The Tatarian Aster and Joe Pye Weed are going crazy here. Having lived in suburban Boston for many years, this is when I have zone envy….but it quickly disappears in January!

On the Kniphofias – are those non-red varieties for longer bloom, or do they just bloom differently up there? Here, they are over by late May or mid-June.

Great to see what others can do well!

Sequim Rare Plants is your online source. Otherwise, pay the VOT to import Cotswold Garden's pokers. I have 'Ice Queen' which I prefer for the green to yellow/white category.

I'm growing 'Cool Knip'. I'm out for this year, but will have more for spring if you're still looking….
Best,
Ed Bowen

Also very fond of asters – New England Aster, but also Aromatic Aster and Short's Aster. Short's does well in shade and Aromatic in sun.kthruct
