I have been completely smitten by my garden and admire all efforts to create a little piece of Eden in other garden spaces. It truly has a positive impact on people .. even if it is only for a few moments at a time. My little garden is in zone 5b but most gardeners experiment with plants that may just make it from a higher zone .. a micro-climate can some times cushion a tender plant. I am a plant 'collector" I have more of a plant zoo than a designed garden. : )
Sparkler Echinacea has been an amazing surprise this year for me. I bought one to "add" to my collection of Echinaceas but I saw that it struggled with something chomping on it's leaves and I wasn't really keeping an eye on it .. the colour of it's flowers has been shockingly beautiful ! This picture doesn't do it justice but it is a pretty contrast with Hamelin fountain grass.
