Kathleen Gilbert What?! Where can I get the seeds?

Houston Foodlovers I love these, but they don't grow purple like this - ours are bright green with yellow stars.

Cristina Spindler Landreth seeds or Hudson Valley Seed Library is where we get them but readily available

For 2012 i'm really excited to offer the new (really an old) Global Warming series of late blooming old fashioned fall garden mums (seen above) with a more graceful garden habit and longer stems for cutting.

Blue Paridise one of the best mildew resistant phlox (plant in a dry sunny spot away from irrigation)and just look at that color! Butterfly magnet and easy long lived perennial. An heirloom pass along plant but one that your friends and neighbors will actually want.

OK this one'll cost you $95 but hey, not bad for a work of art that's been years in the making! ITOH peony Copper Kettle is a cross between a tree and regular peony-an investment plant that literally keeps getting better and better with age.

Helianthus Flora Pleno Perennial sunflower but with a more restrained size and the best sturdy stiff double blooms that just keep coming all summer. I love the unopened and unfurling buds almost more than the flowers!Very chic in mixed midsummer bouquets, super long vase life

We were surprised and delighted when this lesser known perennial ornamental grass,Muhlinbergia Pink Champagne, bloomed last fall with the most dainty ethereal sparkling pink seedheads- Fabulous!

Yes,Delphinium are short lived perennials that really want to be in England but, with irrigation, they'll probably be OK. What makes them irresistible tho is their long bloom time and classic statuesque spires of heavenly blue. Try them in large pots too!

Used extensively in UK gardens, Astrantia or Masterwort deserves more recognition here.In the garden Astrantias adds a chic flowery meadow effect while its sturdy, flower texture lends longevity to the both bloom season and cut shelf life.

Boxwood, boxwood and more boxwood! Whats not to love its deer proof drought and shade tolerant and actually fun to prune in a zen mindful sorta way. If you don't like to prune just plant dwarf varieties. I love it so much I'm actually thinking of joining the Boxwood Society! Become a fan of boxwood....
