Hi Lissa,

According to Select Seeds, 3 feet tall. I think mine have been closer to 2 feet. And, yes, I think the scent is weaker. But what a pretty plant!

Critterologist (what a great handle!), I have several Japanese Painted Ferns. They look so delicate, but they are tough! I'm not sure I ever noticed reflected light, but they are so gorgeous, who cares? Ladies Mantle is one of my favorite plants. It blooms early in the season for us here, and looks good most of the season. The color of the foliage is about the same color as line green nikkis.

Does anyone here know whether Phlox David persists? I've been looking at it for a couple of years.

And speaking of white plants, especially for fall bloom, I love anemone x hybrida Honorine Jobert. I had it installed when we moved here ten years ago. Early in the yard, it forms groundcover like shiny maple shaped leaves, and then it starts blooming in September and well into October. I read that the hybrids last where some of the others done. My four plants have morphed into perhaps ten, because I loved them so much I let them spread. Every year now I tear out a bit to keep them under control, but they're great!
