jersey - I have to agree with continually throwing money away. I suppose I could make the effort to give them extra, extra water but I know myself and that wouldn't happen on a continual basis. As for substitutes - I like some of the silvery Pulmonaria varieties. I've had some of them for years in my garden. Only exception I've run across is 'Mrs. Moon' - the only one I've ever lost. I've heard from a few others that it has "issues" with midwest gardens.
