I love that deep pink one the best, but am liking all of them these days. I noticed a neighbor has hers tied up so it doesn't flop. I may try that on mine. This was their second year, so maybe they will be fuller next year. I think I'll cut them back at some point so they'll be bushier.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-67956213782241457792010-09-21T08:10:04.386-05:002010-09-21T08:10:04.386-05:00RBell, Thanks for visiting.

I hope these buzzers survived the recent depopulation. <br /><br />Your sunny corner bed look bright and cheery. My Russian sage is never very happy in a part shade location, but I've had it for a while, and don't really have a sunny place for it right now.Northern Shadehttp://northernshade.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-53948453258259227372010-09-17T19:26:33.732-05:002010-09-17T19:26:33.732-05:00Pretty blooms on the stonecrops - nice variety.

It does have a nice scent, though.<br /><br />Hi Rosemary, Your seeds will be mailed today! :-) Thanks for your sweet comments.<br /><br />Dave! Believe it or not, I have "regular" Joe Pye Weed growing in a very shady spot in the raised beds. It really doesn't like it there, but it bloomed for the first time last year (and again this year), after having been in its location for 4 years prior! ;-)<br /><br />It's very tall, as you well know, but even 'Little Joe' gets taller than me!<br /><br />Meredehuit, Thank you for your kind comments and visit. You're welcome to return! :-)Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-10542558412957449972010-09-16T09:53:00.791-05:002010-09-16T09:53:00.791-05:00Your sedum is beautiful and I enjoyed your poem.

I'm a big fan of the Russian sage but need to get some Joe Pye weed for the butterflies.<br /><br />Joco - I've seen varying opinions on Russian sage but I think most people say not to eat it.
