I'm glad I could add to your wishlist! My Hoya carnosa is a family plant as well. It was my father's before I took over. The alyssum and penstemon are both great plants! The alyssum does reseed a little, but only enough to provide a few extra plants to place elsewhere or share with gardening friends. <br /><br />You can certainly cut back your Penstemon cardwellii. It resprouts easily, which I am very grateful for as the deer occasionally prune mine and more frequently trample it and break it's stems. The stems also root where they touch the ground, so if you cut off anything with roots you can replant it elsewhere.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-59112483104381993212014-05-16T15:03:10.116-07:002014-05-16T15:03:10.116-07:00Thanks, you two!

Seeing the Hoya multiflora reminded me that I need to hunt down another - I had one last year but foolishly kept it outside and it roasted. I share your angst over the prospects of keeping your garden alive during the summer months - I hope it won't be as hot up there as it's likely to be down here.
