Can't wait to see them Holly.

A couple pics of Purple Emperor. It is a bit crowded in there, next year I will give it more room and not plant those big marigolds so close. I love how it looks growing next to the Nora Leigh Variegated Garden Phlox. I should have some nice blooms soon.

Holly I am now so excited about my tiny baby plants of Purple Emperor after seeing your above photos. They are wonderful.
Your photos also give me an idea of how to place mine for the most wow factor. Love what you did.

Thanks so much. I just love the Purple Emperor.

Here is a pic of my Autumn Joy. There are two different sedums here but they are very close in looks, not really sure what they are. I like the Echies growing with them and the dark reddish leafs of the Crepe Myrtle.

Wow, I love the Crepe Myrtle with the sedum. It's beautiful. It will still be a lovely site when the sedum blooms color up. What color are the Crepe Myrtle blooms.

I have three of them, that one is Royal Burgundy. Here is a pic from last year. It hasn't bloomed yet this year.



Here is an old pic of that bed from a few years ago. The two sedums are blooming with the CM. There isn't much there yet, note the MG trellis off to the side.


Here is a pic from earlier this summer on the same bed. Just extended a bit. It has turned into a nice planting.

I put another upright sedum in that bed, too. You can just barely see it in the last picture, between / behind the two blue Veronica Royal Candles.
The new sedum is Autumn Delight. It has gotten a bit buried behind some very large marigolds. Actually almost everything in that bed is buried behind those big marigolds. I will know better next year. Here is a current pic of that same bed. All those pretty colorful zinnias are behind the marigolds. I knew the marigolds got big but I thought the zinnias would get taller. The zinnias do look nice with the tall sedums.

Holly that bed is maturing beautifully. I love the Dusty Miller in with them. I also love zinnias. To me they are such a cheerful flower. What color is your Morning Glory.
Arlan sent me some seed which I started. The germinated very quickly but are just sitting there about 3" tall. I think our nights and day time temps are just to cool this year for them. : (

Lavender. I didn't bother to plant any this year just let the self seeded MG come up. Ric ordered me some really nice MG seeds but I have misplaced them somewhere. Well maybe I will find them for next year.

Here's a picture of sedum Red Cauli taken yesterday. It has a distictive habit compared to my other upright sedums in that its canes arch out.

I love the dark colored stems Tabby. The flower heads are very distinctive in color pattern. Would love to see a close up.

There's a closeup of the bloom from last year in the database:

I should probably add this new picture to the database as well.

Oh my goodness, that is gorgeous Tabby. By all means add the above photo.

Here's a picture of Maestro taken yesterday. It recovered pretty well from the hail earlier this year, but definitely looks different than it did last year:

The flower heads are smaller since they are from side shoots, the hail having broken all the tips off. This is a tall sedum.

Those are really pretty Tabby.
I think this is Autumn Delight, but I can't be sure.

I have no idea what Autumn Delight looks like, unfortunately.

Here's Autum Fire just starting to get color:

Tabby your Red Cauli and Maestro are gorgeous. Really like the color combo. I've seen that bloom somewhere around here Holly. Is it really that robin's egg blue? Super!

Greenish Blue, should have pink blooms. This is my first year for it.
Purple Emperor

Maybe it's the soil, Holly....

I don't think so I expect when the buds open they will have a pinkish color. We will see.
