Have another nursery I need to visit to see if they have something I would like there. I wonder if your Cotinus dies back each year to almost the root up in your zone. They are such pretty things also.<br />Cher<a href="http://sunraygardening.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Sunray Gardens</a><br />Sunray Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691531921190526219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-15813915231024642712013-06-19T19:06:20.554-04:002013-06-19T19:06:20.554-04:00Hi Earlene, One of my smokebushes is all leafed o...Hi Earlene, One of my smokebushes is all leafed out. The one I replaced is probably nearly dead. But it could still make a comeback. I am hoping this Ninebark goes fast as I want it at least three times as tall as it is now!Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-74206639390960145442013-06-19T19:04:05.626-04:002013-06-19T19:04:05.626-04:00Thanks, Scott.

I live in the country and have a well, so I don't pay anything for water. Of course, we have to be very protective of the well water, so we don't water the grass. I hate when it dies out during droughts!!Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-69635393121674216282013-06-19T19:01:25.985-04:002013-06-19T19:01:25.985-04:00Lupines do not do all that great in my garden.

Then a few weeks later it looks good for a short time, then blah again.......................same old cycle every year no matter how I try to prevent it. :)Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-3620736761871804782013-06-19T18:59:09.047-04:002013-06-19T18:59:09.047-04:00Thanks, Barb.Thanks, Barb.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-35957936286360011302013-06-19T18:58:44.652-04:002013-06-19T18:58:44.652-04:00Hi Vicki,
