I hope you're right Geof.
It's not a bed where I want to spend a lot of effort or money but cover and color would be nice. I'm the only person that uses the walk, poor view from the street and the house. Last years plants got a little "leggy" and that's perfect. Pretty much why I'm trying again. Last year my mom mentioned my grandmother growing them at the farm she was raised on, trying to add a little nostalgia with the blooms.
