I absolutely LOVE 'Homestead Purple' Verbena...but it is very persnickety for me...some years it overwinters beautifully and is flowering as early as February...other years it dies out completely. I love it too much to be without it, however, so I always replace it if it dies :-)scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749996258947137504.post-92178386256340738162013-05-17T05:03:04.005-05:002013-05-17T05:03:04.005-05:00Gorgeous flowers!

I keep thinking we should do something about it, and then I see all the bees enjoying its blooms, so it will definitely be staying, though I must admit I like the red clover better. Just got back from a plant shopping expedition, and now I remember one of the plants I forgot--the Homestead Verbena!<br /><br />Happy Bloom Day!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749996258947137504.post-37471588471282288802013-05-16T09:12:53.630-05:002013-05-16T09:12:53.630-05:00I'm thankful that I have room to let clover gr...I'm thankful that I have room to let clover grow - it is one of the prettier invasive weeds! We do mow it down after the blooms fade, and continue to mow it all Summer and into Autumn.<br />I'm sure that if we lived close to each other, we would be swapping plants all the time!<br />Have a beautiful day!<br />LeaLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201714466868118083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749996258947137504.post-44443159964278630302013-05-16T00:53:05.181-05:002013-05-16T00:53:05.181-05:00So many beautiful blooms!

I try to pull them up when they are small so the roots come out easy but sometimes there are plants that manage to hide under other plants. I have never found a four-leaf clover though :-)<br /><br />You clematis is really pretty, I haven't got a blue one, maybe I should get another one - only got 3 so far!<br />Happy GBBD!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749996258947137504.post-44785767864822032082013-05-15T16:11:59.517-05:002013-05-15T16:11:59.517-05:00Happy GBBD to you.
