Welp, struck out on getting rue anemone (anemonella thalictroides) at the Woodlands Garden plant sale.
They had a synonym for it, thalactricum thalictroides, on the plant list, but actually had meadow rue (thalactricum pubescens).
Picked up 3 woodland asters (eurybia divaricata), a foamflower (tiarella cordifolia), and a great blue lobelia (lobelia siphilitica) at Swallowtail Center. And got a free bee balm (monarda bradburyana) thrown in!
Fall is around the corner, and it’s about time to execute on the planning and preparation I’ve already done to plant our side steps bed.
These are the plants I plan to purchase.
I love seeing this in a mainstream publication. It indicates that non-lawns are becoming more normalized.
I have been repeatedly impressed by the marginal wood ferns (dryopteris marginalis) I planted this spring. More than once a fern had lost all its fronds (from falling branches, careless meter readers, etc.), looked dead for weeks, only for fiddleheads to appear seemingly out of nowhere.
