I'm growing the sweet peas up through one of my shrub roses, which probably gives them a little protection, but admittedly I haven't seen a single raccoon since we moved out here...Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-31375628521786409452016-04-05T22:24:01.138-07:002016-04-05T22:24:01.138-07:00So far the Cerinthe is working very well as a cut ...So far the Cerinthe is working very well as a cut flower!

I expect mine to give out once the weather turns really hot; no telling just how soon now... I've been quite happy with Old Spice, but I do intend to try a blue variety next time too. And yes, doesn't the Cerinthe make a great combination with them?

I meticulously put them in a shady spot, as I learned last summer that so many plants do better in shade here. But not winter/spring annuals that don't have to last through summer! Lesson learned, I hope ;-) In the meantime I'm enjoying all I can get of them and will certainly hope to add more to vases!Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-58891723676172830102016-04-05T10:29:01.964-07:002016-04-05T10:29:01.964-07:00What a Monday!

The raccoons tore through 2 batches of seedlings here so I gave up on seeds and planted a few plugs late in the season, only to have the critters mess with those too. I have a few left but no flowers.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-4909119489772997102016-04-05T08:57:32.663-07:002016-04-05T08:57:32.663-07:00So glad your doggie is on the mend!

More recently I planted some Old Spice outdoors, so I hope they will do well, I haven't tried them for quite a long time. the Cerinthe is marvelous with them too, and the salvia.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-20170437544959451702016-04-05T00:02:58.457-07:002016-04-05T00:02:58.457-07:00How lovely to be able to add sweet peas tou your b...How lovely to be able to add sweet peas tou your beautiful roses - is this when you would expect them to start appearing?
