Marie - when you're out hunting you might want to look at the shorter dahlias. They have them in sizes from 12" to the giant ones and they will bloom until frost.

Etelka - I don't think you've ever mentioned Albemarle before! That was the home town to the real PIRL. She lived at the corner of Cotton and Gin, near Peedee Drive (a main road there).

Gypsy Queen does look fabulous! Niobe is a nice color but mine never grows really tall.

Do you have a name for that hydrangea? I only ask because many get to 5' x 5' and if that's the case with yours it will need moving within a few years (just a friendly warning from someone who had no idea how large mine would get). This is Bluebird hydrangea in the collage and you can see it above the row of x's (with the tag) after I planted it in 2006 and then see how large it became just two years later. Now it's even larger!

Wonderful Black and Blue Salvia. I love that plant.
