None of my other ones even show hints of blooming yet.<BR/><BR/>I'd not heard Appleblossom Grass either, Annie. I've always known it as Gaura, but I always try to put the common name here, too. I've got it sited where it does get good drainage, in fact, the soil has a fairly high gravel content. I can't find the plant tag right now, but I'm certain it said zone 5 on it, or I wouldn't have bought it, but online I can only find zone 6 as the limit to its cold hardiness.Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-64481892533756778432007-08-16T11:59:00.000-04:002007-08-16T11:59:00.000-04:00Kylee, you seem to have fun trying out new varieti...Kylee, you seem to have fun trying out new varieties - the 'Blushing Bride' is way prettier than the other Endless Summer hydrangeas, 'Mrs Robert Brydon' is a delicate beauty and Jethro Tull is great! Your plants are ahead of mine - no Lablabs in bloom as yet here.<BR/><BR/>I've never heard Appleblossom grass used as a name for the Texas native Gaura lindheimerii, but did have some luck overwintering it when I lived in IL. Gaura needs really good drainage to be cold resistent... having its roots frozen in ice killed it. <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-32208561224053322762007-08-16T01:48:00.000-04:002007-08-16T01:48:00.000-04:00It's funny...

Your photos are spectacular and I really love the detailed descriptions you give on each flower, how you acquired it, and how it has fared. Just a joy to read!
