At least one nursery raves over that species over the more common S. ambigua, which is the only one I've grown. Keep us up to date as the plants the pot fill in. It should be a nice combination.lostlandscape (James)http://soenyun.com/Blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-78418406438720293062009-07-06T09:06:50.123-07:002009-07-06T09:06:50.123-07:00The mallow's so dramatic it already looks nice...The mallow's so dramatic it already looks nice, even though everything else is still a baby.

Although I think it is difficult to over water a plant in a terra cotta container, when there is a lot more dirt than roots, the soil tends to stay moist much longer and can add to root rot. Just watch how wet it is a few inches below the surface before watering!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15126794179121146839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-359516836416013252009-07-05T10:43:47.869-07:002009-07-05T10:43:47.869-07:00That looks great!

I have monkeyflower, penstemon, and a few other things, and they seem to not mind the water. Pots dry out so quickly, so I'd expect your water regimen will be fine.Town Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777461911856383480noreply@blogger.com
