I might have to steal that. :) Unfortunately I've not had success wintering 'Limerock Ruby' in my Zone 8 garden!! I agree that H. 'Amethyst Mist' is better than 'Purple Palace' or 'Palace Purple' depending on the label. 'AM' just shines! May 2011 bring you many more garden successes.

I...Hello Lona, thanks for stopping by my blog :-) <br /><br />I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your recap of favs and great photos of them. I’ve had Apricot delight but it isn’t happy in my Scottish garden. I also bought the climbing rose Iceberg… but it turned out to be apricot in colour! <br /><br />I love your caryopteris, I had a golden leafed one and like you really enjoyed its blue flowers. I lost it to a cold winter a few years ago and never replaced it. <br /><br />Wishing you all the best for 2011. BTW I’ve made a note of Diana Clare… I like these leaves a lot. The blue flowers are bonus :-D<br /><br />Sorry, I forgot… my fav perennial? Hands down… the perennial wallflower Erysimum 'Bowles' Mauve'. It has the longest flowering period in my garden and the bees and butterflies love it too :-DShirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-82337189057750613182011-01-01T10:29:21.345-05:002011-01-01T10:29:21.345-05:00Wow Lona, what a list!

I loved the new coreopsis "Limerick Ruby". Like you, though, I am not sure if I'll see it again next spring. For the color it added and how sturdy it was all summer, I will probably add it again even if it will be considered an annual in my garden. I didn't need to deadhead it at all...as it was continuously in bloom. I hope your Christmas was wonderful and here's wishing you a very Happy and Health New Year!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-13994639471920307502011-01-01T08:44:39.704-05:002011-01-01T08:44:39.704-05:00Thanks Lona for this great list.
