The video below makes me happy. It’s a part of the garden I’m very proud of and one that has filled in nicely over time.
After watching this life-changing video, check out the photos below which identify all of the plants that were part of the mini-tour. I’ve even linked the pics to sites where you can read more about each.
You are so welcome.
Hypericum ‘Blue Velvet’
Physostegia (Obedient Plant) ‘Vivid’
This is how they looked only a little over one year ago. How quickly they fill in.
Sorbaria sorbifolia (False Spirea)
Veronica (cultivar unknown … my bad … the spreadsheet wasn’t updated.)
Pennisetum (Fountain Grass) ‘Desert Plains’
In September
In October
Schizachyrium scoparium (Little Bluestem)
They look wonderful! And yes, the physostegia likes to migrate and spread very easily! I wish ours would bloom again. I thought they might this year but they deer came through. *sigh*
I’ve gotta see if obedient plant grows here in zone 3. Mucho thanks!
Perhaps your veronica is Sunny Border Blue. I have one and it blooms for a long time, sitting next to gorgeous orange Butterfly Weed.
The physostegia is what I call a “take over plant” or even a thug. I ousted mine and stuck it in a no-man’s land where it can spread all it wants. Unlike you, who wants things to fill in, I like my plants to each know their place and stay put. Thus I rarely have masses, but rather one of this, one of that. Gardeners have their own styles, eh?
Nice ONG … just curious, can Venus Flytraps be grown outdoors in the Garden State?
