If it ever looks even a tiny bit like your first photo, I'll be thrilled. <br /><br />donnadonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-31246162291399853962010-05-09T22:40:50.751-04:002010-05-09T22:40:50.751-04:00I bought a 'Carolina Moonlight' a few year...I bought a 'Carolina Moonlight' a few years ago. It does not seem to bloom as prolifically as the purples do. Then this year, one stalk had white flowers.

Was not a plant I'd grown up with but I saw it in Peggy Schmidt's beautiful garden (all blues and whites) and read about it in Ezra Haggard's Perennials of the Lower Midwest.<br />The only negative I ever heard of was trying to get rid of it once it's Juliehttp://www.humanflowerproject.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-71744794790783847162010-05-09T11:07:39.377-04:002010-05-09T11:07:39.377-04:00I have a B.

At first, I put it in a spot that I thought got more sun than it did, so last spring, I got up my nerve and moved it. It seemed fine. This spring, I had given up hope on it for its new spot, it's been so late, but I saw a little shoot coming up yesterday, so I'm hoping it comes back.

I guess now I am going to have to look up the true name of False Rue Anemone. I have been wishing for a white Baptisia, but knowing its need for its perfect spot so it never needs moving, I have delayed. Now, having just typed that, I believe I have thought of the perfect spot.

How does one determine the best method when each had a 50% failure rate of spring return?Christopher C. NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621322814577793080noreply@blogger.com
