OH, don't remember. At least 6 years. But The Blanch Sandman one has been cut back many times in the fall. The other I just let grow however it wants to.

Pink Lemonade looks like a great honeysuckle too. The moss rose should do really well there. Mine usually reseed, but it was such a late spring, I haven't seen any yet.

I plant these portulacas each spring. But now I am seeing lots and lots of baby portulaca seedlings comming up. First time for me for them to reseed.

I should probably try some of those, Rita. Just never got around to it except had some one year in a container.

Siberians are really pretty in the garden. For some reason they don't look as nice in pictures as they do in person, at least not in my pictures.

I don't think I can grow them, here. Too dry. So I will keep drooling over your photographs. Big Grin

CARDINAL CANDY looks like a nice verburnam. Does your yellow columbine reseed with the long tails or does it revert to another form?
