But hardly ever because most years it self seeds. Anyway that combo will look amazing in your garden - I look forward to seeing it. I would love to spend a night in an igloo!

I love your selections, very, very pretty! I'm not adventuring too much this year beyond some bizarre nasturtiums and a marigold I've never seen before, oh, and Orange petunias?

I was and am delighted...and hope that they will volunteer again. They are the most stunning flowers swaying in the heat.

I am hoping your weather improves big time soon. I have a sister in Ottawa she's not too happy! I really need to start using seeds. I have been out in my garden and I decided some things just gotta go! Time for a rethink. The problem here is heat and more heat and dry conditions but I still love the look of a full lush garden- like yours!!

However Verbena bonariensis does self seed a lot and there are even a few that make it over the winter (because of our very reliable snow cover ???). I tried the double cosmos last summer and they were quite successful. I was afraid they might be too top heavy but they were not. <br />I never have much luck with annual digitalis. The perennial ones grow fine but the purpureas do not seem to like the garden which is probably too alkaline for their taste. I still seed them regularly but with poor results. Good luck with all these.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-78660843866436596142015-03-27T12:18:38.182-07:002015-03-27T12:18:38.182-07:00Your photos are lovely Jennifer and all the purple...Your photos are lovely Jennifer and all the purples and pinks will really look nice in the garden. I hope your weather warms soon. We are about three weeks behind schedule here as well, so I am hoping that the summer will extend longer into October like it did last year.

My local nursery usually has one year plants so I hope to get a few. I agree with you on double and very full flowers.

You are growing 2 interesting varieties of Cosmos, I will be interested to know how they they perform for you. I love cosmos and grow them every year, this year I am growing a dwarf form as well as the taller ones, but both are singles. I am growing 'Tithonia' for the first time so I am interested to see how they turn out. Growing seeds is such a satisfying part of gardening. Good luck with them all!Hoehoegrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745640711509233722noreply@blogger.com
