Just a few daylilies are open here, and both Peter's Purple & Heartleaf Skullcap are in the bud-forming stage.

I guess that question is answered. Yours look great! Sadly, my plants are only 6-8 inches tall. Seems they are way behind the times. Perhaps the drought and lack of irrigation caused them to get a late start?

I had to transplant them a few times after deer nearly killed them and then I chose unwisely and they got too shaded and crowded out by ground covers. I wonder if the deer would eat the creeping germander? It looks like a great choice to get some color into a dry sunny area TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-11265140152864195922013-05-16T02:05:02.228-07:002013-05-16T02:05:02.228-07:00I can't seem to get those sweet dainty bell-sh...I can't seem to get those sweet dainty bell-shaped clematis to grow in my garden. They do real well a couple of years then then disappear. I wonder if you have the same problem and treat them as annuals?? Your garden is fullll of blooms this time of year. Beautiful.
