HELP me please!!
plants are better value. Have a look at perennial wallflowers Erysimum 'Bowles's Mauve' or Lavenders, Hebes are good but a little boring. Hardy fuchsias. Daffodils are good value. I would also consider growing cosmos from seed. All hardy annuals are good by natalia85

Which geranium is this?
Hi, I was just wondering which variety of geranium this photo shows?  I would like to grow some hardy varieties, but how do you tell between the tender bedding type and the perennials? What do the leaves look like? Go down to the GC and look. Those by caz11

Perennial wallflower
I have 3 lovely variegated perennial wallflowers in my front garden that flower from spring right thru to autumn so I am guessing they will not seed.  I have "googled" but can find nowhere that stocks them.  I cannot remember where I got them from by Linda Mary

Gaillardia death
the same problem with 'perennial' gallardia and some coreopsis and as for coneflowers (echinacea) a complete waste of time (and $$$). I have found coreopsis 'Zagreb" to be hardy (3rd year now) and roots well from cuttings. Coreopsis 'limerock ruby' which by Woodgreen wonderboy
