Posted by tfancy on Wednesday, April 4, 2001 1:25 pm ADTHi New Gardener! I have had a bit of experience over 10 years of what works well for me and doesn't. Some of my favorites are as follows: Liatris(gay geather),Purple coneflower, Lambs ear, Any phlox(hardy hardy)Any daisy varietys. Non-favorite:lavender(no luck?),aliums, poppies, Honeysuckle vine. I am guessing soil type is my problem but I keep trying. Good luck

Posted by Rosemary on Friday, April 27, 2001 7:58 pm ADTHi there ! I've become a gardening addict over the last three or four years and have over 150 varieties of perennials in my garden now, mostly started from seed. Some have been flops, others have been too successful. Where are you? I find that even in your own yard there are many micro-climates and what may be hardy to zone 6 in one spot ill not thrive in another spot. Send me a line
