Karen, I'm going to try shovel prunning the coreopsis come fall; I've always dug the entire clump up each time. Thanks for the tip! I love Gardener's supply and have ordered a lot from them. Last year I bought myself a digging fork from HD and I love that tool, use it instead of a shovel to lift plants out of the ground. I know snapdragons reseed. I just clipped that mystery plant, Silene Armeria, as I understand it reseeds. I pulled up all the forget-me-nots earlier this week as they had reseeded so much since they were planted, even the new Chinese forget-me-nots that I wintersowed this year. Didn't like nothing about them, except the color of their blue flower. They have long, lanky stems and in a flower bed, the foliage ended up laying on the ground..I can see them being used maybe in a patio container where it could drape off the side of the pot or in a hanging backet or hanging over a wall.

I've got my eye on some peony support rings from Gardener's supply. Forgot that I removed the existing plant supports last winter and stored them in the garage. Forgot to put them over the peony bushes before the foliage started growing. I hate the ones that you have to attach the 3 legs to the ring..they are always falling apart and trying to figure out how to make them attach to the ring is like putting a puzzle together and I'm not good at that. Hating putting puzzles together. I don't have that patience or aptitude to do it.

My Zagreb is about ready to start blooming; I can see faint signs of yellow buds..I will definately try your method of division this Fall on that plant. Thanks for sharing.
