Actually, 'Nothowlee' is the real cultivar name of Blackbird, which is a trade name. The lower leaves are greener than the tops, but I don't mind. It's a dark, purplish olive-green that pairs wonderfully with the carex and the Erica arborea 'Estrella Gold' in all its stages. I do hope it doesn't go completely green on me, though.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-3348913365168309232015-06-11T15:57:12.219-07:002015-06-11T15:57:12.219-07:00I don't believe anyone when they say they will...I don't believe anyone when they say they will stop buying plants...it just ain't gonna happen. That is a stunning Euphorbia, even darker than Blackbird. Let us know if it retains that color over time.

I even like the flower stalks. I think they're architecturally interesting and the bees loved them. But I got sick of cleaning up mushy leaves after winter.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-69468580618197416982015-06-11T11:38:22.275-07:002015-06-11T11:38:22.275-07:00As long as it doesn't seed as much as Carex co...As long as it doesn't seed as much as Carex comans, though I've learned to appreciate and take advantage of the abundance.

It's a huge job dragging 200 feet of hose all over the yard. It's a little easier for me to keep things in pots in a relatively shady spot where I can water everything in one place.

If you go to nurseries, Bazaars,...Give it up, Evan. If you go to nurseries, Bazaars, or plant exchanges you WILL come home with plants. Although, if you must haul water all over the yard maybe you'll run out of time to go shopping? Nah. That wouldn't work either. Embrace it, is what I say. <br />Love the airy feel of Artimisa.

It will self-sow too (not aggressively), so in the next few years you'll have more to move around. I keep making the same resolution too, and failing.

Because I have more time in the summer and less in the spring and fall, I boldly plant through the summer and am able to wander around with the hose and spot water the newbies. Some things do stay in pots through the summer but they really don't like it all that much so they get potted up at some point. You got some great new plants. Can't wait to see your post about the bizarre, I mean Bazaar! Wish I were going!outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.com
