cast iron plant, cast iron plant, cast iron plant. Can't sing its praises enough! Full sun, heavy shade, clay, sand, soggy soil, drought! All with flying colors! Needle palm may be slow growing, but its a trooper too!

My Echinacea tennesseensis did very well this year. They are planted in full sun and received very little water. I have collected 3 five gallon buckets of coneheads and will be posting a SASBE offer on the Seed Exchange soon for anyone interested.

Could it be cypress vine? Check the link below. If so, you will have it in your yard for 100 more years. It reseeds abundantly, to say the least.

Duh!!! My previous message was an answer to another post. How did it get here? Just because I am old doesn't mean I could be slipping some, does it? I know, it must be the computer gremlin that mixed it up. Sorry, folks.

Oddly enough, I was just thinking the other day how some of my plants had been real troopers thru the drought. Best of show: China roses, Jean Bach Sisley & Cramoisi Superieur; polyantha Perl d'Or; and tea Gilbert Nabbonand have all done really well. So much so I was looking at my Knockout roses and thinking of replacing them with some chinas, nothing against the knockouts, but the chinas sure have been pretty!

Hello All , I walked though my yard this pass week.....for the first time since we had the weeks and weeks of 100 + degree weather, was afraid what I'd find , I have a small yard mostly hilly riddled with rocks , large and small and what little rain i did get ran mostly into street .... best plants in my Nashville yard were ...
Crinum 's two large clumps at two different level's ....just a bit of browning on the leaves , bloomed twice . all sedum's look fine , fall gregii salvia looking good ... loriope variegata , ornamental blue fescue grass , culinary sage , garlic chives ,4ock's , oxalis , candytuff , iris , aster - purple dome ,TN. columbine , spieces canna , ceratostigma plumbaginoides , fall A. clematis ,
The rest appear to be dormant or AT least that's what I'm hoping ! and oh yea ! sea oat grass every where sea oat grass which is beautiful , but what a thug . I did water but mostly houseplants and container's , and potted up perennial 's , the rest was on it's own .
