As I sit surrounded with catalogs, some of the 'grabber lines' make me chuckle :)

Blooms in Minnesota!.....does this mean it won't bloom in Maryland?

Deer-Proof!.....they don't know our local deer!

Fast Growing!......in our garden I will be pulling this up for the next 10 years..

Magnificent Show Summer to Fall!....I think this will not happen

Laughs at Heat and Drought!....no, that's me chuckling, not the plant

Worldwide Exclusive!.....we have no idea if this will grow in your area

Clay Busting Perennials!.....don't care what they say, soil must be amended...


How about you? Any favorites?

The key word they really mean is resistant, not proof.
