The lines were long and my cart was full, but I finished
shopping for the list of plants I had created earlier this spring.
I always have good luck at Country Flower Farms in Middlefield.
I was able to find the perennials I wanted to add or replace in the garden. I replaced a Liatris that did not appear last year. It was white and I found a purple one to replace it. I also found a compact Rudbeckia "Little Goldstar". I'm hoping it makes it in the empty space in the garden where nothing will grow. I'm not sure if it's the soil, some construction debris--or the rabbits!
Good luck, little coneflower!
I'll do what I can to nurture you.
Near the garden bench and one of the lavender planters,
I planted a Thrift or Seapink (Armeria maritima 'Bloodstone' to be specific...)
I am still trying to learn the Latin names of these plants!
It is deer-resistant--but what about the rabbits?
Both of these perennials are locally grown at Sunny Borders in Kensington.
The other perennials were for Sara's new butterfly garden: a hollyhock,
a False Indigo plant, a globe Allium and summer stock.
More on this garden later!
