Will you accept 51 votes? I'm sure this will change next year because I've more than doubled the number of cultivars I have and I know I'm gonna love, love, love some of them (like June and Kiwi Full Monty, for instance), but here's this year's list, in alphabetical order - Alex Summers Fragrant Bou...

Hmmm. Spotted this thread when going over old posts on the HVX subject. Obviously your efforts in 2005 to persuade Walmart to do the right thing were unsuccessful. I purchased my HVX horror story from a Walmart in Berlin VT in 2007. Normally, I never buy the junk they sell, but I was in an upbeat mo...

Cheryl, Love my salvias and lamb's ears! I use both white and blue salvias. The idea with that particular garden was to have the blues dominate during the day and then the whites take over in the early evening.

Wow! your great ideas sent me scurrying all over the internet in pursuit of these and leads on others. I think at one point I had over 20 windows open. Tried a leaf color search at the Hosta Registry and concluded that gray-green, other than as streaks in a green-to-white or white-to-green margined ...

Thanks for the suggestions and the warm welcome! Goes to show why a forum like this is so valuable. Gray Cole is the only one of these I'd come across already as a possibility, but even so the descriptions and photos vary enough that I couldn't be sure. I noticed that Gunsmoke was listed as having G...

I'm seeking recommendations for gray-green foliage, either solid or variegated, to keep my 'Moonlight Sonata' from looking so alone after it changes to gray-green. Would love to see a list of as many as you know and then suggestions for the most interesting and reliable ones on the list. Looking for...
