Quite a few plants are now in the ground. I put 5 Heuchera Firefly seedlings in the ground for a client, along with 4 Salvia Red Jewel. I put in, for myself, cynoglossum, Pam's double platycodons (3 of them, to go with some blue platys I bought), 3 salvia Rose Queen, 2 polemonium, 5 salvia verticillata in white.

I have a number of seedlings that will be ready to go out in a week or two. Some salvia Victoria and reference. I'm now seeding my third generation. Salvia hominum germinated almost overnight,, so for once I am not starting it too early.

I'm thrilled to see that the borage I seeded last year is coming back. It's great when you can just move around last year's seedlings and not have to start from scratch.

Here are my salvia verticillata 'White Rain' seedlings. This is what they looked like in March. It's out of commerce, and the only source of seed I could find was Hazzard's, which provided me with several kinds of seeds with great germination rates.
