One of the things I keep saying I'm going to do is make a Dr. Suess garden, and both those plants would work very nicely in such a bed. The hibiscus hasn't done well for me in the past, so I don't bother with them anymore. I think they want more heat and sunlight than my foggy garden has been offering them of late. <em>Right, Jodi - I'm sure the lack of summer heat is an issue for the hibiscus, and I'd think it might be challenging for the celosias and amaranths as well. But I can't feel too sorry for you, knowing what you *can* grow that we here in PA can't! -Nan</em> Love the celosia and amaranthus, Nancy!
