| Thought I'd share...
Since I can't grow shastas to save my life in the ground over here, I've resorted to treating like potted annuals:
Rodger, my potted Rodgersia: (I am dreading re-potting him, but that day is coming, the pot is rotting after something like 8-9 years)
More pottery and the girls:
Thrilled with the Benary's Giant zinnia this year:
Can't remember if these are Little Lamb or Pee Wee dwarf oakleafs:
Endless Summer:
Annabelle:
A little droopy, but everything about these oakleafs is big and bold:

| Beautiful,love the Rodgersia, I have Fireworks. What is in the pot to the far right in the pics with the dogs. |
|
| The purple-y foliage plant is a perilla. |
|
| Lovely gardens, and the "girls" are very cute. Also it is cute that you name your plants. I love the Oakleaf hydrangeas together. |
|
| Very nice. I love to pot gardens. I have not had much luck with Hydrangea because of the deer they love them. I have 3 that I am trying to keep but it is touch and go. I brought a variegated one 2 years ago and it is still so small after being deer dinner so many times. |

| Your gardens look very lush. Endless Summer does not grow well in the ground for me so I grow it in a container on my deck and it is blooming beautifully. The one in the ground is several years old and pathetic. Isn't it funny how a plant that grows well for others can be so difficult for another? Shasta daisies grow well for me with little care and I have many varieties of size, color and petal shape/count. |
|
| I think your hydrangea is an oakleaf based on the leaves. Little Lamb is a paniculata. LOVE your photos!!! |
|
| Oh, so lovely! Thanks for sharing! Do you have deer or rabbits in your area? I am so tired of protecting my plants from them... You have many deer candies in your garden. |

| Sooo colorful! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! :) |

| Thank you both for sharing such beautiful flowers & foliage pics! Bring them on for those of us still waiting for summer to arrive. Here in western WA state we're waaaay behind you all in blooms with only buds on summer bloomers like crocosmia and hydrangea. Most daylilies have yet to open with Stella beginning last week. mxk3 - I just loved your pinks & whites that must make those part sun places shine. Looks like a nice place to rest awhile. kandhi - Wow, your hot colors combinations really stand out and speak, "Summer's here. Bring your sunglasses & lemonade!" |
