Glad to hear you testify on the viburnums! Those will go on my wish list.

Meant to get to the scanning tonight, but ended up spending hours searching for stuff for a spec I am writing. Wanted to get that done, but still have interior signage to go and just can't face it anymore....will get them done soon.

The only time I tried Salvia uliginosis, I promptly killed it :-( Haven't tried it again as I figured it wanted more sun than it got, but now that you say it likes damp, I bet it got too dry.

If you've only got it in part sun in PNW, it would certainly take it for me...must be the moisture...

Personally, I rather like rompers - at least most of them. They cover ground for me and save me a lot of weeding. Of course, ya' gotta be careful who you put them next to. But, my garden has never been "organized" - I plant combos I like and in a few years, the plants have rearranged things for me and I'm usually so busy doing something else, I just let them and only the strong survive.

This salvia must be a plant you could increase by root cuttings....have you ever done any of those? I'm thinking about trying it with some of my anemones if I can get to it soon.
