what happened to the rest of my message??? WTH!! I had a long list of plants that have done well & others that are kinda so-so...!!!
:( :(
I listed as my champions of crappy gardening with horrible weather/soil: agastache, butterfly bushes (only small plants, don't try a big one as it'll croak), daylillies, irises, campanula, bluebeards, Russian sage, vinca, creeping phlox, mums, lilacs, columbines, plumbago, & honeysuckle
My so-so's are blanket flower (maybe), penstemon, tulips, daffodils, snow-in-summer, delphiniums, bachelor's buttons. I'm guessing 100% that this is all due to negligence and not the plants. :)
Plants that are DOA w/me: coral bells, hostas (wth! full shade?), liatris, Joe Pye weed, bee balm, lupine... I'm sure that there's others that I've tried multiple times to no avail.
