| I saw these two plants at a small nursery this past weekend. They were both in small pots, so both were equally small. And each looked very similar (to each other). Do you have experience with either of these Sanguisorba? (I did pick up one "Red Thunder"....with no place to put it ;). Here it is below)

| How pretty! I love seeing Sanguisorba of all types in photos. I only grow one: Sanguisorba tenuifolia 'Alba'. I think it needs/wants more moisture than I can reasonably provide in my sandy soil. This is my second season with it and it just seems to barely grow. Sigh. By the way, what nurseries are you going to that have such a wonderful selection of perennials? You always post the most amazing finds! :-) |

| I think it needs/wants more moisture Thanks for the real life confirmation ispahan (you are always so helpful). I was worried this was an issue ie water needy. I bought this plant kind of knowing it needed to go in a naturally moist location (I don't have such a place in full sun) or I would need to provide supplemental water (I really don't want to do this). I think the best option for me is to plant it in lots of sun and see how it gets on next season. (I will water it this August so that it is healthy going into the winter). By the way, what nurseries are you going to that have such a wonderful selection of perennials? With much that I learn from GW I have an on-going list of unique perennials that I would like (not need). And I really enjoy going to nurseries even far afield. So I am always on the look-out for good stuff! |
