A local garden I saw last summer had beautiful stands of it, and the gardener said the area had originally been all gravel, so it wasn't the best soil. Perhaps I've been babying it too much after all. Love that Fleeceflower--I remember seeing it in a catalog and considered buying one for my own garden, but I didn't know much about it. Seeing it here makes me think I should consider it again.<br /><br />It's been a crazy busy week here with another one to come, but I am going to go back and look at the previous posts when I find a few minutes. This garden looks so inspiring, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they used conifers.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-69629468145294887272014-03-22T21:42:10.258-07:002014-03-22T21:42:10.258-07:00What a great combinations Jennifer.

My attempt to take cuttings has not been very successful, even though it is said to be easy….HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-39870821196744400372014-03-22T13:09:05.647-07:002014-03-22T13:09:05.647-07:00Wow, these posts are such a treat.

There are a few plants here that I would love to be 'weedy' in my garden. And I love lavender. It loves dry soil so it is quite the perfect drought tolerant plant.
