I wonder if this means my seedlings will be quite different than my original plant???Gardenistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129253261044774675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-65477155282086601662007-07-04T11:25:00.000-07:002007-07-04T11:25:00.000-07:00Hi, in answer to your questions: 'Little Business'...Hi, in answer to your questions: <BR/><BR/>'Little Business' starts the season out looking very red. My plant is a few years old now, and quite a prolific bloomer. As the season progresses, the flowers seem to go more towards a very reddish dark pink.<BR/><BR/>I have always favoured pinks and purples in the garden (with purple, the darker the better). However, I'm not that great at sticking to a fixed colour scheme, since I like to mix things up a bit and get a "mosaic" look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-51180769279486213272007-07-04T09:07:00.000-07:002007-07-04T09:07:00.000-07:00Yeah, too much of anything can be overwhelming.

I'm all for doing that (we have almost done that), but not if all the plants are goatsbeard!<BR/><BR/>I love your 'Black Beauty' (I'm glad you had success with it). It looks similar to 'Hokus Pokus'.Philosophical Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158346138596472638noreply@blogger.com
