As for your question on baptisia...EVERY garden should have at least one ...absolutely. Thank you for yours to me. xo This was a good year for them I must say.

There are lulls during the growing season that need to be filled. I planted alliums after our Fling in Toronto but they didn't do well. I need to try again because I adore them!Karin / Southern Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514989784715204223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-39083693239933103682016-07-08T05:46:31.706-07:002016-07-08T05:46:31.706-07:00So many great ideas here, Jennifer!

I agree on the nepeta and salvia--great accents with a long-blooming time, if only I can remember to cut them back. The Phlomis is new to me, though; hope this is more available next year.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-18609424701849158232016-07-07T21:40:36.542-07:002016-07-07T21:40:36.542-07:00Jennifer, so many great ideas to fill in the gaps....Jennifer, so many great ideas to fill in the gaps. I love alliums, I just don't have much luck with them returning every year. The bulbs are expensive, but I may try again.

I too am a fan of catmint .. especially Walker Junior .. I have a few of them and they are stellar performers with bees loving them up completely!<br />Blue Cloud is a wee bit too floppy where I have them so I have to rethink those spots.<br />Alliums are also a favourite of mine .. Schubertii was just cut back at the end of June but wow .. totally show stopper in my mind. I too am going to group more together as well, I just ordered a new one to me called Miami .. looks like another wow type as well. I also love my pink Bowman's Root .. so much I have two now.<br />I just can't stop collecting ... this heat and drought is beginning to get on my nerves though ... can't wait for a break in it eh ? July's garden is going to be a little bedraggled from it all.CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-25577268491677793952016-07-06T16:47:38.354-07:002016-07-06T16:47:38.354-07:00Lovely to see all the flowering shrubs, if I ever ...Lovely to see all the flowering shrubs, if I ever get to Toronto the Botanical gardens are a ''must see''. I would love to be able to grow peonies next to our salvias, but here in Canberra (Australia) I think they are difficult to grow.Gerrie Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842933917017795753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-85025205565652484252016-07-06T11:58:44.092-07:002016-07-06T11:58:44.092-07:00June is a very in between month for my garden stil...June is a very in between month for my garden still. <br />We've got lots of spring color from the previous owners. And I've added some mid to late summer blooming plants and shrubs (it's also when the veggie garden is the most interesting). We have lots of colorful fall foliage in our many trees. We even have some winter interest in our coral bark Japanese maple and a couple red osier dogwoods. <br />But June...? A few lavender and a couple asters are about it. And some day lillies in the later half. <br />I'm intrigued by a couple of your mentions above... the penstemon, salvia and baptisia... and I'm always looking for natives like the gallenia.Kathleen C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09985361663328017340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-62956861856620825942016-07-06T11:29:09.922-07:002016-07-06T11:29:09.922-07:00Alliums grouped together - what a great idea!
