New Perennial Purchases

Purchased at Coleman's Market yesterday:

Sempervivum archnoideum or Hens and Chicks cobweb.  These are ground cover and are great for rock gardens.  I have no idea when they will bloom.  We planted them on the south side of the water fall hill.

Lupinus polyphyllus Gallery white; common name Lupine.  these will grow to 20" and have big white blossoms.  We planted these in between the deep purple iris and the rose bush.

Delphinium White Swan;  18" tall with full white blossoms.  They have fern like foliage.   We planted these just west of the iris in the perennial garden.

 Scabiosa japonica alpine "rita rose";  8" tall with pink pin cushion flowers.  We planted these west of the new delphiniums.

Dianthus carnation grenadin pink; grenadin is a whole variety of dianthus.  20" tall with pink flowers.   We planted these around the waterfall on the north side of the rose bush.

Rudbekia hirta, Indian Summer--three plants; two to go in front one on the south.  I want something to bloom in late summer, but I may have chosen poorly as these are suppose to have huge blossoms.
