| How about: "Crown Imperial" (fritillaria imperialis) -dramatic flowering plants - zones 5-9. "Starfighter" Oriental Lily zones 3-8 I'm sure I saw a plant called Darth Vader - but I cannot remember if it was an iris, a tulip, or...? |
|
| Found it - but it's an orchid. It's called Dark Stars Darth Vader. I also saw a Coleus named Darth Vader. |
|
| For some reason I thought of Persicaria "Lance Corporal". |

| I suppose he would be more excited about 'Enterprise' roses (as in "Star Trek") than 'Scarlett O'Hara' roses. |

| lol - yes wendy - i suppose you are right! but at least this topic has him *thinking* about the garden instead of saying the "oh, they all look the same to me" comment when i ask about it. thanks for all the suggestions everyone! keep em coming if you have any - i did the search here on garden web AND on line but haven't had much luck narrowing it down to plant names anywhere -all i get are fan sites about star wars and such...... :) |

| Wookie by Patrick Stamile Empire Returns A whole Jedi series And then just for a Sci-Fi themed garden... Exotic Empire Stargate Doppler Effect Gamma Quadrant Supreme Empire SpaceCoast Starburst Notify Ground Crew George Jets On All the above are daylilies. |

| I just stumbled onto this subject. My DH and I are HUGE Star Wars fans! Even my screen name is from SW. I was watching HGTV one Saturday recently and I swear Paul James said he had a Viburnum that was called "Jedi". Anyone heard of it? Frizzle, if you are still on this forum, how has your husband gotten on with his great idea of a Star Wars garden? My husband's ears perked up when I read him this post. Thanks for any ideas or names/types of plants! |
