This weekend , it ’s time to prune asters and other fall bloomer , and tidy up the fleur-de-lis and first daylilies by move out spent flower scape . Here are lush aster in the front elbow room bed . provide unpruned , in a few months they ’ll just splay . I take off about 3″ every month before July .
I ’ll also deadhead the rosebush and feed them again . Here ’s Iceberg against Gulfpenstemon in the den bed .
Here ’s Buff Beauty on the khat cove arbor .
New Dawn climb the other side of the cat cove arbor . I could n’t decide which fragrant pastel I like most , so Greg suggested I institute one on each side !
They ’re really in too much shadowiness , but that situation is changing . For one affair , I ’m budget for the former cottonwood against the shed to leave us next twelvemonth . Its bottom trunk is Brobdingnagian , but its top is ever small as it leave out elderly branches . In one way , it will be sad , since it will be the last to go from what came with the yard .
In addition , with the recent creek project , all the folderol trees and ligustrums are razed ( at least for the import ) . The back fence bed is induce a lot more Lord’s Day , and we ’ve temporarily lost our sentience of natural enclosure , as we watch the bulldozers beyond the Lady Banks in the cat cove .
Here ’s another fragrance aesthesis : the patio star jasmine with rose Marie Pavie .
Here they are broad . The jasmine ’s shrub form was happenstance . It just so happened that my treillage was too brusk , so I wound branches around each other and clip . These flowers follow springiness bulbs . Daylilies and Eupatorium greggii take over after that , with Turk crest as their background against the patio . In fall , lycorisand oxblood lilies join it , along with Marie ’s 2d or ( third ) outburst . The new cove jasmine on its trellis is 4′ to the right to form the cove entree . When it end up bloom , I ’ll tumble it here and there to encourage ramify into its shrub physical body .
Re - bloomer Marie Pavie is a compact fragrant sensation from spring through drop and is well-chosen with its few hours of morning and late good afternoon sun .
On this week ’s show , we visit Sue Nazar ’s garden . I met her on the
In - studio , Deena Berg fromBastrop Gardens(celebrating their 10th day of remembrance ! ) pull together intent for hot weather group . Also , I require her to explain how to plant once it gets blistering , since every gardener find a new gap to fill after spring ’s saturnalia . She includes plumbago , one of my darling in hot sunlight and in fond shade , like this one under the Chinese pistache in back .
It ’s not as rich as the unity in front sun , but it blooms reliably , joining the shrimp plants that link it to gird that layer .
Finally , here ’s a shot of the front porch bottom . Nandina - ville almost extended to the purple heart on the left next to the edging . It ’ll be another season or two before everything fills in . On the far right is the all in cenizo , now put back with avariegated Miscanthus .
Crepe term of enlistment next week for indisputable ! Until then , Linda
