Right now, I'm in the process of "redesigning" my gardens. I just acquired a whole bunch of new perennials from my friend and am wondering where and how I am going to use them. I usually have a color scheme worked out, but am always changing something in it each year. My "new" plants go into the veggie garden for the winter here in zone 4--time to rest under the leaves and eventually snow until I decide where they go. I think that this book would be just the "ticket" for me.

Yes; jacobina justica carnea. When I worked in retail at a nursery and in the production area, we sold this as a "Temperennial", meaning it would be hardy from zone 6 on. Some customers were able to keep it over in a heated area, as this is a zone 4 area and gets pretty cold in the winter.
