While cleaning up flower beds this Spring, it was clear my beautiful Butterfly Bush’s had not survived the Winter.
Last Fall I had planted just a few Liatris that I had started in the greenhouse. They have filled in the empty gaps and are going to be stunning in a few days….I love the purple against the grey-green colors of Rabbit Run Cottage.
Notice anything else? That hole in the porch post is missing it’s Flag. Lost in the storm.
Check back in the garden in a few days if you love purple!

Spiderwort

I love having Spiderwort in my gardens.
I find it beautiful and tolerant of weather conditions.
An American wildflower that is edible?!
I just read this– Spiderwort salad anyone?
Perhaps I need to rename for the menu!
Think pink

Stonecrop
Stonecrop is the common name for the large plant family of Sedum
“known for their foliage, flowers, hardiness and variety”
Perfect!
I have been adding new plants each year, and now have lot’s of Mother plants to take cuttings from.
I fill flats with a sand and soil-less potting mix.
Tuck in all the little cuttings, and wait patiently in the greenhouse.
When they resist a little tug–they are ready for either a larger pot–or right to the garden.
