Euphorbias aren't invasive here in CT - I wish - and polychroma is just a fabulous plant.

I'm glad you're happy with their performance. It's always good to read a review from another gardener.<br />I have tried pasque flowers but must not have located them correctly as they've failed to thrive. <br />btw, after your last post I went out and found a double pink flowering almond. I hope it blooms as beautifully as yours next spring. Thank you for the inspiration.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-78415401635189441522011-05-29T13:42:37.848-07:002011-05-29T13:42:37.848-07:00I really like the 'Bonfire' and 'Ascot...I really like the 'Bonfire' and 'Ascot Rainbow'.
