Orders 2026
What to get next year and for where:
More plumbagos
they are doing well in the dining room window garden, need to fill empty spots
 |
| ✓ 6 small pots at Bluestone Perennials |
Salvia arizonica 'Deep Blue'
tuck a mass of several in the Dining Room Window garden - they grow in shade
(maybe add one in the potting bench curve in the empty spot where the gaura is now?)
 |
| ✓ 4 small pots at HCG |
✓ Radio Red salvias ✓ got four at Newman's, fall 2025 ✓ ✓
I like them better than the Hot Lips ones I have
 |
| ✓ ✓ |
Another Lacey Blue dwarf Russian sage for the circle garden
the upright spikes and color would look great tucked in with other plants
 |
| ✓ 1 small pot at HCG |
God help me, another try at Ceanothus ameicanus
because I liked it so much and it is supposedly adaptable to dry lean soil here.
One to go by the garage stoop and one to grow in a pot.

And . . . added a Rocky Mountain penstemon to my High Country Gardens order -- to go where?
Put it along the strip where the juniper was, planted among the verbascum and Black Adder agastache? (spring flowering before the agastache.) Easy to grow, long lived.
