I wouldn't say it's impossible to think one might grow in Rhode Island if you're in the warmer parts. But they hate summer water...we're pretty dry in the summer...so that might be an issue.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-32140540945948920462015-10-13T16:45:33.361-07:002015-10-13T16:45:33.361-07:00I have tuned into your blog for the love of all th...I have tuned into your blog for the love of all things spiky, but it is the deep cranberry colored, smooth barked shrub behind the Agave parryi 'JC Raulston' that wowed me in this post.

You have such a terrific sense of design esp. as it relates to scale and positive/negative space. And then there are your plants. My Synellisis is a brown fading mess and your matching pair on either side of the back path are still stunning. And you are clearly having success with your 'Axminster Gold' that you wondered about earlier in the season. Though we garden in radically different climates a visit to your garden is always an inspiration!LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-23623866785782637632015-10-04T22:43:20.382-07:002015-10-04T22:43:20.382-07:00So beautiful!

When all of my ground cover Grevillea bit the dust during the winter of 2013/14 I dug them out and planted several more Blue Pacific, 5 actually. They're still small in the photos but eventually will make a lovely blue/green carpet and knit all the small plants together.
