This is a family-owned nursery specializing in perennials, shrubs and trees. I was impressed by their inventory and saw some plants that I didn't know existed, such as the red-blooming Cestrum called "Ruby Clusters" pictured at the top.

  5. Musadet, a nice white with tiny red spots around the center is also a must have. It is the most fragrant one in the garden. My Golden Stardust
    was just starting to open and the storm today broke it off. I staked it, so hopefully the remaining blooms will open. Mary

  6. Mary, I had Muscadet in a container for many years but this year it did not reappear. It was always loaded with blooms so it is one that I want again.

  7. I particularly like "Scheherazade", however I know people who'd have trouble pronouncing that after a Saturday night party, ha.

  8. Rob, I have to stop and think before I pronounce the name, drinking or not. :)
