| I have some burgundy fountain grass that I planted last year and I am looking forward to planting some lovely russian sage near it. I also am looking for some dark (chocolate or black/ purple ) holly hocks, Some coneflowers....I really love green envy but since they are still a new introduction I'll have to find a place that just needs a few, blue emerald phlox, I'm thinking about some blue scaboisa near my lavender mums and hot pink creeping phlox under my wisteria tree in my front yard. I'm trying to decide on another clematis to plant with the multi blue on my mailbox and what to under plant it with....eventually I want to plant up that whole strip between the side walk and the street in front of the house. I'm looking for a purple or green smoke bush, and looking for a good place to plant a contorted filbert. I'm hoping my rose arbors cast enough shade to place my hydrangeas in an area I have chosen and get some hellebore, flamingo plants, azaleas, bleeding heart, Lilly of the valley, Canterbury bells, amybe some widows tears and defiantly several colors of huchera ....what about you? Anyone know of a good source of cheap dwarf boxwood....I'm also working on a formal rose garden and need a ton of boxwood |

Hey casey-Lynn, How are you! I am planning on some water lotuses, some newer water lilies, some irises that are 2 colored, some candy striped phlox (pink and purple and also hard to find but I got some!) some big pips of lily of the valley (pink and white that will hopefully bloom this year) Some water lettuce, some more horsetail rush, more Hyacinths (you can NEVER have to may of these!) I ordered some tomato seeds (German pinks) some more calla lilies (Cathy's favorites) Also looking into some purple sage, some carnations and maybe if I am a good boy, 2 of those 50 gallon potted crape myrtles we saw at Lowes last year! Hope your garden turns out well and share some photos with us if ya can. Hope Stewert and Vinnie are doing well. Try not to work them to hard this Spring,
