I did get a Wiegela today called 'Sonic Bloom Pink.' I really like these because they bloom repeatedly all summer. I've been watching one at the nursery, and it had blooms every single time I visited. Tomorrow a Rose bush is going to "Rose Bush Heaven" and a Wiegela is being planted! I also got a Buddleia called 'Miss Ruby.' I have been watching that one for a long time, and I like the way the plant isn't all spindly and scraggly like most other Buddleia I've seen.
I'll keep my eyes open for some of these suggested plants too. I have grown a Gardenia called 'August Beauty' before that really was amazing. It usually lasts at least a few years here. Nothing smells as good as them! I must say my 'Stained Glass' Hosta comes close though! I just wish Gardenia were hardier. There are some that claim to be very hardy compared to others, but my test plant didn't last but one season. You really have to locate them perfectly to have any luck with them. They smell so good though. I may just save a spot for one and buy a new one every year. They remind me of my Grandmother because she loved them so much.
