| Mole_TX - z8 DFW | Mine have not flowered yet, but I grew them from seed last summer. I think I would be happy even if they never flowered. The fern-like foliage is gorgeous all by itself! | Ratings| overall | 10 | | how easy | 10 | | flower | n/a | | foliage | 10 | | propagate | 10 | | fragrance | n/a |

| lady_fern - z6 IN |  Flowering in July | There are some really neat colors available now with the different cultivars, but as far as I know, all are still relatively aggressive plants. I like the ferny foliage and the flat-topped flower clusters, but I have to work to keep them from taking over the surrounding plants and the flowers want to flop over. | Ratings| overall | 8 | | how easy | 10 | | flower | 8 | | foliage | 8 | | propagate | 10 | | fragrance | 2 |

| rockysox - 9A FL | I would grow this just for the foliage, it is so lovely and lacy-looking. To keep it from spreading I cut the bottom out of a very large nursery pot (the kind big trees come in) and sink it in the ground with just a few inches above. It contains the plant very well, as long as you deadhead so you don't get seeds growing. | Ratings| overall | 10 | | how easy | 10 | | flower | 10 | | foliage | 10 | | propagate | 10 | | fragrance | 6 |

| After it flowers, I cut back the flower stalk. It survives our intense summers quite well. | Ratings| overall | 9 | | how easy | 10 | | flower | 8 | | foliage | 10 | | propagate | n/a | | fragrance | n/a |

| GracieLives - z4 WI/MN | This has been an easy plant for me to grow - almost too easy. I'd rank this plant (overall) higher than an "8" if it didn't spread so much in my garden. If you have the space, this is a wonderful plant to add to a wildflower garden. | Ratings| overall | 8 | | how easy | 10 | | flower | 9 | | foliage | 9 | | propagate | 10 | | fragrance | 7 |
