I have lots of plants that need planting, too. I am not very good with plants not in the ground, so I'm hoping the cold nights are over, and I can get them planted.

We're supposed to have a week of wonderful weather & the days are long enough now that I can actually get something done outside after work! In addition, I'm skipping a plant sale on Saturday (like I need another plant) so that I can have my first full day to work outside this month.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-5143808157204222922013-04-22T10:32:36.751-07:002013-04-22T10:32:36.751-07:00They are lovely!

The blue Gentians are so rich, I love them. I have two that have come back well this year, but aren't flowering yet. Also I have a couple of those Thalictrum, which have also come back well. I planted a Viola with heart in the name a couple of years ago, and it immediately disappeared. I'm pretty sure there was no sign of it last year, but now I see leaves that look like it coming up. Maybe it just needed a really long sleep.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-50604742922755376852013-04-22T08:32:23.832-07:002013-04-22T08:32:23.832-07:00Re: your Bear Grass vs. ours...it gets really conf...Re: your Bear Grass vs. ours...it gets really confusing when yours (Nolina nelsonii right?) is sold here with the common name.
