Early September Blooms


Karen planted these Limelight two years ago and it has thrived. This one has been blooming prolifically for two months!

Russian Sage is one of my favorite under appreciated plants. It's gray silver foliage has a great aroma and it blooms forever in the summer with fragrant lavender flowers.

Turtle Head blooms with tons of pink flowers in the late summer. It might be too early to tell, but this year's Turtle Head blooms may be fewer than in past years.

Salvia is just starting to bloom. The light red tint will become a dark red by fall.

We sliced some grass off the mother plant near the water garden last fall. Strangely, this grass is sending up plumes weeks before the mother plant.

As anyone who has planted Morning Glory knows, it will reseed in places you did not intend. We had Morning Glory potted to keep it from spreading, but the seeds sprouted in locations far flung from the original pot.
