We're gunna need an update on this one! ๐
Of course, hereโs a teaser growmie, taking July 10, still soooo long to wait!!
Those are gorgeous!
Beautiful!
Lilies.
Siris drunk and I donโt like fighting with her sometimes. Or maybe I named them, whoโs to say.
Fantastic! Those are going to have so many beautiful flowers!
That braided decorative grass is cool - way cooler than the regular grass that comes up in my flowerbeds! ๐
But what is that short purple and white guy between the grasses, almost dead-center? 'Cause it looks nice too, but it's hidden away! Lol
Thanks!
The โgrassโ is Braided willows, the one isnโt doing so hot. They are both new to that bed this year. The lilies are the only returning ones in this bed. Iโve tried and failed with hydrangeas twice.
Lupins! Bought from hd this as well and I scatter planted some new seeds with it. Yeah stuff kinda Exploded around it hahah. I canโt recall the expected height, but shouldnโt be buried if it returns next year.
I also got split the lilies this year for health Iโm pretty sure.
Planted just before this picture May 31
Oh that's even cooler than decorative grass! The whole bed looks great, man. The scatter planting will be fun, too! Now I know that I like lupins ๐ thanks!
I'm gonna have to do some splitting and replanting this fall, too. The flowers did much better than expected after just one year - lol
Nice looking garden ๐ชป
Are those new lilies? I've always wondered how they would do coming up through mulch. I've got a bunch around my place I'd love to mulch up to help keep the weeds down.
No they are established, about 3 years iirc.
My old mulch was getting well old and I never turned it, so it was really dense, so some of the Lillieโs had issues coming up this year, I do try to loosen it where they are for that reason. You can see the one just in behind the other in front of the window, so small.
To answer the question I guess. I have hostas in another bed that had the same mulch that never came out last year, I figured they died from the heat the year before like the rest. They came back this year when I stripped the mulch.
So Iโm gonna be more diligent stirring the mulch yearly, Iโve also stuck bamboo stakes by each plant so I can pull mulch back in the spring to let the sun hit the soil sooner. Iโve heard that can help. It gets to -40c here, hardiness zone 3 for CAD and USA
