OP angelblossom A Gnome's Best Friend Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 30,001 Arlington,Texas	Thanks Jiffy! I've read up on them . They self seed. To extend blooming time ~ deadhead In the heat of the summer they will stop blooming and begin again when it gets cooler in the fall. Sooooooo I will dead head every other one, and start collecting seeds,, and let seeds fall on their own,, Hopefully I will have them again and again . I planted them with a mixture of home compost, rich potting soil, and humus/ manure mixture, all well mixed within natural ground soil,, and watered in with super thrive. In a week I will give them a feeding of bloom burst. "Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."

I think the white soprano is more 'compact' is that right??/ I have the crescendo orange & the compact purple ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....

My friend, Myrna, went to visit her sister on Saturday after we went to the perennial nursery in the morning. She has found a terrific nursery down there in NJ, and this was her second trip. I had asked her to get some purple osteos for me - she got 12 small pots for $15 - not bad!!! The small ones I bought here were $3 each. She gave them to me today, but the boss was there this last time and charged her $20 for the same 12 plants, so that's what I paid - not bad really - still much cheaper than what I paid. They are going to be taller than the ones I have already - I might plant them over at my mom's - I always plant her rock garden and others for Mother's Day.

Nope I haven't found it yet,, well on the internet yes,, but I don't want to order them on the net, I caught birds eating the seeds from mine today,, I was letting them dry up,, I guess early bird gets the seeds,, I need to be a little faster getting out there and harvesting the seeds,, "Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
