2 more varieties of Peony have opened

A view of the Wisteria 'Aunt Dee'. After being in the ground for several years, I got my first bloom last year. This year she is giving me more and I couldn't be happier!

  1. I love the bloom on 'Home and Garden'. Does it have a fragrance?

  2. Gorgeous photos!! You have such a lovely garden.


    Thanks for responding to my query about my mystery plant. Does this variety of artemisia grow into a woody shrub? As I understand it, this plant does.

  3. NotSoAngryRedHead ~ it is not one of my more fragrant Roses, but it does have an ever so slight scent to it.

    Shirley~yes, Southernwood grows into a woody shrub about 3 feet tall. It has a very interesting scent and is said to repel moths. I think it makes an interesting addition to the garden.

  5. Tootsie-Yes! I wanted Wisteria as long as I can remember and thought I couldn't grow it here. Then I found Wisteria macrostachya 'Aunt Dee' which can grow in zone 4a.

  6. Oops Tootsie - I just noticed that you are in zone 3! Maybe if you had a little zone 4 'micro-climate' in your yard?
