I have P. smallii and it is wonderful. It bloomed this year from April till frost. I just deadheaded the flowers and it kept blooming.

If the plants still have seeds [FYI, the weather has been very cold], do you know if they will still germinate for you? If not I will have several babies in the spring that I typically have to mulch.

The same goes for a digitalis lutea? [see image].

Let me know, ROX

Peggy-
I do have a few hundred P. smallii seeds. I will send them tomorrow.
Don't worry about postage of trade. Just enjoy.
If they don't germinate, let me know and in March I will send plants. Every year, I have to mulch several tens of them so I would rather they went to a good home.
