It's the end of July and it's been hot as Hades this year, hotter than I ever remember in June and July. Life in the garden has been truncated to the evenings before storms roll in. If a plant survives this year, it's not because I've babied it. It's every man for himself right now.
Here's what's in bloom:
Merlot Coneflower - 2 full months and no sign of stopping
Guara - never stops from spring to fall..i expect this will go until November
Blue Fortune Hyssop - bee's paradise - (Mid June - November
Heaven's Gate- coreopsis
Yellow Perennial summer Snap Dragons - (Antirrhinum braun-blanquetii) - grown from seed
Agapanthus - Peter Pan - purple balls w/ hycynth type blooms
Heaven on Earth rose
Butterfly bush - pink delight - (just ordered this spring)
Rudbeckia - irish eyes - grown from seed
zinnias - i always love these but they just kill my garden with powdery mildew; this year I grew green envy and white giant
tardiva hydrangena
guacamole hosta - white blooms! so pretty w/ the lime green foliage.
