Hill-where is Stephanville? The reason I'm asking is I've seen skullcap in several nurseries. There are a couple of parts of Texas I need to travel to real soon. ;)

Yes--I do a lot of propagating of plants. Sometimes I'm better at propagating them than growing them....

It looks really easy--has the 'scrubby' consistancy of like Autumn Sage so it should do really good. Can you let one of those Gallardia's go to seed later? Shamelessly begging for seeds here again...lol

I was out looking for things that were doing good right now--thought about starting a thread since the one about things dying was kinda depressing for this early in the summer--but thought better of it. Anyways, most of the things doing well are the natives...duh...this turk's cap is really doing pretty well in early season sun. It will have more shade by august. They really can handle a lot of sun, they just get real 'leggy' and need something to lean against. Easy to root too.
