Mine is still blooming, and it's about 4', I'd say. Getting chilly at night round these parts. Going to put my garden to bed soon, and as much of it is in pots (plus this is my biggest garden in Washington State, yet, so I'm still getting used to the weather) I'm going to have to figger out what to cut completely down, what to shelter in the garage, and what to bring in the house... and then there's mulching... :] There are now pink cultivars too! I'm still waiting to see one that is bright red. I should think they would go swimmingly with Nasturtium and Astilbe? "Bressingham Spire" do not need to be staked. There are some varieties that reach 6 feet tall. They all require rich soil and plenty of shade to thrive. Moderate shade is best; they can stand quite a lot of sun if watered sufficiently. Some are stunted in full sun but still bloom well, while others will grow to seven feet high in deep shade because they're searching for more light, but expend so much energy seeking the sun they bloom less well. I have mine on the east porch, gets just enough of everything, I'm excited about gathering it's seeds soon, something I've never done before. I've pages about mine indexed he http://www.paghat.com/garden6.html Lovely, as usual! The Stainless Steels sound fabulous! They are witches' flowers. I love them. As do I. I also think certain daturas are rather "witchy." I'm not sure of the type I have, but the blooms are so dark purple, they're almost black with a creamy almost white inner throat. Right now, mine has about 20 spiked seed "balls" on it, can't wait for those either! Reminds me of the "flying ball of death" in Phantasm. Have you and Granny done any more thinking about moving to Idaho? I have a friend who owns property in the north, right -on- the Snake River, it' gorgeous! ~Lilly Beware of silent dogs and still waters. --Portuguese Proverb |
