Plant Delights is wonderful.. Lucky you, being so close!

You might also consider if you prefer some of the older histories.. Many have been around for so long because they've been so tough. Crimson King and Indian Chief were on my property when I moved here, and have rewarded me with years of pleasure. I've since added many that are equally vigorous and lovely... And many that have been wimpy in my garden, but do well for folks in other parts of the country.
I arrange beds by bloom time, height, and color combinations I find pleasing. I make sure to add solid colors (selfs) so that everything doesn't get too busy. I also try to add a touch of yellow here and there to keep things lively... And also black for drama. (Drama is the garden is good... In your life... Not so much Whistling )
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
