yesterday we went to Shelmerdine…
I had called and they had a new shipment in, which included butterfly bush…
they are referred to as delicate perennials or hardy annuals, lol… that means you have to bring them in over the winter if you want them to survive… I managed to get one to survive one year, but it didn’t make it the following year…
I also picked up some beardstongue – which hummingbirds like, and has purple flowers…
finished up with cucumbers, dill, a tomato and a couple of waterplants…
the butterfly bushes went right into areas around the pond and the rest into the garage to harden off… likely the water plants will make it into the pond in the next few days…
planted some butterfly bushes although they don’t really look very lively and potted up the last of the plants I’d bought recently… I was very happy when I came across the bushes because they are difficult to find as they are annuals here, not perennials, which is what the packaging always says…
