Lynn,

Swallowtail Seeds has these in bulk seeds (for a very reasonable price, it seems to me):

spurium voodoo
silverfrost
selaskianum spirit fastrax
rubens lizard
forsterianum oracle


From that list, which would you recommend for:

zone 7b (just north of ATL)
red GA clay,
southwestern exposure,
minimal shade now (but my 5' tall trees will eventually be shade trees when they grow up)

Some would be near driveway, some near house, some near street...scattered in areas that is at best patchy grass right now.

Might also put some in the back yard -- would love to find something to crowd out the vinca the original owners planted. That would be mostly shade, some mid-day sun, but I've never tracked to see if we get 6 hours back there cause the back yard belongs to the dogs. But some parts of it are fenced off from the dogs - those spots are mostly shade, I think.

I'm a very lazy gardener -- go outside when it's raining and scatter seed, trusting the rain to soak them into the ground enough to grow (hey, it worked with my wildflower garden and my clover Hilarious! )

I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do that second week.
