Any lack of accurate information and processes creates costly bottlenecks in the flow of goods and materials." -- Bruce Richmond, Global head, Andersen Consulting. INTRODUCTION y The US-based Wal-Mart ranked first in the global Fortune 500 list in the financial year 2001-02 earning revenues of $219.81 billion (Refer Table I). Wal-Mart was the largest retailing company in op the world. The company was much bigger than its competitors in the US – Sears Roebuck, K- Mart, JC Penney and Nordstrom combined (Refer Exhibit I). In 2002, Wal-Mart operated more than 3,500 discount stores, Sam's Clubs and Supercenters in the US and more than 1,170 stores in all major countries across the world. The company also sold products on the Internet through its tC website, walmart.com.

The company's founder, Sam Walton (Walton) had always focused on improving sales, constantly reducing costs, adopting efficient distribution and logistics management systems and using innovative information technology (IT) tools. According to analysts, Wal-Mart was able to achieve a leadership status ((Refer Exhibit II)) in the retail industry because of its efficient supply chain management practices. Captain Vernon L. Beatty, aide-de-camp to the commander, Defense Supply Center, Columbus, Ohio said, "Supply chain management is moving the right items to the right customer at the right time by the most efficient means. No one does that better than Wal-Mart." This case was written by P.

Website: www.icmrindia.org Wal-Mart's Supply Chain Management Practices BACKGROUND NOTE Walton was born in 1918 at Kingfisher, Oklahoma, US. After graduating from the University of Missouri in 1940, Walton worked for the famous retailer, J C Penney. In his first job, Walton had displayed the qualities of a good salesman. He realized the importance of building loyalty among customers as well as employees. In the mid 1940s, Walton gave up his job and decided to set up his own retail store. He purchased a store franchise from Ben Franklin in Newport, Arkansas. It was here that he learnt his first lessons in retailing – offering significant discounts on product prices to expand volumes and increase overall profits. The business was successful and Walton soon acquired a second store within three years. Walton not only looked for opportunities to open stores in other small towns but also explored the possibility of introducing innovative practices such as self-service. As the need for people to manage his stores increased, Walton tried to attract talented and experienced people from other stores. By 1969, Walton had established 18 Wal-Mart stores, reporting an annual sale of $44 million. In mid 1970s, Wal-Mart acquired 16 Mohr-Value stores in Michigan and Illinois. By the y late 1970s, the retail chain had established a pharmacy, an auto service center, and several jewellery divisions. op In the 1980s, Wal-Mart continued to grow rapidly due to the huge customer demand in small towns, where most of its stores were located. Commenting on the growth of Wal-Mart, Walton said: "When we arrived in these small towns offering low prices every day, customer satisfaction guaranteed, and hours that were realistic for the way people wanted to shop, we passed right by tC that old variety store competition, with its 45 percent mark ups, limited selection and limited hours." Wal-Mart stores were located at a convenient place in a big warehouse-type building and targeted customers who bought merchandise in bulk. Customers could buy goods at wholesale prices by becoming members and paying a nominal membership fee. By 1984, there were 640 Wal-Mart stores in the US, generating sales of about $4.5 bn and accruing profit of over $200 mn. No Wal-Mart suffered a setback in 1992, when Walton died after a prolonged illness. But it continued its impressive growth in the 1990s, focusing more on establishing its stores overseas. In 1992, Wal-Mart expanded its operations in Mexico by entering into a joint venture with Cifra. Two years later, the company acquired 122 Woolco stores from Woolworth, Canada. By 1997, Wal-Mart had become the largest volume discount retailer in Canada and Mexico. In 1997, Wal-Mart acquired Do the 21-store German hypermarket chain, Wertkauf. Other international expansion efforts included the purchase of Brazilian retailer Lojas Americans' 40 percent interest in their joint venture, and the acquisition of four stores and additional sites in South Korea from Korea Makro. In January 1999, Wal-Mart expanded its German operations by buying 74 stores of the hypermarket chain, Interspar. The stores were acquired from Spar Handels AG, which owned multiple retail formats and wholesale operations throughout Germany. By 2002, Wal-Mart had emerged as the largest company in the world in terms of revenues. Analysts felt that Wal-Mart had come a long way since 1979, when the company generated annual revenues of more than a billion dollar for the first time. By 1993, the company was doing a billion dollar business in a week and by 2001, it was crossing the billion dollar mark in every 1.5 days. Analysts attributed this phenomenal growth to Wal-Mart's continued focus on customer needs and reducing costs through efficient supply chain management practices. The company was able to offer a vast range of products at the lowest costs in the shortest possible time. This was possible mainly due to two factors – Wal-Mart's highly automated distribution centers, which significantly reduced shipping costs and time, and its computerized inventory system, which speeded up the checking out time and recording of transactions. 3 Wal-Mart's Supply Chain Management Practices MANAGING THE SUPPLY CHAIN PROCUREMENT AND DISTRIBUTION Wal-Mart always emphasized the need to reduce its purchasing costs and offer the best price to its customers. The company procured goods directly from manufacturers, bypassing all intermediaries. Wal-Mart was a tough negotiator on prices and finalized a purchase deal only when it was fully confident that the products being bought were not available elsewhere at a lower price. According to Claude Harris, one of the earliest employees, "Every buyer has to be tough. That is the job. I always told the buyers: 'You are negotiating for your customer. And your customer deserves the best prices that you can get. Don't ever feel sorry for a vendor. He always knows what he can sell, and we want his bottom price. 'We would tell the vendors,' Don't leave in any room for a kickback because we don't do it here. And we don't want your advertising program or delivery program. Our truck will pick it up at your warehouse. Now what is your best price?" Wal-Mart spent a significant amount of time meeting vendors and understanding their cost y structure. By making the process transparent, the retailer could be certain that the manufacturers were doing their best to cut down costs. Once satisfied, Wal-Mart believed in establishing a long- op term relationship with the vendor. In its attempt to drive hard bargains, Wal-Mart did not even spare big manufacturers like Procter & Gamble (P&G). However, the company, generally, preferred local and regional vendors and suppliers. In 1998, Wal-Mart had over 40 distribution centers located at different geographical locations in tC the US. Over 80,000 items were stocked in these centers. Wal-Mart's own warehouses directly supplied 85 percent of the inventory, as compared to 50-65 percent for competitors. According to rough estimates, Wal-Mart was able to provide replenishments within two days (on an average) against at least five days for competitors. Shipping costs for Wal-Mart worked out to be roughly 3 percent as against 5 percent for competitors. No Each distribution center was divided into different sections on the basis of the quantity of goods received and was managed the same way for both cases and palletized goods. The inventory turnover rate was very high, about once every two weeks for most of the items. Goods meant for distribution within the US usually arrived in pallets, while imported goods arrived in re-usable boxes or cases. In some cases, suppliers delivered goods such as automotive and drug products Do directly to the stores. About 85% of the goods which were available at the stores passed through the distribution centers. The distribution centers ensured a steady and consistent flow of products to support the supply function. As Wal-Mart used sophisticated barcode technology and hand-held computer systems, managing the center became easier and more economical. Every employee had an access to real- time information regarding the inventory levels of all the products in the center. They had to just make two scans – one to identify the pallet, and the other to identify the location from where the stock had to be picked up. Different barcodes were used to label different products, shelves and bins in a center. The hand-held computer guided an employee with regard to the location of a particular product from a particular bin or shelf in the center. When the computer verified the bin and picked up a product, the employee confirmed whether it was the right product or not. The quantity of the product required from the center was entered into the hand-held computer by the employee and then the computer updated the information on the main server. The hand-held computer also enabled the packaging department to get accurate information about the products to be packed. It displayed all information about the storage, packaging and shipping of a particular product thus, saving time on unnecessary paperwork. It also enabled the center 4 Wal-Mart's Supply Chain Management Practices supervisors to monitor their employees closely enabling them to give directions and even guide them even on the move. This enabled the company to satisfy customer needs quickly and improve the level of efficiency of the distribution center management operations. Each distribution center had facilities for maintaining personal hygiene such as shower bath and fitness centers. It also had provision for food, sleep and personal business. The distribution center could also be used for meetings and paperwork. The truck drivers of Wal-Mart sometimes availed these facilities. LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT An important feature of Wal-Mart's logistics infrastructure was its fast and responsive transportation system. The distribution centers were serviced by more than 3,500 company owned trucks. These dedicated truck fleets allowed the company to ship goods from the distribution centers to the stores within two days and replenish the store shelves twice a week. The truck fleet was the visible link between the stores and distribution centers. Wal-Mart believed that it needed y drivers who were committed and dedicated to customer service. The company hired only experienced drivers who had driven more than 300,000 accident-free miles, with no major traffic op violation. Wal-Mart truck drivers generally moved the merchandise-loaded trailers from Wal-Mart distribution centers to the retail stores serviced by each distribution center. These retail stores were considered as customers by the distribution centers. The drivers had to report their hours of service tC to a coordinator daily. The coordinator scheduled all dispatches depending on the available driving time and the estimated time for travel between the distribution centers and the retail stores. The coordinator informed the driver of his dispatches, either on the driver's arrival at the distribution center or on his return to the distribution center from the retail store. The driver was usually expected to take a loaded truck trailer from the distribution center to the retail store and return No back with an empty trailer. He had to dispatch a loaded truck trailer at the retail store and spend the night there. A driver had to bring the trailer at the dock of a store only at its scheduled unloading time, no matter when he arrived at the store. The drivers delivered the trailers in the afternoon and evening hours and they would be unloaded at the store at nights. There was a gap of two hours between unloading of each trailer. For instance, if a store received three trailers, the first one would be unloaded at midnight (12 AM), the second one would be unloaded at 2 AM and the third Do one at 4 AM. Although, the trailers were left unattended, they were secured by the drivers, until the store personnel took charge of them at night. Wal-Mart received more trailers than they had docks, due to their large volume of business. Wal-Mart maintained a strict vigil over its drivers by keeping a record of their activities through the "Private Fleet Driver Handbook" (Refer Exhibit III). The purpose of the book was to educate the drivers with regard to the code of conduct. It also included the terms and conditions regarding the safe exchange of trailers with the store personnel and the safety of Wal-Mart's property. This book also contained a list of other activities, the non-compliance of which would result in the termination of the driver. To make its distribution process more efficient, Wal-Mart also made use of a logistics technique known as 'cross-docking.' In this system, the finished goods were directly picked up from the manufacturing plant of a supplier, sorted out and then directly supplied to the customers. The system reduced the handling and storage of finished goods, virtually eliminating the role of the distribution centers and stores. There were five types of cross-docking (Refer Exhibit IV). 5 Wal-Mart's Supply Chain Management Practices In cross docking, requisitions received for different goods from a store were converted into purchase or procurement orders. These purchase orders were then forwarded to the manufacturers who conveyed their ability or inability to supply the goods within a particular period of time. In cases where the manufacturer agreed to supply the required goods within the specified time, the goods were directly forwarded to a place called the staging area. The goods were packed here according to the orders received from different stores and then directly sent to the respective customers. To gain maximum out of cross-docking, Wal-Mart had to make fundamental changes in its approach to managerial control. Traditionally, decisions about merchandising, pricing and promotions had been highly centralized and were generally taken at the corporate level. The cross- docking system, however, changed this practice. The system shifted the focus from "supply chain" to the "demand chain," which meant that instead of the retailer 'pushing' products into the system; customers could 'pull' products, when and where they needed. This approach placed a premium on frequent, informal cooperation among stores, distribution centers and suppliers with far less centralized control than earlier. y INVENTORY MANAGEMENT op Wal-Mart had developed an ability to cater to the individual needs of its stores. Stores could choose from a number of delivery plans. For instance, there was an accelerated delivery system by which stores located within a certain distance of a geographical center could receive replenishment within a day. tC Wal-Mart invested heavily in IT and communications systems to effectively track sales and merchandise inventories in stores across the country. With the rapid expansion of Wal-Mart stores in the US, it was essential to have a good communication system. Hence, Wal-Mart set up its own satellite communication system in 1983. Explaining the benefits of the system Walton said, "I can No walk in the satellite room, where our technicians sit in front of the computer screens talking on the phone to any stores that might be having a problem with the system, and just looking over their shoulders for a minute or two will tell me a lot about how a particular day is going. On the screen, I can see the total of the day's bank credit sales adding up as they occur. If we have something really important or urgent to communicate to the stores and distribution centers, I, or any other Wal-Mart executive can walk back to our TV studio and get on that satellite transmission and get it Do right out there. I can also go every Saturday morning around three, look over these printouts and know precisely what kind of work we have had." Wal-Mart was able to reduce unproductive inventory by allowing stores to manage their own stocks, reducing pack sizes across many product categories, and timely price markdowns. Instead of cutting inventory across the board, Wal-Mart made full use of its IT capabilities to make more inventories available in the case of items that customers wanted most, while reducing the overall inventory levels. Wal-Mart also networked its suppliers through computers. The company entered into collaboration with P&G for maintaining the inventory in its stores and built an automated re- ordering system, which linked all computers between P&G and its stores and other distribution centers. The computer system at Wal-Mart stores identified an item which was low in stock and sent a signal to P&G. The system then sent a re-supply order to the nearest P&G factory through a satellite communication system. P&G then delivered the item either to the Wal-Mart distribution center or directly to the concerned stores. This collaboration between Wal-Mart and P&G was a win-win proposition for both because Wal-Mart could monitor its stock levels in the stores constantly and also identify the items that were moving fast. P&G could also lower its costs and pass on some of the savings to Wal-Mart due to better coordination. 6 Wal-Mart's Supply Chain Management Practices Employees at the stores had the 'Magic Wand,' a hand-held computer which was linked to in-store terminals through a radio frequency network. These helped them to keep track of the inventory in stores, deliveries and backup merchandise in stock at the distribution centers. The order management and store replenishment of goods were entirely executed with the help of computers through the Point-of-Sales (POS) system. Through this system, it was possible to monitor and track the sales and merchandise stock levels on the store shelves. Wal-Mart also made use of the sophisticated algorithm system which enabled it to forecast the exact quantities of each item to be delivered, based on the inventories in each store. Since the data was accurate, even bulk items could be broken and supplied to the stores. Wal-Mart also used a centralized inventory data system using which the personnel at the stores could find out the level of inventories and the location of each product at any given time. It also showed whether a product was being loaded in the distribution center or was in transit on a truck. Once the goods were unloaded at the store, the store was furnished with full stocks of inventories of a particular item and the inventory data system was immediately updated. Wal-Mart also made use of bar coding and radio frequency technology to manage its inventories. Using bar codes and fixed optical readers, the goods could be directed to the appropriate dock, from where they were loaded on to the trucks for shipment. Bar coding devices enabled efficient y picking, receiving and proper inventory control of the appropriate goods. It also enabled easy order packing and physical counting of the inventories. op In 1991, Wal-Mart had invested approximately $4 billion to build a retail link system. More than 10,000 Wal-Mart retail suppliers used the retail link system to monitor the sales of their goods at stores and replenish inventories. The details of daily transactions, which approximately amounted tC to more than 10 million per day, were processed through this integrated system and were furnished to every Wal-Mart store by 4 a.m., the next day. In October 2001, Wal-Mart tied-up with Atlas Commerce for upgrading the system through the Internet enabled technologies. Wal-Mart owned the largest and most sophisticated computer system in the private sector. The company used Massively Parallel Processor (MPP) computer system to track the movement of No goods and stock levels. All information related to sales and inventories was passed on through an advanced satellite communication system. To provide back-up in case of a major breakdown or service interruption, the company had an extensive contingency plan. By making effective use of computers in all its company's operations, Wal-Mart was successful in providing uninterrupted service to its customers, suppliers, stockholders and trading partners. Do THE BENEFITS REAPED Wal-Mart strongly believed and constantly emphasized on strengthening its relationships with its customers, suppliers and employees. The company was very vigilant and sensed the smallest of changes in store layouts and merchandising techniques to improve performance and value for customers. The company made efforts to capitalize on every cost saving opportunity. The savings on cost were always passed on to the consumers, thereby adding value at every stage and process. Wal-Mart also enjoyed the benefits of low transportation costs since it had its own transportation system which assisted Wal-Mart in delivering the goods to different stores within (or sometimes less than) 48 hours. Transportation costs for Wal-Mart were estimated at approximately 3% of the total costs as compared to 5% for their competitors. Having its own transportation system enabled Wal-Mart to replenish the shelves four times faster than its competitors. Wal-Mart priced its goods economically and the prices varied from day to day. The company enjoyed good bargaining power as it purchased huge quantities. This enabled it to price its products competitively and pass on the benefits to the consumers. The company offered higher discounts than any other retailer and they earned good revenues in the form of higher volumes. Low pricing ensured that the sales volumes were high and consistent. 7 Wal-Mart's Supply Chain Management Practices The benefits of an efficient supply chain management system included reduction in lead time,1 faster inventory turnover, accurate forecasting of inventory levels, increased warehouse space, reduction in safety stock and better working capital utilization. It also helped reduce the dependency on the distribution center management personnel resulting in minimization of training costs and errors. The stock-out of goods and the subsequent loss arising out of it was completely eliminated. Wal-Mart's supply chain management practices resulted in increased efficiency in operations and better customer service. It eliminated old stocks and maintained quality of goods. Bar coding and radio frequency technologies enabled accurate distribution of goods. Cross-docking also helped Wal-Mart to reduce inventory storage costs. It also helped to cut down the labor and other handling costs involved in the loading and unloading of goods. QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION: 1.

According to the Wal-Mart's Private Fleet Driver Handbook, a driver could be terminated from his job if he refused to deliver an assignment given to him. However, if a driver refused to deliver the assignment due to fatigue or insufficient rest, the refusal was not considered as a violation. This book included other rules, the violation of which would result in immediate termination of the driver. This book was maintained by Wal-Mart to create awareness about the role, duties and responsibilities of a driver towards the company, society and profession in various situations. The expected actions of each driver and the 'code of behavior' was clearly detailed in this handbook and the driver had to strictly adhere to these rules and regulations. However, drivers were not terminated simply because they violated the rules and terms mentioned in the handbook. The facts, circumstances, situations and other collaborative evidence were taken into account and thoroughly assessed to decide about the termination. When a driver violated a rule or 'code of behavior', he was not terminated immediately, but was first y taught the correct code of behavior by Wal-Mart. op For example, though the handbook mentioned that drivers had to be very polite and kind while dealing with the store personnel and others, a driver was not terminated for being rude. Instead, he was given a warning and asked to behave properly. He was terminated only when he showed no improvement. The drivers were also required to secure the truck trailers at the time of tC delivering them to the stores. The inability or failure to do so was not considered as a breach of contract that would result in immediate termination. However, a driver was once terminated from his job (in the year 2000) by Wal-Mart's then Private Fleet Manager, Mr. Paul Darwin, (who took charge in 1998) for leaving a trailer unsecured at one of the stores near a highway. No Moreover, according to the rules mentioned in the handbook, the drivers should exchange the truck trailers in a totally 'safe and responsible' manner, so that neither the trailers are damaged during exchange or in transit, nor does it result in any loss to other people in the form of injury, etc. When a driver leaves an unloaded trailer in front of the Wal-Mart store for the store personnel to pick it up, he should ensure that the trailer is properly safeguarded and secured against a closed dock in the store. This would ensure that no other person would gain access to Do the unloaded trailers. For Wal-Mart, an avoidable accident was a more severe offense than refusing to deliver an assignment for dispatch. Mr. Paul Darwin, the then Private Fleet Manager of Wal-Mart, once dismissed a driver for being involved in an accident that could have been avoided or prevented. However, the driver's dismissal was later withdrawn.

This method of cross docking enabled the company to directly ship the goods needed by the retail customers, without storing them in the warehouse bins or shelves. Opportunistic cross docking could also be used when the warehouse management software, installed by the retailer, alerted him that a particular product was ready for moving and could be moved immediately. Flow-through Cross docking In this type of cross docking, there was a constant inflow and outflow of goods from the distribution center. This type of cross docking was mostly suitable for perishable goods, which had a very short time span, or goods that were difficult to be stored in the warehouses. This cross docking system was mostly followed by the supermarkets and other retail discount stores, especially for perishable items. y Distributor Cross docking In this type of cross docking, the manufacturer delivered the goods directly to the retailer. No op intermediaries were involved in this process. This enabled the retailer to save a major portion of the costs in the form of storage. As the retailer did not need to maintain a distribution center for storing various kinds of goods, he helped him save warehouse costs. The lead time for the delivery of goods from the manufacturer to the consumer was also drastically reduced. However, this method had some disadvantages too. The transportation costs for both the manufacturer and the retailer tended to tC increase over a period of time, when the goods were required to be transported to different locations several times. Moreover, the transportation system had to be very fast. Otherwise, the very purpose of cross docking was lost. The transportation system should also be highly responsive and take the responsibility for the delays in delivery of the goods. The retailer was at a greater risk. He lost the advantages of sharing the risks with the manufacturer. This type of cross docking was suitable only for those retailers who had a large distribution network and could be used in situations when goods No had to be delivered in a short span of time. Manufacturing Cross docking In Manufacturing cross docking, these cross docking facilities served the factories and acted as temporary and "mini warehouses." Whenever a manufacturing company required some parts or materials for manufacturing a particular product, it was delivered by the supplier in small lots within a Do very short span of time, just when it was needed. This helped reduce the transportation and warehouse costs substantially. Pre-Allocated Cross Docking Pre-allocated cross docking is very much like the usual cross-docking, except that in this type of cross docking, the goods are already packed and labeled by the manufacturer and it is ready for shipment to the distribution center from where it is sent to the store. The goods can be delivered by the distribution center directly to the store without opening the pack of the manufacturer and re-packing the goods. The store can then deliver the goods directly to the consumer without any further re- packing. Goods received by the distribution center or the store are directly sent into the outbound shipping truck, to be delivered to the consumer, without altering the package of the good. Cross docking requires very close co-ordination and co-operation of the manufacturers, warehouse personnel and the stores personnel. Goods can be easily and quickly delivered only when accurate information is available readily. The information can be managed with the help of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and other general sales information.

Stealth chicken?
topsiebeezelbub(z7 Al)September 17, 2012
I want to raise a couple of chickens for humane eggs. I have a nasty neighbor. What breed looks the LEAST like a chicken, is a good egg layer, is friendly and rather quiet? I want to tell her they are pet birds...NOT chickens. My grandma had chickens and I loved them as a child, so I am not totally clueless about keeping them.

Longest blooming perennials
Suppose you want to make sure that there's always flowers blooming somewhere in your yard with limited space, you can plant at least a few "anchor" perennials that are long blooming.
I was looking through and notice the long blooming plants were:
Corydalis Lutea (yellow Corydalis) - blooms for 20+ weeks from May to October.
Dicentra Luxuriant (Luxuriant bleeding hearts) - bloom for 17 weeks from April to Sep.
Tiarella Iron Butterfly (iron butterfly foamflower) - bloom for 14+ week from May to Aug.
Tradescantia Virginia (Concord grape spiderwort) - bloom for 12+ week from May to Aug
Salvia Superba (meadow sage) - bloom for 12+ weeks from May to Ocxt
Very long blooming season is not always a blessing. You will get tired of them . Note, that NONE of the mentioned plants has the 'WOW-factor' that makes you soft in your knees. So to watch a third class plant for 5 months would be a doubtful pleasure. But perhaps others think differently.
I have to agree with the above, long blooming isn't necessarily a trait I look for. I tend to go for variety and lots of it. Maybe it's my personality or something, but I simply get bored with looking at the same flowers for weeks or months at a time. I love the progression of the seasons and what comes with each one. (Probably he reason I have no interest in reblooming iris)
My main plant addiction is orchids. One of the traits many orchid growers look for is long lasting flowers like Phalenopsis which can blooms for 6 months or more at a time. When I grew Phalenopsis orchids I would always cut the flowers off after 6 weeks or so. I just didn't want to look at them any longer.
I have Dicentra Luxuriant in my garden for that reason that it is long blooming. I am currently looking for Corydalis Lutea, bought some seed off ebay but they didn't germinate. I like having a few long blooming anchor plants in the garden as well. Going to look at the other ones you listed as well.
Where are you located? What zone?
Unlike some of the other posters, I do go for long blooming and choose most plants for that reason. However, I do weave in plants that have a short bloom time, daylilies for instance, in addition to evergreens. I don't plant extremely poisonous plants either like foxglove which are spectacular.
Longest bloom time plants for me are salvias, lantanas, buddleias, and while not a perennial they are in the middle of my perennial beds, knockout roses.
Great thread.
I planted a small Coreopsis "Cosmic Eye" this past June. By late June it began to flower and it has been a flower machine ever since.
I do hope it comes back next spring. (If it doesnt I will still probably plant it again and just consider it as an annual).
...long blooming isn't necessarily a trait I look for. I tend to go for variety and lots of it.
I'd have to agree with Kevin: I strive for continuous bloom in the garden right through the season but try to plant lots of varieties so there are changes & contrasts in texture and color as the weeks go by. I certainly don't have it down to a science yet but I'm keeping a diary of what perennials are in bloom when so once the cold weather starts keeping me indoors for longer periods of time, I can look at my notes and plan which perennials I want to add more of next year.
I'm especially impressed with cardinal flower & blue lobelia, along with rose campion, ladybells, turtlehead and gaura. The turtlehead is just finishing up now but the gaura is still blooming like crazy. Montauk daisies are loaded with fat buds that should open any day, toad lily is covered with buds just starting to open and the black snakeroot won't be far behind them.
My salvia bloomed for a longer period last year when not a drop of rain fell from June-October than it did this year with plentiful rain. Weather variations will nearly always influence perennial performance, either extending or shortening bloom times and duration. I enjoy the garden each year because it's never the same as the previous year. That can be a good thing...or it can make me reach for the sketch pad to re-think, retrench, re-plan.
Penstemon 'Sweet Joanne' blooms constantly from May until frost. I love that one!
Hesperaloe parviflora (Red or Yellow) have very long lasting blooms. I love the red and yellow together.
Helenium 'Double Trouble' and 'Mardi Gras' bloom a very long time.
Nepeta 'Walker's Low' and Agastache 'Golden Jubilee' bloom repeatedly here and have nice foliage as an added bonus.
Coreopsis 'Creme Brulee' blooms a very long time!
My Russian Sage blooms all summer too.
Echinacea 'Fragrant Angel' and Echinacea 'Razzmatazz' rebloom very well if deadheaded.
I like long-blooming ones. It is one of my criteria for selecting plants. These are the backbones for the gardens and I add others to add variety, texture, etc.
My favorite ever blooming ones
butterfly blue scabiosa (early June - first frost), also the drawf version
Heliopsis false sunflower (mid June - first frost)
Blanket flower arizona sun (mid June - first frost)
Knowckout roses (early June - first frost)
Salvia Royal Crimson (mid-June - mid september)
Salvia Royal Crimson became my favorite salvia since last year. Much better performance than May Night and EastFriesland. Much neater, hot purple, almost ever blooming if deadheaded. Leaf is very attractive, neat and turned to beautiful dark purple when it is getting colder in early September while the other salvia become really bad. So I started with one plant 3 yeays ago, now I have 4 health plants this year by dividing last fall. All nicely bloomed from mid June until now.
Hi Paul, I see you mentioned "Iron Butterfly Foamflower" as a very long bloomer. I was under the impressions that Tiarellas are spring bloomers only.....May or June. Does dead-heading keep yours going?
I recently planted "Sugar and Spice" Foamflower and I am now hoping it behaves like your Tiarella!

I agree, geranium 'Jolly Bee' is a great long bloomer. Two more that I never get tired of that are very long blooming for me are Heuchera 'Cherries Jubilee' and a ground cover Persicaria affinis 'Border Jewel'. Dead heading H. Cherries Jubilee keeps it sending up fresh bright bloom stalks sporadically from June to September. Just a few can make a good show. Persicaria Border Jewel, although it can get pretty ratty looking over winter, after raking out the dead leaves in early May, perks up quickly and starts sending up bloom spikes by late May and continues till a freeze in fall. Each spike changes from white to pink to rust as the season progresses showing all colors at the same time. It works well as an edger or ground cover, easily controlled. It truly is a "border jewel". I don't know why it doesn't get more press in the garden world.
I don't have the tags handy but I have several Tiarellas that bloomed from early spring to mid summer here in the Pacific Northwest. I did not deadhead. I don't deadhead my Dicentras either and I have some still blooming from spring: King of Hearts and Luxuriant.
My second year Rozanne Geranium does for sure bloom superbly but it didn't start until about....July 1st...but continues to this day.
Aren't 'Rozanne' and 'Jolly Bee' the same plants?
I definitely perfer plants that have repeat "flushes". A constant bloom with a few here and there is ok.
On of my favorites for flushes is Veronica 'Purpleicious'. If I deadhead the spikes I can usually get (3) three week flushes out of it.
If the foliage is interesting - varied shapes, sizes, colors - the flowers are incidental to the overall appearance at any given time. But, of course, the flowers are the high notes in the yard opera.
The same flowers that have been on my Hydrangea since mid-April are still there. They're so cool. They start out white, then turn blue, then pink, then lavender, and now they're a deep dusky rose.
If plumbago is hardy where you are, that's been blooming since April also. I didn't discover it until I moved down here.
Myosotis started from seeds in March have been blooming since May.
Wax begonias, where hardy, put on a 3-season show.
I'll cast another vote for the buddleia (butterfly bush.) This the only one I've mentioned that needs deadheading to bloom profusely until frosts.
I have a love hate relationship with the butterfly bush. Due to space we have only 'tried' the miniature versions. I say in the past 3 or 4 years I have planted probably 4 of these plants. None ever survive more than 2 seasons. Right now we have none.
What is the secret(s) to having these plants make it through the winter successfully as I may try again next spring.
heliopsis is a long bloomer for me, rudbeckia subtomentosa starts mid Aug. and goes till hard frost, stachys Hummelo nearly 4 weeks, love sedums and of course grasses. All of these have good foliage all season long even when not in bloom. Another one I grow just for foliage is eupatorium 'Chocolate'
In looking for long bloomers, don't forget the many perennials that can be pinched back to delay bloom. By pinching about a third of the stems at 2 or 3 intervals, you can spread the bloom over 5 or 6 weeks on a plant that normally blooms for only 2 weeks. Tall Phlox is one with which this method of extending bloom works well.
linda0210, In that picture the light would be considered full sun. It is on the west side of the house. Morning sun reaches it in mid summer around 10 and the shade of a maple gets to it around 5 pm. In that small bed, it has slowly spread to the center where it gets mostly shade all day from an overhanging shrub. I think it would do well in less sun. A filtered sun situation should keep it happy.
hemnancy, GW member sunnyborders has
P. affinis "Dimity" and likes if very much as a spreading, but easily controlled, ground cover. Hopefully he will see this thread so that he can comment further on his positive experiences with this particular persicaria.
I've tried "Dimity" three different times as a ground cover around shrubs. It looks great, roots easily, flowers are interesting and then - it doesn't survive the winter. I had it with "Quickfire" hydrangea and it was a nice, flower color echo - didn't survive.
At this point I don't know if it's water lack prior to winter, location or general ineptitude. I need to talk to someone that knows more than I do.

Thanks for this. I had to look up "Lamium". Web references seem to indicate it can take (a lot?) of shade. Have you had experience with it in good shade?
I also didnt know that TMonster flowers all summer. Too bad (for me) it does get so large.

For those interested in the Persicarias Afinnis ' Border Jewel' and Persicaria Afinnis 'Dimity', check out the site below for a comparison. Looks to me like it is primarily size.
Here is a link that might be useful: Persicarias (formerly polygonum)
[UPDATE: I hadn't done my due diligience and re-read all of this great thread prior to my post below. And I see looking more closely that Paul had already responded to a similar comment of mine from 2011. That's embarrassing.]

Tiarella Iron Butterfly - bloom for 14+ week from May to Aug.
I love the 3 Tiarella plants that I have ("Sugar and Spice") but they do not bloom anywhere near as long as you are describing. Last season they were in flower for about...4 weeks tops...say late April to late May.
Can you describe the flower cycle of your Tiarella? It can't be one continuous bloom in those 12 weeks...can it? So do you dead head and they reflower? I am curious how you get this to happen.

Yes, I have Orchid Frost growing under a cherry tree around other larger perennials where it gets no direct sun. It does just as well as the areas of it that get a few hours of am sun. I grow several varieties of lamium and this is by far the neatest form and best flowering. -Also more heat and drought tolerant than some others.
I keep a collection of flowering perennials, foliage plants and small flowering shrubs in the back. When things up the front yard start to look a bit bare of colour, I bring whichever potted plants are showing colour to the front and discretely place them amongst the in-ground plants. The hardest thing about this method is remembering to water them - they are so easily forgotten when their pots are out of sight. I get over this problem by using our automated drip irrigation where-ever I can.
I forgot about geranium, Orkney Cherry, which does well in sun or nearly total shade for me. Blooms from maybe the end of May until Nov., small but bright and prolific flowers. Much smaller than TMonster at maybe 6-8"tall x 15"w. Leaves are quite dark in more shade - this pic is in full sun.
Here is Shepherd's Warning. -Can't remember when it starts blooming, Maybe the end of May through Oct or Nov. I have only had it two years. - This is three plants from Bluestone when they were doing the 3-packs. I think this geranium likes full or at least plenty of sun. Sorry I'm still doing pics one at a time.
As rouge21 says I've found Persicaria affinis 'Dimity' to be a very useful and attractive ground cover.
Re boday's experience with the plant: I've had it three years in sunny locations in both (upgraded) clay and sandy gardens. I know it's also done well at Merlin's Hollow (a large well-known local garden here). My locations are all probably adequately watered.
Realize how site specific perennials can be. Would be interesting to know the reason for boday's and my different experiences with Dimity's longevity.
I have Corydalis Lutea growing as a weed in my yard. Never paid much attention to it but now I'll have to see if it actually blooms 20+ weeks. It has started in May and not stopped since.
It grows in a shady spot underneath a purple rhododendron. I love the colour combination when they both flower.
greengo I very much like "Max Frei" also. My 3 plants are winding down in terms of blooms but I do like the tidy habit they exhibit all season and they will give a few more flowers much later in the season. But my plants don't look nearly as good as yours...excellent specimens.
(Btw, how long do yours bloom for...for me it is about...3 weeks or so).
And a thumbs up Hoverfly9 re C.Lutea. I especially like it in deep shade in a more wild area of my garden. Of course it spreads all over but it is trivial to pull them up.

Depends what is meant by long blooming - in my book, I am looking for a good 10-12 weeks, or 2 or 3 good flushes throughout the season (with certain caveats).
Rehmannia alata has been in prolific bloom for 3 months, now, with no signs of slowing down. The shrubby salvias (greggii et al.) can go on for 6 or more months, as can some penstemons, I have a delightful mimulus aurantiacus which will bloom throughout the summer for many weeks, as well as various hardy geraniums, many of which have already been noted. Sterile hybrid digitalis will continue to bloom, as will a sterile polemonium, Lambrooke Mauve. Pelargoniums,, nemesia, diascias and bacopa are long blooming pot/bedding plants,....but I am avoiding getting into either half-hardy perennials (which we regard as annuals) nor do I really want to delve into heavy dead-heading territory. If you are vigilant about this (unlike me), campanulas can be induced to bloom for the entire season, as can some dianthus...in fact, many plants will go on for months if prevented from setting seed. But, for lazy and negligent types who just want a lot of blooming with minimal effort, the amellus asters are easy and failsafe, along with limonium, bupleurum, eryisimum, erodium, callirhoe.

The apartments and the grounds were kept beautiful. There was a great diversity in the age and cultures that l Read Moreived there. And yet, mature residents who were kind, respectful and we're not loud. Instead, of many building complexes where you can hear everyone comings and goings, Park Place Estates is well laid out and has all of the amenities that an apartment "village" has. Park Place Estates is spacious, quiet and has privacy within the complex. The office staff very friendly.

Recent St. Thomas Reviews
Best vacation rental!
First let me say that we use VBRO alot, so we have stayed in many places. Most of them very beautiful. However with Joe and Marcia you get more than what you would expect....yes you get a beautifully appointed rental, with an amazing view, along with everything you would need to make it an amazing vacation. But you also get a couple that truly cares you have the best time, so they go well beyond what should be expected of them. I think if you read the reviews you understand they become more like friends by the end of your stay. We cant wait to save up and go back with our kids and grandkids. Also, we just love Lucy, who is sure to make a place in your heart!
Wow! Perfect Vacation Rental!
First of all, the property is just as advertised, everything is new and clean; and is well equipped with everything you need (high- end finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms were especially nice). Second, the owners, Joe and Marcia, live on the property and also made themselves available to answer any questions we might have, as well as provide dinner suggestions, etc. (we actually went out to dinner with them, very nice couple!) Our favorite day excursion was a trip to St. John (short ferry ride, very easy), absolutely beautiful beaches! And, our favorite restaurant, Thirteen, was a short drive from the house. You definitely need a car (and a good map - many of the roads are not marked). Finally, there are 2 rentals on the property, so you may be sharing the pool with other guests (we spent our time exploring different beaches, so we did not use the pool - which is also brand new). Overall, a great vacation. We will definitely be back!
Want To Make Lion's Gate Our Home
This was our 4th visit to St. Thomas and we have found our permanent place of return! We will look no more! Where to start. Max! She was so accomodating and helpful from our arrivial to departure and every day in-between, she and her husband Chris made sure we had what we needed to make this our best experience on St. Thomas yet. We originally booked a week at Bluebeard Castel Resort and wanted to add a few days on the front of our week stay on St. Thomas and Lion's Gate is what we booked. We liked it so much that when we arrived at our timeshare, and were disapointed after such beautiful views, and great location at Lion's Gate, that we contacted Max to return and stayed in her 2nd accommodation, the Cottage, making our 11 day vacation completely perfect! Both places have such comfort and charm. The decks, I could stay all day just on the patio and decks. I did find I spent more time taking pictures and watching the ocean views than reading. We like to prepare our own meals and found the kitchen adequate for our needs. Why eat in a restaurant when we had the veiws and perfect setting at Lion's Gate! We always rent a vehicle when on St. Thomas as we like to go to the different beaches. We ferry the car over to St. John's, just a 20 min. ride and we are on a new Island to explore and enjoy our favorite beach of Trunk Bay. We did take walks down the hill and over to Sapphire Beach. We also walked down to the grocery store at the bottom of the hill from Lion's Gate. Red Hook Dock is right at the bottom of the hill and you can take the boats or Ferries from there. It is a steep hill climb back to Lion's Gate, but doable, you can take it at your own speed. We booked a sailboat trip with Max during the week. Perfect! They watched the winds and the waves and took us to the best places for the conditions. We loved sailing with Max and Andrew. He showed us so many things 'under the sea' that we had missed before, brought them up to the surface for us to hold and handle. We saw a spotted Eagle Ray, puffer fish, turtles and a Moray eel as well as the regular sea fish we normally see snorkeling in the Virgin Islands. It was so nice to have our own personal guide to teach us the things we'd been missing! An added suprize and bonus was receiving the pictures he had taken with his pro camera and then emailed to us at no extra charge, a rarity in the tourist industry. It was a great day! We can totally recommend Lion's Gate to anyone!

The process took a day – interviewed at Argon ST in February 2010.Interview Details
Submitted my resume online via the careers section of their website. Received a call from HR to setup a telephone interview. Took some time to receive the confirmation but I spoke with a software engineer who realized I'd be a much better fit in another role. I was passed on to a 2nd phone interviewer with whom I had a lengthy conversation, mostly technical questions related to signal processing basics.
I then received a call a few days later informing me that they'd like to interview me in person. The day of the interview I ended up interviewing with two separate groups, the unexpected interview sessions led to a job offer. I was thankful that the timing worked out with being able to interview with the 2nd group since I felt it was a perfect fit for my goals.Interview Questions

The process took a day – interviewed at Argon ST in January 2008.Interview Details
I applied via the Argon ST website and was contacted within a few days to set up a phone interview with an engineer in my prospective group. The phone interview simply consisted of discussions of my past experience and I was given the opportunity to ask questions. After a few weeks I was invited to Fairfax for an onsite interview. This consisted of interviews with 2 engineers, a group lead, lunch with another engineer and an interview with a recruiter. The interviews were all very informal, mostly discussion based about the company's ongoing projects and my project experience. A few behavioral questions were asked. In the end, I was told that the position I had interviewed to fill had been eliminated.Interview Questions

The Penobscot receiver network is a collaborative effort between NEFSC, the University of Maine, and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The University of Maine and USGS maintain freshwater and some estuarine receivers, while NEFSC maintains the majority of the estuarine receivers and all those in marine areas. Biologists download data monthly by tending the receivers by boat.
Once data is downloaded for the season, biologists can learn which route each fish took, how long it took to get to the Gulf of Maine, and most importantly, which fish survived and where fish that did not exit the Penobscot River may have died. This information can help uncover the causes of mortality.
Kocik says the establishment of the Halifax array by the Ocean Tracking Network as a distant receiver line on the Atlantic shelf affords a new opportunity to detect U.S. salmon on their migration to the Labrador Sea. Other NEFSC biologists have been tagging about 250,000 salmon annually since the 1980s using traditional external tagging methods, which help determine survival but don't provide the level of detail about fish movements that the acoustic tags do.
The Ocean Tracking Network array works like the coastal network in Penobscot Bay. Once the tagged fish swim near passive acoustic receivers on the ocean floor, which are about 800 meters (2,500 feet) apart in a line 22 kilometers (about 14 miles) long, information is transmitted to the receivers and then downloaded via modem to computers on nearby research vessels tending the array. The first tagged salmon crossed the Halifax line in early June.

Pallet garden
nmgirl(8 S.NM)May 22, 2012
Here's a neat idea for a pallet garden. I realize the link is on Facebook but it's the only one I could find...easily.
Here is a link that might be useful: Pallet garden directions
That is pretty cool...vertical gardening! Nice recycling, too! TFS! Jeanne s.
Love vertical gardening & even more so when it's a repurpose. This is a great alternative for those with limited space & makes a wonderful herb garden. Did this on a friends wooden privacy fence while she was waiting for some trees to mature & planted it with black-eyed susan vine. The fence quickly became invisible.
This can also be done with sections of rain gutters. Just drill a few holes for drainage & plant.

Roo's Story... This dog is located and fostered in Tennessee. Minimum Adoption Donation $150 in TN, $200 plus transportation fee for out of state adoptions. Are you that special adopter who will match with little Roo perfectly? Well, to fill that position, you must: 1) Love dogs. 2) Appreciate moderate energy in a little dog, especially one that weighs just16 lbs. 3) Be aware that an 8-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix has YEARS more to enjoy life and make you laugh. 4) Let him snuggle with you or your kids (he grew up in a home with respectful kids, so he's great with them). 5) Have a fenced yard and monitor your home's outside doors ... (Read More)closely (yes, Roo can push a screen door open). 6) Enjoy a lengthy game of fetch (check out the video!). 7) Let him outside in a timely manner to potty. 8) Be grateful that your adopted dog is leash -, crate-, and doggy-door-trained and that he knows the sit command (working on down and stay now). 9) Not worry if someone sticks their hand in his food bowl (he won't bite). 10) Overlook the scars he has from being attacked by a big dog and spending 5 weeks in a vet clinic recovering. 11) Be aware that his ears hear EVERYTHING (especially your approaching car or kibble jingling in a food bowl). 12) Be able to sidestep a happy tail (Roo's never stops wagging unless he's asleep). 13) Accept that your adopted dog will likely make your furniture his bed (but he's very trainable). 14) Be patient as he meets strangers and other dogs (may be submissive at first introduction). 15) Not raise chickens (or have neighbors who do) 16) Understand that a firm 'No' or 'Ack!' is correction enough for any behavior mistakes (Roo becomes very submissive). 17) Be willing to continue his monthly flea/worm/heartworm preventative and daily nutritional joint supplement and keep his DHPP and rabies vaccinations up to date. 18) Tolerate excitement or chastisement piddling while he adjusts to his new home. 19) Keep him safe inside your heart and home and love him to his last breath. We would love to hear from you if you feel you are the person/family we have described. Roo has already been neutered and microchipped and had a recent dental cleaning by a vet, so he's ready to go home with you as soon as you are approved as his adopter! (Less)

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Dachshund in Tennessee
Dachshund Dogs can make good pets in Tennessee if they match your IifestyIe. The Dachshund is a long, short-legged dog with a temperament similar to that of a terrier. Dachshunds are cheeky, playful, mischievous, and resistant to training or discipline. Dachshunds do well with older children. Dachshunds are well suited to apartment life but need exercise, and it is important that they not be overfed as this breed is prone to weight gain.
