What took my fancy was your mention of a dwarf lilac. I didn't know you could get dwarf ones. I wonder if we can get them here in New Zealand yet. Tree peonies are truly beautiful.

Some how when I click on the email on your site, I can't see it. I don't live very far from you and thought I would send you a picture of my tree peony so you can get an idea of how big (and luscious!) they get in this area. Katie,

I loved it and the herbaceous peonies so much I dug them up from our last house and moved them with us. It is just gorgeous and nothing in my garden compares to it when it is in bloom. I wait for it all year. The foliage is a lovely purpley-green. I will warn you of one thing- can you see your patio from the indoors during winter? Ours looks rather ghastly in winter (full of promise, but ghastly.) It will need room and sunlight, but don't let it dry out. We got ours as a tree root from a White Flower Farm tent sale years ago and I've never regretted it. I think ours is "Yachiyo Tsubaki". Good luck.<br /><br />Liz in Upstate NY Hello Katy- we have a tree peony. I loved it and the herbaceous peonies so much I dug them up from our last house and moved them with us.

Best part is rabbits don't like it! If you are looking for a soft plant wormwood is awesome - its really low though but it gets wide quick - I got some this year and it is growing like nuts!
