What a nice little seasonal arrangement Eileen! I like those twig balls mixed in there. I saw some similar ones in the grocery store, and now, I may just have to go back for them. <br />With the shrubs like your azalea and Ninebark there are nice accents of dark burgundy foliage in your garden. You also have some very nice grasses in your collection of plants. I am impressed with your phlox.

I should really make a plant list from your garden blog that I can copy because it looks great no matter what season you post about.

It is a late grass so you can have other things blooming around it all summer. I like the idea that it can stand all winter.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-13076477674529466492012-10-09T23:43:29.713-05:002012-10-09T23:43:29.713-05:00Does 'Little Kitten' seed about?

I think it could stand some more sun but it looks fine and will add some interest in the winter.<br /><br />I am really liking Little Kitten even though it is bigger than a lot of the websites say. It sure adds to the fall garden. They suggest leaving it up over the winter.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-59866661801752662952012-10-09T17:52:45.044-05:002012-10-09T17:52:45.044-05:00Hi Grace,

I have a friend who has Ninebark on the south side of his home facing west and they do fine.<br /><br />I wonder if it is the variety?

It’s good to know that I must plant it in a pretty sunny spot to get the color. <br /><br /> I like the size of Little Kitten. 3 ft. x 3 ft. would be perfect in my rockwall garden. Does it also need a lot of sun?<br /><br />I hope you don't get this comment multiple times.

I need to move my Nine Bark. It just fries where I have it located now. Yours is so gorgeous. GRACE PETERSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520343332670354262noreply@blogger.com
