I got rid of Monarda Bluestocking but am keeping Jakob Kline and Raspberry Wine. Spanish bluebell - very pretty flowers but leaves spread out and cover more delicate plants. Ditto Anemone Sept. Charm. Anemone ranuncoloides - it was supposed to be nemerosa - I wanted soft blue not chrome yellow. Purple spiderwort - never liked it. Calamintha and nepeta - thinned way out. Nicotiana alata - keeps coming up - one plant is enough, for the scent.

Getting rid of trumpet vine for six years now - a house wrecker. Actually I'm moved some away from the house to see if it will climb a pine tree. Too many pink roses. Why did I get so many pink ones? Would get rid of screaming pink spirea and forsythia if I could dig them up. Getting rid of a zillion Norway maple seedlings. Would kill six parent trees if I could afford too.

Want more - native azaleas, ferns, hostas, gingers, columbines, spicebush, tiarella. Want to try corylopsis, bamboo and new magnolias, candelabra primroses, rodgersia, fothergilla. Obviously need a damp garden. Want deep pockets. Want willing helpers. Last year I backed off garden greed. Reform short-lived.

Bishop Weed that's beginning to encroach & take over one of my garden beds.

I just ordered some Itea "Little Henry" and some Hydrangea "Annabelle". I've never tried either one. People up here (Sussex County) don't have much luck getting hydrangeas to bloom. Annabelle is supposed to be more cold tolerant than most, so we'll see.

I bought some Bishop's weed last year, totally ignorant (until I got home and looked it up!) of it's invasive habit. From now on, I don't care what kind of whacko I look like, I'm bringing a perennial handbook to the nursery so I can look up interesting plants BEFORE I buy them!

Norway maples.... ugh. I have a huge one that I am getting limbed up and crown thinned this year. Hopefully it will help to get plants to grow under it.

Yep, yep, I want deep pockets and helpers, too. Especially after doing planning over the winter: I want new driveway, new pergola, new windows, new front yard and walkway and porch, Gardenia augusta Grif's Select or GARDENIA augusta 'Chuck Hayes' Gardenia, photinia red robin, MAHONIA x 'Charity', MAHONIA bealei, Hellebores: Lenten Rose Royal Heritage, Witch Hazel, Genus Hamamelis, MAGNOLIA grandiflora 'Kay Paris', HEUCHERA villosa 'Caramel', HEUCHERA americana 'Green Spice', CAMELLIA japonica 'Kumasaka', winterberry, viburnum newport, blue prince holly, bamboo, ferns, hibiscus, russian sage, lavender... to name a few. I am focusing on evergreens this year.

Got rid of two beautiful roses at plant swap this fall.

Hmmmmm...

Getting rid of:
Liriope muscari; they were controllable early on, but geez, did they spread! Too many unmanagable clumps lining the bed in the front of the house (maybe 10). I removed 3 last year and replaced with salvias. Much better ;)
Rose of Sharon (lilac/red throat); really don't like it, never did, but I can't throw anything out. Will relocate to work ;) Already purchased a Hibiscus coccinea to replace it; yippee!

Wants?:
I'm getting into red. I never liked red flowers, but since I'm getting more hummers each year (well, this will be my third year), I want to keep them happy. I've already moved alot of my plants around, last year, and moved other hummer favorites in. I'm already trying to figure out what else I need to move and what else I can fit in! I think my veggie garden may soon be a thing of the past; it's right next to my hummer area, so it's taking up some valuable real estate!

I want my Monarda "Jacob Cline" to become invasive!

I also wish I had some better areas for vines. I purchased a Coral Honeysuckle, but I don't know where I can possibly put it, that it'll thrive and climb.

I pull out every Ajuga plant I see, and have eliminated most. I also tear at any Tradescantia and it gradually weakens and dies. Both these plants, and especially the Tradescantia, have nice flowers but they grow too well here.
The list of things I want to try is too big to mention, but I am ordering Stokesia 'Mary Gregory' and white flowered gas plant after losing these years ago. I also am planning to get Selaginella uncinata, while I may have to keep it in a shaded terrarium jar, and also the greyish leaved white flowered Dicentra, mostly for the foliage. I think this plant will be successful but not a pest here.

I tried the selaginella - lost it. No splashing stream side to keep it happy. A terrarium jar - hmmmm.
