June 16.
The day after Bloomday, we join
for
Foliage Follow-Up.
This month, we have the usual suspects, here at
Patchwork Garden.
The front Island Bed is coming along.
The Yucca Rostrata, Mexican Feathergrass and Lantana are doing good.
Artemisia 'Powis Castle' is a reliable foliage plant that adds an airy look, beside the structured plants.
Moving around to the side of the house, Dusty Miller in containers add another silver, airy touch.
The Inland Sea Oats are filling in, in a shady corner beside the garage.
Inside the Fenced Yard, Liriope is a good old stand-by.
Lamb's Ear and Purple heart make a good combination.
The striped leaves on this Canna, give the garden interest,
even when there are none of those great blooms.
On the deck step, a pot of deer resistant Blue Fescue grass is working.
The old firepit-turned-planter holds an Agave lophantha. It's growing and putting out pups.
I'll soon need to cut out the pups, and move them somewhere else.
Inside the Veggie Garden, the grapevine we got on the Wine Trail last year, is looking healthy,
and growing up the fence.
Outside that fence, the Prickly Pear I moved from the shade of the Deer Grove,
is loving the extra sunshine.
And, the Mexican Feathergrass here is taking off. And...there are lots of little baby
Feathergrasses, too. I'll be moving them all around the place.
This Agave I rescued from our neighbor Elli's redo last year,
is beginning to grow. Another one is not doing as well.
But, the deer have left them alone...for now.
Lastly, I don't know what is happening to this new Yucca.
It hasn't been watered too much...and, I hope not too little. But, it's not looking so good.
It's supposed to look like this.
Any ideas?
So....show us your foliage.
Hop over to
Pam's, and see some great plants.
Have a Great Weekend...
