Its interesting seeing some of the same plants growing there and here in Denver, they are a bit tighter and more gray.kintgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388919666611818768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-58884340200687282012017-01-09T15:05:03.700-08:002017-01-09T15:05:03.700-08:00That's certainly the rule I've been garden...That's certainly the rule I've been gardening by, although the crazy is definitely getting knocked back by our winter. The only Y. linearifolia that I've ever grown up and died almost immediately.

I thought the rule was just "a garden where you plant everything you like and it becomes crazy in four years" - or less.<br />Gorgeous garden and thanks for sharing another visit. I loved it the first time and more now. As most have commented, the Y. linearifolia steal the show. Mine is showing a little burn on the youngest leaves, but they should grow out quickly come summer. I saw one at the Plant Delights gardens in Raleigh that was about four feet tall, maybe more.
