Here are my first efforts -
Lewisia (Lewisia cotyledon 'Rainbow') - purchased transplant - planted out 10/13 in a raised bed of horse manure with a dusting of clay and peat.
Looks pretty good to me so far.
Another that asks for sharp drainage - Hardy Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus 'King of the Blacks'), (started from seed in spring of 2012 and left to sit in its starter pot through that first winter and most of the following year).
This one was left in its starter pot and needed more root room quickly, and since I was short on time right then I merely set that pot in another that was handy. The roots are growing through the drainage holes into the bottom pot and the entire plant looks very happy.
We're experiencing a lot of rain right now and today I noticed that there was standing water in the lower section; that's why it's now tipped on its side.
