Great!! I love the Veronica, I just got one called 'First Love' or something. Are you getting the Veronica 'Blue Carpet' or the Sedum?
I will be watching for the May sale, I think I get their newsletters if they have one.

Virginiarose - I started an asclepias tuberosa from seed in 2004 and it did real well. Well enough that I saved seed and started some more. I still have seeds and I'd be happy to send you some. Or you could wait until fall for fresh.... But I do have 2011 seeds.

But it was the caryopteris you had trouble with, wasn't it.

Hummmm, such a nice box. Shrug!


crittergarden , I think the butterfly weed just went into shock or something, it was in low forties when it arrived. I brought the baby caryopteris inside for a week and that one is doing great. The other plant just keep getting sicker and sicker till it died. Grumbling
Thanks for the offer on the seed, but I might already have some. Let me go through my seeds and I will let you know later. Green Grin!

That giant box is perfect for blocking weeds... use it in a lasagna compost bed.

OK.
It's a prolific seeder and I have given plants to neighbors as well (Monarch host plant), so I'll allways have some seeds.

Thanks crittergarden, It dosn't look like I have any and if I did they would probably be old. I will tree-mail my address and you can send some whenever you get a chance. Thank you very much. Green Grin!
