MrsBinWY's Plant List

A note from MrsBinWY
Please note, unless otherwise stated, all seeds are open-pollinated in our yard. I include cultivar names or "descendants of xxx" to provide additional insight about the parent plants. Plants grown from these seeds may not come true, and it may no longer be entirely correct to refer to them by the cultivar name.

From LCMG Plant Sale (Gulley), planted 5-2-2016 August 15, 2021: Seeds sown (I've tried germinating these seeds before with so luck.

3 plants from Catherine W. (but I overwatered 1 and lost it before getting it planted out) - on 7-24-2021, planted 1 with Asphodeline taurica in front and 1 with Penstemon palmeri in front.
