Dianne - that's exactly how I felt. Someone sent me some supposedly lower BB's but they hit the gutter by the following year and we had them cut down and sent to the landfill. I find many salvias grow to be the height I wished for with the BB's and none of the endless pruning to keep them looking good. I do love them as a substitute.
I have been told not to plant the anemone but tried three, two died. If it wasn't raining now I'd go out to check for possible seedlings.
Susan - I'm not a grass lover - too much cutting back in fall anyhow without adding more to the list. I do have Hakonechloa and dividing it is hard work and the plant grows exceptionally fast. It's beautiful but any future divisions will have to go in pots. Every job gets more difficult as we all age.
