This is a continuation of a similar post down a few inches from this....

Dianthus 'Tiny rubies' (P) pink pom-pom blooms 2 -3 inches tallBlooms May 19- for 2 weeks Full sun


Dianthus 'Flashing light' (P)(walmart) hot pink 2 inches plant and 4 inches blooms, blooms may 19- for 2 weeks. prostrate plant with darker leaves- a splendid dainthus for tumbling over rocks...


Daisy (P)- shasta maybe, blooms may 19 for 7 weeks altho tapers off after 4 weeks. Very self sowing and spreads quickly.will compete against crab grass!


Variagated bearded iris. (P) Hold var. color all season. Full sun. I have several types and they all bloom the same color- light purple and same time, may 19 for 2 weeks. The aroma of grape jelly is TO die for!! I have an unnamed one plus, : iris pallida 'Aureo-Variegata'and Iris 'Variegata (Zebra- striped sweet iris) Bearded iris for me have had trouble wiht bacterial root rot with our soggy springs, I haven't had this problem with this iris however, don't put it in a wet spot.


Clematis "Guillain Blades' (P) vine white 3 inch blooms may 19 for 3 weeks the has cool hairy seed swirls. mine is part sun would be taller if I taught it to climb- label says 12'


Columbine (P)- pink may 19 for 4 weeks, 16 inches, part sun- blooms in 2 yrs from seed

Nepeta (catmint) 'walker's low' (P) light purple may 19th and still going 7 weeks later. full sun, drought tol, collects bees that act drunk on it. shorter at 20 inches but give it room- 4 ft across! I cut mine back last year and was sorry- it took so long to rebloom- I'm going to leave it this year. propagates by seed but quicker by division.


Geranium 'Brookside and Johnson's blue- (P) I can't see any difference in these two.Neither are truelly blue.

sun, floppy so I have them propped by neighboring plants so this way they are 2 ft tall. may 20- and still going so 7 weeks+


Siberian iris 'Caesar's brother' (P) purple)only 2 weeks of bloom starting may 25, but the foliage makes it one of my favorite 'grasses'. Less fuss than bearded iris. Grows 24 + inches tall.visitor's favorite. Divides well and fills in quickly.


Daylily 'stella de oro' gold/orange(P) longest bloomer of daylilies 20" may 27 and still going on a few plants- 6+weeks can be seed grown but quicker by division .part sun to full sun. Thinking about trying in full shade- anyone tried it?

Salvia 'Blue Queen' (p) self seeds. sun 20" height and 3-4 ft across after a couple yrs. purple/blue color. blooms may27 for 4 weeks.

Tall bearded iris 'superstition' called black but actually extremely dk purple. lost 60 to bacterial root rot. Too much 'fragrance' for vase. 2 ft blooms may 27 for only 5 days sun

Silene U Druetts ( P) may 27- still going mid July. White Dr. Suess flowers on groundcover.

Mine from seed bloomed after two yrs with all gray/green foliage,came from mom's and her's have variagated foliage. 3" tall. sun

Salvia 'East Friesland' (P) redish/purple may 27 for 4 weeks. new and so short 14" sun

Linaria (A) 'dwarf fairy mix' many colors, bloomed first, now full size mix in bloom ,sun, wintersow, may 28- july 6 weeks if you plant both types. 1 ft to 18"


Lemon lily daylily. These were 3 ft tall blooms with 18 " foliage but new to my garden so bloomed shorter. Lemon yellow, sun/part sun. Flowers appear to hover above foliage.
