Well worth it!<br /><br />Carolyn- The tulips on the Hill garden are new this year, so we will see. The 'Apricot Beauty' triumph tulips I planted here before only lasted one year. They were really pretty, but not worth replanting in my mind when I have so many others to try out. Parrots, single lates and Darwins seem to return in our clime. <br /><br />VW- My best advise for filling out your phlox is do not be afraid to pull it to pieces! They regenerate very quickly in a sunny spot. Since yours are newly planted, I would not mess with the main root clump. In the fall, just pull off large pieces and tuck them in the dirt. They will root. Be sure to keep them hydrated through any remaining hot weather & they will flower that spring. I even divided some on New Years day this year and they are flowering right now!Wife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266054126005966461.post-74301456238509582282011-05-16T12:51:19.425-04:002011-05-16T12:51:19.425-04:00These scenes are amazing - so much color going on!...These scenes are amazing - so much color going on! Of course I'm especially pleased to see how nice your lavender creeping phlox looks, since I planted 16 of them in my front yard last year and the year before. They're starting to fill in, but not as nicely as yours (patience, patience). I love the tulip combos as well.
