I haven't bought anything for awhile either. I like to window shop but a lot of their stuff seems difficult or very region specific. I can't remember what I ordered in the past but I know one thing was my Geum triflorum and it's doing beautifully. I noticed they introduced Smilax herbacea new this year but sold out. I finally managed to collect seed for that this fall and am attempting to winter sow it. I have one in my yard but it's a little boy vine so no berries.

Gil, were they your Geum triflorum seeds in the Box? I snaffled them - they look like an interesting plant. :)

Oh yeah they were Marcia. Being a native plant they should wintersow fine, but according to my records I started them indoors with warmth and humidity. It's a good plant, the blooms and seedheads are both pretty and the plant is tidy with nice leaves.

Northspruce, I usually stick to the seeds that say easy to germinate and are suitable for my zone. I like to try different perennials just for fun. I also have geum triflorem from Garden's North and I really like it. When I had my mini plant sale the geum created a lot of interest because it was blooming right near where I set up.
A couple years ago I started a bunch of saxifrage and had them blooming all over the yard last year.
This spring I'll be anxious to see if the mukedenia survived.
I haven't ordered anything this year, yet anyway.

I guess I should have started this thread before I put in my order cause now I want geum triflorem. LOL, oh well, I'll start a wish list for next year.

I'll send you some seeds, I'll have to collect them this summer though.

THey've already been winter-sown - i did a batch a couple of weeks ago. This year i only have 10 containers so far, and i probably won't have any more until i spring sow the annuals.

Did anyone see their new Gentiana algida? Want! Need!

Thanks Gil, that's nice of you. If my sweet little well behaved Dianthus comes true, I'l send you some seeds in return.

That Gentian is very nice, are you going to try it?

I must have ordered the last packet of that dark pink martagon lily seed because now it says sold out. Wow, now I feel pressure to make sure I get them to germinate, lol.

I "may" have "accidentally" bought some seeds today, yes it seems I did. I bought that Gentian, looks nice... also a new Frittilaria (camschatcensis), Penstemon nitidus, Primula bulleyana, Alchemilla mollis (I know nothing special there, I just always meant to get some), Aruncus dioicus (I've tried to grow it before, didn't sprout) and Trollius chinensis (same, tried it before).

Which Dianthus did you get Pudge?

I just remembered I also have two GN mixes of coral bells that are very nice and have done well.

The dianthus is from my own harvested seed - I just need to see that it comes true to the parent which stays dwarf, neat and tidy and doesn't grow into a 4'x4' mat. The most well behaved dianthus I have ever met.

Aah. You just made me think of something. When I moved I harvested Dianthus 'Arctic Fire' seeds, not knowing if they would come true. They did, the flowers were perfect, but the plants were sort of rampant. 4' mat is an apt description. I actually had to rip it all out because it got involved with some Creeping Charlie. I thought it just really liked me, but now I wonder if it was because I saved seeds?

My Arctic Fire goes nuts like that too, and a lot of it is from clumps i dug up and replanted. So did 'Alba', but i think i might have finally gotten rid of that!

I think that the one I have is a Dianthus subacaulis, just so unlike any others I've grown. I'm guessing, since the original seed came in a mix.

Another plant I started from Gardens North seed a few years ago is a beautiful little campanula, just smothered in blooms in early summer and not at all invasive.

No, Dianthus subacaulis is wrong and I remember now. It's Dianthus gratianopolitanus and that seed, also from Gardens North, was not included in a mix. If I bothered looking up old records I'd have found that info, lol.
