USDA HARDINESS ZONE RANGE: 3 to 7
SOUTHERN LIVING HEAT ZONE: LIGHT PREFERENCE: full sun to partial shade
SOIL pH, moisture & fertility: pH Neutral, Well-drained, Moderately Rich
Propagation: Division, Seeds
REFERENCE NOTES:
GC - In a perennial border it's hard to beat this allium for its addition of texture, color and appeal. Flowers range in
color from reddish-pink to a deep purple and form a perfectly round ball of color which is most attractive to butterflies.
These plants are most effective planted in groups of 10 or so. 'Lucy Ball' and 'Purple Sensation' are recommended cultivars.
Plant your bulbs 4 to 6 inches apart and 4 to 5 inches deep in a well-drained soil. Full sun is recommended for best blooms,
but they will do fine in light shade also.
HORTICULTURE - May 95, pg 58 - A. aflatunense is pictured on pg 60. In April, the stout stalks and broad fuzzy leaves of A.
aflatunense 'Purple Sensation' rise glorious above the surrounding foliage. By mid-May its fat buds have split their tight
sheaths, opening into stunning orange size globes studded like pomander balls with hot purple floriets. They hold their
color til late June.
F & G 11/95 - pg 43 article on Alliums. Says zones 4 - 8. Alliums that do better in warmer areas are A. ursinum (Ramson,
rampion) and A. senescens a/k/a A. tanquticum (Lavender Globe Lily). This article does not mention A. aflatunense.

LIGHT PREFERENCE: SOIL pH, moisture & fertility: pH , ,
Propagation: REFERENCE NOTES:
CHILTERN - Gold medal winner from Australia. More compact and uniform than the species. Very sturdy stemmed sprayes of many
yellow centered silver-white flowers about 3/4 in. across, excellent for cut flower use fresh or dried. Blooms easy to dye.
Full sun or partial shade. 12-16 inches.
TIME-LIFE - Winged everlastings, natives of Australia, get their name from the raised ridges, or "wings," on their stiff
stems. They grow 3 feet tall and have soft, silvery leaves and 1- to 2-inch white flowers with large yellowish centers. USES.
These flowers thrive in full sun and sandy soil (Ammobium is Latin for "living in sand"). Later, winged everlastings can be
used in dry winter bouquets. For this purpose they should be clipped just before the flowers are fully open and hung
upside down in a dry, shady place. HOW TO GROW. Sow seeds indoors about six weeks before the last frost is due and set
seedlings outdoors, 9 inches apart, when night temperatures do not fall below 50ø. Seeds may also be sown outdoors as soon
as the soil can be spaded and raked in the spring. Winged everlastings are easy to transplant at any stage of their
development.
MSU Website - Winged Everlasting's common name refers to the wings on the stems. The white flowers with yellow centers are
often used as a dried flower. The flowers should be cut for drying just as they open. An additional ornamental trait is the
gray foliage. Provide a sunny growing area with a well-drained, sandy soil.

Plant Delights - This unique voodoo lily, hardy here if planted at 1 ft depth, has heavily mottled stems which emerge in June
and give rise to large hand-like leaves atop the stem. By the end of summer, each leaf forms warts, which can be removed
and planted to make additional plants. The flowers on mature bulbs emerge in late spring to 18 inches tall before the
foliage appears as a ceramic pink shell-like sculpture with a deep red center and a unique fragrance - they don't look real.
When they flower, the bulbs will often rest for a year before producing another leaf.

Botanical Garden Accession #20191-231-80. FAMILY Primulaceae COMMON NAME Blue Pimpernel
ORIGIN The wild species is native to the Mediterranean Region. This form was selected from plants grown from seed from
the Alpine Garden Society of England in 1980. GENERAL DESCRIPTION Low, spreading herbaceous perennial forming mounds 15 cm
tall and up to 80 cm across in a season. Plants are covered with gentian blue flowers from late May until hard frost in the
autumn. Perennial in our climate if grown in a warm, sunny location, otherwise annual or biennial in colder locations. SOIL
REQUIREMENTS Average, well-drained soils. EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS Full sun, with at least 6 hours of sun. Flowers do not open
in shade. PRUNING None necessary. May be sheared back in late autumn or early spring before new growth begins. USES IN THE
LANDSCAPE Alpine gardens, front of perennial borders, in walls, containers, or for summer bedding and hanging baskets.
HARDINESS Completely hardy in Vancouver (USDA Zone 8A, Canadian Zone 8b). Should be hardy to hardy to USDA Zone 7 (Can. Zone
7b-8a) or colder with some protection.
PROPAGATION Roots readily from stem cuttings.

REFERENCE NOTES:
GC - This is a great choice for moist soil, where most gray foliage plants will not grow. Pearly Everlasting is grown for its
downy foliage and profuse white flower heads which bloom from late summer into the autumn. These flowers make a good cut
flower or may be dried for later use in fall arrangements. Will do well in average garden soil that is kept moist, but is
well-drained and can grow fine in either full sun or part shade. This plant can become invasive and will probably spread
quickly to the borders of its bed.
DICTIONARY - says well drained, sun or dry shade. #961
COX - lists zones 3 - 7
EXPERT - will succeed in nearly all conditions but dislikes heavy, poorly drained soils. Can be invasive.

Hardiness Zone: 4 to 8 Height: 3 ft Spacing: 15 in Type: herbaceous perennial Flowers: Pink Comments: Windflowers are
long-lived and fairly trouble free when given good growing conditions. They like a well-drained soil with good amounts of
organic matter. Most will do well with full sun in the morning and dappled light in the afternoon. Some shade is more
desirable in warmer climates. Mulching to maintain a cool root zone is beneficial. In winter, anemones die back to deep,
woody fibrous roots. Anemones need a winter mulch and thorough watering in dry weather. The seed heads are ornamental and
may be dried. Propagation: Propagation is by seed, division and root cuttings. Division is done in early spring but only
when necessary as the plant should not be disturbed once established. Plant seed indoors in the spring. Keep the
temperature between 70 and 75 degrees. Germination takes place in three to four weeks. Seed may also be sown outside in the
fall for spring germination. Cultivars 'Alba' - Single, white flowers. 'Honorine Jobert' - Heavy production of large,
2-inch, white flowers. 'Margarete' - Double, pink flowers. 'Pamina' - Large, semi-double rose-colored flowers. 'Prince
Henry' - Deep, rose-colored, semi-double flowers. 'Queen Charlotte' - Pink flowers borne on sturdy stems. 'Rosenschale' -
Single, pink flowers. 'September Charm' - Single, lilac-pink flowers. 'Whirlwind' - Large, semi-double, white flowers.

http://www.msue.msu.edu/msue/imp/modop/00000109.html - Anemone X hybrida (A. hupehensis var. japonica) --Windflower
Hardiness Zone: 4 to 8 Height: 3 ft Spacing: 15 in Type: herbaceous perennial Flowers: Pink Comments: Windflowers are
long-lived and fairly trouble free when given good growing conditions. They like a well-drained soil with good amounts of
organic matter. Most will do well with full sun in the morning and dappled light in the afternoon. Some shade is more
desirable in warmer climates. Mulching to maintain a cool root zone is beneficial. In winter, anemones die back to deep,
woody fibrous roots. Anemones need a winter mulch and thorough watering in dry weather. The seed heads are ornamental and
may be dried. Propagation: Propagation is by seed, division and root cuttings. Division is done in early spring but only
when necessary as the plant should not be disturbed once established. Plant seed indoors in the spring. Keep the
temperature between 70 and 75 degrees. Germination takes place in three to four weeks. Seed may also be sown outside in the
fall for spring germination. Cultivars 'Alba' - Single, white flowers. 'Honorine Jobert' - Heavy production of large,
2-inch, white flowers. 'Margarete' - Double, pink flowers. 'Pamina' - Large, semi-double rose-colored flowers. 'Prince
Henry' - Deep, rose-colored, semi-double flowers. 'Queen Charlotte' - Pink flowers borne on sturdy stems. 'Rosenschale' -
Single, pink flowers. 'September Charm' - Single, lilac-pink flowers. 'Whirlwind' - Large, semi-double, white flowers.

SISKIYOU - Anthemis marschalliana (formerly A. biebersteiniana) 12 X 18 Full sun. Elegant and easy for rock garden or
border. Tufts of intensely silver, filigree foliage, lovely year round. Golden-yellow daisies dance on tall wiry stems,
summer. Any soil, dwarfer in poor. Caucasus Mts. z 4-10
http://www.msue.msu.edu/msue/imp/mod03/03900075.html - CHAMOMILE (Roman or English) (Chamamelum nobile: or Anthemis nobilis)
The dried flowers are used to make a mild tea and as an ingredient in cream rinses and shampoos. The plants are attractive
and make a fragrant border plant in a flower bed or rock garden. Chamomile is a low-growing perennial, 3 to 6 inches tall,
with feathery foliage. It produces small, daisylike flowers about 10 inches above the foliage in early summer. Both
foliage and flowers have a delicate applelike scent. Plant this herb in a well-drained soil in full sun.
Chamomile can be grown from seed, but allow 8 to 10 weeks for it to germinate. Otherwise, divide the established plants in
early spring or fall. The flower heads are cut before the petals fall and dried for later use. Keep the plants trimmed back
to promote bushy and full growth. SOURCE: James C. Schmidt Department of Horticulture Michigan State University

plan. They are perennials, but usually grown as an annual. These plants will benefit from deadheading, which will prolong
their flowering period. Seeds should be sown in the flower bed when the soil is warm or you may start them indoors 6-8 weeks
before transplanting time. Do not cover the seeds with soil as they need light for germination.

Surviving, but not thriving. Blooms are not very showy. Bloomed mainly in summer.
1995- There were just a few live shoots in fall. I potted them up 11/22/94 and kept over winter in greenhouse. They did
quite well. I planted them back in area above the rocks, and they seem to be doing fine.

Moved most of it from the rock garden where it was getting too invasive to a larger area in #12.
12/7/95 - spread rampantly this year, almost invasive, but did not flower much. I suspect it needs more sun to flower.
12/31/95 - so far I see little evidence of damage from the 20's temps we've had for the past week.
3/5/96 - subsequent freezes down to teens killed it back, but it has some green under leaves.
3/27/96 - tilled the soil under, there was little sign of life, discarded the remains.

There aren't very many gardens that can't find a spot for a columbine and this cultivated variety is one of the best. Flowers
come in a variety of colors and are large and showy. They nod gracefully in the slightest breeze and will make an enchanting
display. You should plan to raise new plants each season as the hybrid varieties are not long-lived, but they will self-sow
and are also easy to grow from seed. Cut flower stems when they have finished flowering. 'McKana's Giants' is pictured.
