get done weeding the whole thing (usually takes a couple of days) it would already be "creeping" in on the end I started at !!! Someone said -- pulling it out only makes it grow faster because it is a "trailing" root system and each time you break it , new ones start at the break !!! SO FRUSTRATING !!!
Try weed killer as soon as it starts up Just don't plant in the area for a couple week or so after you spray it on or till up the spot & use the spray or PREEM then lay Newspaper down then mulch to kill it out .
That's why morning glories have been illegal in AZ forever (they still sell seeds tho'and lots of people grow them in yards ) ..... a long time ago they would invade the cotton fields and muck up the cotton equipment. I think it's the wild ones that are the problem.

I wonder what's happening here... Is the robin in flight, or still in NH? Should I be expecting it any day, or not yet?
1" of "snice" last night...first ice, then snow. another 6-12" forecasted. Im going to end up building a raised bed in my basement if spring doesnt get here soon! I have toms and peppers that are now 6" tall!
Gee i Posted this morning earlier to say I Still do not have a conf # from Susan so i don't know if its in the mail or not SUSAN if you see this can you let us know Please .
Ha ha - Steph we went up over 80 yesterday and the a/c came on! Surprise surprise. I guess we'll jump straight into summer here. they called our spring "Marchuary" on the weather channel.
A.
Sorry Susie, I posted on the wrong thread, then found the other one and asked again. I hope she's OK!
80 degrees here in the city yesterday and today too, after a chilly, chilly March. Weird! It's supposed to get cooler again though... Good, I'm not ready. We still had snow on the ground in CT this weekend. Winter-to-summer in one week isn't fair! I need it to thaw, so I can get going on all the prep for all the planting I have to do. Yikes!!!
that ok Pam & I Really do not know why we've not heard from susan yet except that just maybe she lost Internet I thought i put my Phone # in the robin so anyone could contact me if that happens but in the rush to get it back out maybe i forgot to so sorry .
Patti wanted to let you know i got all of the squash & Pumpkin seeds planted & Zoey helpped me she came in today & Said aunt susie Look they are growing she is so excited . thank you for sharing with us

In Forest Farm, they have what appears to be 2 light yellows...they describe Anthemis E.C. Buxton as a lemon yellow, and A. tinctoria 'Moonlight' as pale yellow.

These days we are lucky to get anything at "great prices", huh?
Forestfarm has great shipping, but their shipping prices are high. It is nice though if you can get what you want and then not have to worry if they will survive. I think that everything from them has lived well...
