K...Skrophoender. Look for "Fern" online?<br /><br />Klaus - that's a nice description of the aster, I don't know it at all - thank you. And, no, on the zaluzianskya, whose acquaintance I only made early this year in Lesotho!<br /><br />webb, I think you're good with zone 7. The Brooklyn Botanical Garden is officially Zone 7, you know, and they have strawberries planted in the new potager. My plants have put out even more runners in the last week and I feel like I'm being taken over, so they might be a good idea for groundcover (free chipmunk food?), BUT, would need enough water.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-28645910293831795082010-09-26T08:36:24.024-04:002010-09-26T08:36:24.024-04:00From the success you have had with these strawberr...From the success you have had with these strawberries in a pot, I am thinking ground cover? Got an opinion about that in zone 7? thanks.webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-52291514031472677442010-09-23T19:00:38.741-04:002010-09-23T19:00:38.741-04:00Nice piece about fall flowers on Shelterpop. The ...Nice piece about fall flowers on Shelterpop. The comments, though! Another of the many asters you might enjoy is Aster caroliniana. It's been renamed, but I discovered it as an aster, which is certainly what it looks like. It blooms really late - like mid-Oct into November -- and you can grow it as a climber or a lanky ground cover-y thing that weaves in and through other plants. Also, it has a sweet scent. The article in Fine Gardening in fall 06 that introduced it to me described the scent as freshly baked pound cake. I don't think I'd be that specific, but it was a treat, especially at that time of year. Despite conflicting zone info, it survived the winters in Carroll Gardens. I'm itching to have it again, but have to figure out where it could go. The current garden isn't as conducive to climbers. Speaking of fragrance, have you had any experience with zaluzianskya in this climate? That smells like pound cake to me, but I can't get it to survive the summer (in pots).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002590660153088126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-46913572459572482592010-09-23T09:04:27.051-04:002010-09-23T09:04:27.051-04:00Yee Haaaaaaa - I'm back on line.
