Not sure what you're asking -- but if it's for ideas -- how about Ernest Markham or Nelly Moser -- my Nelly gives me a double flower show at the end of the summer after her initial spring large flowering. gorgeous! Both do excellent jobs of pairing with shrubs and roses.

Yes, it is for ideas. Thank you heatherine!

Have a look see here. You may just find something special!

My favorite is Mrs. Cholmondely, pronounced Mrs. Chumley. It never wilts, it's in shade, although lots of light and it blooms regulary in late June with large, almost dinner plate sized light blue flowers. This is a fast growing one too. I would also recommend Marie Boisselot, but it is much slower and it does not get many blooms at one time, however, the white is so stunning that you really don't mind.

I think unless you can find some good ones locally right now (they're becoming very scarce) I would consider putting together an order for fall. Joy Creek is an excellent source as is Brushwood Nursery, and Chalk Hill. Donahue's is also a good source although a little smaller but the price is also easier on your wallet. :) I think these online sources will be updating their online catalogs soon. I was thinking of e-mailing them to find out when they do that...you might consider doing that as well. Most have a click on 'contact us.' I'll get you started with Joy Creek. :) Lots of pics to look at too!

Thank you for all the help!

My 2 cents is Candida. Huge white blooms in spring, and interesting seed heads afterwards. Mine is three years old and has been moved once but this year it is about seven feet high. Gets morning sun only and not much water. A trooper for me !

I personally love my Multi-Blue. It's fabulous this year.

HF Young! and also Niobe, Niobe, Niobe!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I may have to get more than three if I can find room.
