I find it so much easier to add plants to the landscape rather than remove soil and sod.

I love this plant. It looked great for years but eventually succumbed to verticillium wilt. It's tempting to try this one again, but this time in a pot. Great color!

Thanks for your informative e-mails. Love the magazine; I always read your editorial. I personally prefer the green-leaved Caryopteris because yellow leaves make me jittery as though they're chlorotic and I must DO something about it.

Yes, Yes! Dragon Wing is the best thing to hit the market in years. Loooove them.

This could be my hands-on all time favorite. Love the colors and all the posts on hydrangeas. Can't get enough.

I'd like to plant one too if I can have the time.

Angelonia Serena are great in the landscape! I don't know about growing them from seed, but think you will be very happy with the results in your garden.

If Ravinia is part of your summer like it is ours, that's a wonderful place to lust for an Oakleaf Hydrangea, perfectly sited of course and well-tended. It always prompts a walk through my garden saying, now where on God's green earth can I put Snow Queen?

Love your blogs, Love the magazine.

I am researching seeds for a low-maintenance, affordable garden next year. I found a collection of Angelonia seeds (http://parkseed.com/angelonia-serena%2526trade%253b-seed-collection/p/90326/). Do you think they will be as easy to grow from seed as they are to take care of transplants?
