I like your container plantings, alot! You and your daughter make nice choices of plants and colors. The watercolours you were going to finish is off to a great start. Very nice how you lay your backgrounds in! Many blessings to you and your family for peace, joy, and happiness!

The zinnias, crocosmia and Japanese maple are beautiful together. Is that Golden Jubilee in the last two?

Yes It is the only Jubilee that came back this spring,the other two were no shows.
I have mixed luck with agastaches. I found a survivor seedling of Apricot Sprite which is the one that has lasted more than three years.

Golden Jubilee really shouldn't grow here but it does and it self seeds itself everywhere. I don't mind because it is so pretty...I just always have some to share. I love the combination of chartreuse foliage and periwinkle flowers.
Have you tried Blue Fortune or Black Adder? They grow like weeds here. I can't grow any of the varieties that are not "blue" except as annuals.

Nope. Blue Fortune is the one I am familier with, lasted two years.I just loved it .It is steril so no self sowing.

So pretty...and low maintenance, and deer and rabbits generally don't eat it.
It's torture when those kinds of plants refuse to work.
