Thank you Lynn and Christine. Summer is so short I want at least 4 months of pretty. I try to do everything I can to have immediate gratification.
My EE are slower this year than prior years. Usually when I keep them almost alive all winter they are as tall as the cannas by now. I like the pots to look good by the first week of June To accomplish that I use a lot of houseplants thrown in and keep the tropicals almost alive all winter and this year I have add more perrenials that start early.
