I did look at the yellow one, but read up on it and didn't get it for that reason. I love montana! It reseeds very well for me. I cut it back when it looks ragged and it reblooms too.

I'm never sure if a cottage garden looks better with the soft pinks and yellows, and the deep blues and purples. Or if strong colors are all right.

Phlox, daylilies, white balloon flower and a bit of Knautia!. I missed that earlier.
