The blue ones that bloom in spring are the ones I have. I remember planting at least 10 and got 3 up. Then the next year 2, the next 1. So I think they aren't the easiest! I have well drained sandy soil so not sure what the problem is.

I've never had good luck with them either.

I got my Winterberry Order yesterday, late in the day. There were 2 bonuses, Coral Chimes (an IB) and Morgan (an SDB). I don't like the colors of Morgan personally but it said it is fragrant so I planted it anyways. Coral Chimes on the other hand is right up my alley! lol I managed to get them planted with the mosquitoes buzzing around biting. I am heading to the beach for a few days so I had to get it done. Hopefully my other orders don't come until next week. My husband will be home so He can take them in but that;s about it. Plus I usually try not to let him see all the stuff I order! lol

Just checked and I have an email that my Mid American order shipped yesterday! Looks like hubbie will be getting that one! Maybe I can tell him to open the box up and leave it in the garage.

Have a great time at the beach! Post a photo for those of us living vicariously...

My blue anenomes are doing fine.....eastern location, protected by rhodos and brick walkway....My agapanthus is opening for the 7th? 8th? year......clump getting larger each year.....supposed to be zone 6, but it's against the garage......

very pretty

Beautiful! Strictly zone 6? It's pretty warm by my ramp...

I think I dug up most of my anemones, without noticing. The corms are so small! My shed garden just never is the way I want it, let's say a work in progress.

love the blue!!!... my anemones are getting chewed up this year.. all holey

My dahlias also are getting chewed! Jan, the agapanthus will do well in a protected spot.....loves the south sun.....

I made you all a sand castle!

Great. I hope that it doesn't get washed away.
Our garden had a subtraction. One trunk of a double trunked pine tree had come down this winter & tree firm was here to rescue it from leaning on another tree & so cause problems. We also had them take a branch off a beech tree with was causing 'low' shade. Now sun can get in that part of a bed.

It collapsed from the waves right after those pictures!

.I can smell the sea air! Love the sand castle, I was beautiful!

does give you that aaahhhh feeling just looking at the waves

Love the ocean....will try to get to Hammonassett in Sept. I had a large branch come down from the apple tree....too many apples this year!

Too some shots of the beach for you yesterday!

Today's our last day here, I will be going home to my Mid-American order and my Iris Sisters order. Soon I can get those rhizomes planted!

How peaceful! Where are the crowds? It looks like your own private beach!

Sneaky photography! lol If you wait until late in the afternoon you can find spots where there's no people. However my Aunt lives there and there is no public parking nearby her house. So it is residents and renters. If you look at the left of the first pic there is a bunch of people. That is near the public parking access.
