Janet's Garden

Always under construction

Here's a little sumthin about Love lies bleeding and how I acquired this magnificent plant:

One morning I was out in my garden weeding when I happened upon a sprouting plant, at first I thought it was a weed but thought it sure is a pretty weed, so I left it alone and planted it along my white picket fence. It grew in leaps and bounds. I was amazed at how fast it grew up! For the longest time I couldn't figure out what it was til I went searching thru a flower book to find it's name. This plant comes back every year with no fail. Usually in mid-August - thru the end of October. Love lies bleeding is the talk of the neighborhood. It intrigues everyone who walks by and I've had people come to my door to ask what it is and how to get it! Pictures don't really show how spectacular it really is.

I did send a "tail" of it to FJCancel (Garden Chat friend), and it grew for her.

If any of you guys want some seed, let me know and I'll send ya!! I've got TONS of tails which will seed and take over in no time, so I've got plenty for all who want them!! Spread the word to all the garden chat friends too who may be interested as I don't have everyone's e-mail addresses.
