I like C. Fontanesii the best, those purple stems really catch the eye. I like to mix purple and green foilage in ground covers and that EE has it all in one package.

I used to live up north in 4b for a couple decades and was always amazed at the touble people went thru with cannas, agapanthus and other non hardy plants to grow in their beds. I was always happy with a couple lilacs, a peony or two and some marigolds from seed for summer.

I was going to use Dale_a_lazy_gardener as my screen name, but it was too long. I had also considered Slacker_gardener, but wanted to use my first name. Makes me wish they had made the dialog box wider.

This EE runs wild here, along streams and rivers, even in wet ditches by the highways.
