I have a very mixed selection here:
Cephalaria giagantea Giant scabiosa
Geranium phaeum Sambocor
Papaver orientale Checkers
Myrrhis Odorata Sweet Cicely
Angelica Hispanica
Dianthus turkestanicus
Fragaria vesca
Delphinium White & Black
Sweet Ciciley
Tall Joe Pye weed
Indian Paint Brush
Chinese Houses Collinsia heterophylla
Columbine Barlow
Toad Lily
Larkspur Kaleidoscope Mix

Except for the columbine and dianthus, all of these are new to me. I tried to choose seeds that indicated that had a long stratification period. I haven't started my annuals yet--probably beginning of April before I do that.

Some of the annuals I'm planning on WS are:
Eryngium planum Sea Holly
Foxglove Foxy
Delphinium Fantasia mix
Sea Holly Miss Willmott's Ghost
Clarkia Elegans Mountain Garland
Cleome Violet Queen
Linaria Northern Lights
Linaria Enchantment
Scabiosa Isaac House Mix
Snapdragon Black prince
Snapdragon Lipstick silver

Glad to see a few things I've WS might have a good chance--thanks so much for the information, Neal. Can I take a road trip to visit your garden (and maybe stop by Karen's on the way) ? Smiling

I live on a 1/3 acre suburban lot--by the time you take away the footprint of our home, my space is limited. I love flowers, and use a lot of containers to get color here, there, and everywhere (same thing for veggies). I do have quite a few perennials, but also need the annuals to keep the color going (as well as enough for me to cut for bouquets).

I think I need to move to a warmer zone (and larger lot).
