Today's Garden - Centranthus_5396.jpg
1 Attachment(s)
Although my garden usually peaks in the 2nd week of July, there are
some things beginning to look pretty good now. Centranthus rubber (Jupiter's Beard or Red Valerian) in the foreground and Agastache (Hyssop; "golden jubilee") in the background. I grow most of my perennials from seed and I have been working on the Centranthus planting for several years. I have good germination from it, but the transplants tend to struggle. It is still not as substantial a planting as I want it, but this year I'm going to try starting a bunch of stuff from cuttings and do some division and see how it goes. The Agastache, on the other hand, is a rampant self-sower. That bed in the background about doubles in size every year all on its own. By next year it may begin to become a problem.

I had Centranthus at our last home and loved it. I got lots
of volunteer, unfortunately they seldom came up where I wanted them. I need to get some going here. John - Pa. wrote in message ...
