Moving plants around

Moved a heuchera from the back (where it was hidden amidst the huge hostas) to the front corner. (Left of front door step.) I think it is a Amethyst Mist Heuchera. Should do well.

Planted a couple of groundcover sedums. Sedum Spirium "Rotraut" (Flower clusters are pure white. Green foliage. Low spreading habit.) -- Planted in back near blue hosta path.
Also planted Stonecrop (Sedum Cauticolum) at the right edge of driveway - at top.

Planted Baby's Tears around path near blue hostas. 8 small squares. Did well by other path -- but may not get enough light in this new spot. Thought it was shade loving -- but it says "part-sun -- 4 - 6 hours of sun." Very little in our garden gets that much!

July 4, 2010

Worked on moving existing plants around.

Had purchased a dozen Heuchera's (green leaves) at PACE plant sale last year. Planted them around yard. -- Needed more sun than most spots that I planted. Moved three to kitchen sink garden.

Also planted Leatherleaf Fern that I'd purchased at McLendon's. Rumohra adiantiformis

July 1, 2010 - cul-de-sac strip

Planted 7 Heuchera's in strip below Torri's yard, next to Pederson's:

Heuchera Caramel (light colored)
Heuchera Can Can (darker purple leaves)

June 2010

Fuchsia - purchased at Flower World.
. Fuchsia magellanica - Riccartoni.
Planted between Fern Hill and blue ferns.
Description: Corolla - Dark velvety purple; Sepals - Scarlet red.

Western Bleeding Heart - - Dicentra formosa "King of Hearts" - not sure where planted. Maybe in kitchen garden.


Found label for Blanket Flower. Gaillardia "Sunburst Yellow" on driveway.
