We've had Veronicastrum 'Fascination' in our swampy garden in the middle of the nursery for three years and the rabbits haven't bothered it, so you should be good on that account. Glad you enjoy coming in!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660347683311073777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-80646244565883055392013-06-11T21:24:09.125-05:002013-06-11T21:24:09.125-05:00I did have to giggle at your, 'I don't exp...I did have to giggle at your, 'I don't expect Home Depot to know this is not a grass.' It's an absolute pet peeve of mine: all the cordylines and co in the 'grasses' section in almost every nursery around. Strappy leaves alone do not a grass make! That, and all the Proteas and their relatives lumped into the 'native' section. <br />Your 'to be planted' section looks much like mine. Every time I start to make a dent in it I go out and get 'just a few' more plants and so that group of plants is an ever-evolving but never shrinking section.Katiehttp://heartsdesigns.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-72457313836082096862013-06-11T10:52:09.750-05:002013-06-11T10:52:09.750-05:00You can never have too many plants!!!

I have 'Fascination', and it's a gorgeous (and tough) plant...very graceful. I've found that it get fasciated stems quite often (I sometimes wonder if the name 'Fascination' was someone winking at us). I'll have to do a post on it...it always looks so crazy!scottweberpdxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740930947767329183noreply@blogger.com
