I love that somebody out there has this idea of me though! <br /><br />Wow, 6ft tall? No mines not that big. Probably because it didn't get much water in the heat of the summer when there was no rain. It's wide though, that's why the bus comment. I'd say 5 ft across, which seems like a lot since it was about 6" when I planted it.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-3676369640259189022013-10-10T19:51:12.849-07:002013-10-10T19:51:12.849-07:00You know I'm always hoping for a mild winter. ...You know I'm always hoping for a mild winter.

Cerinthe ...Your garden is looking great as always! Cerinthe seedlings often appear late,tough it through the winter, and put on a lot of growth in the spring. You got some great deals at the tough love sale and glad that you now have a pineapple broom. My edgeworthia, after being happily in place for many years, bloomed, leafed out and then died this year. Maybe it read my mind when I thought that the orange one was pretty but I didn't have space for it.
