Bursting at the Seams! The Garden in August

Bursting at the Seams! The Garden in August

By August the garden is lushly overgrown and just a wee bit passed in spots. This allows for the later bloomers to really shine. Here, Plumetastic® Pink Muhly Grass and Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass take center stage. The last blooms of Agastache and Euphorbia add color to the blowsy dreaminess that's the garden this time of year.

Kate, I loved the way you put the tiny sprigs on the plants to tell us what they were. I so wish that you had done the same with some other photos. I find it frustrating to see a beautiful landscape and not know what is included to make it beautiful. Otherwise, these are wonderful articles that you have posted.

Removed My cone flowers from my perennial bed and gave them to my granddaughter. Replaced them with Denver Daisy Rudbeckia plants. Great color and structure. They please me more. I still have many beautiful coneflowers to enjoy in another area.

My 6+ year old SEDUM PURPLE EMPEROR collapsed recently; outward all around and laying on the ground. It continues to blossom but most of the length of the stems are laying on the ground with just 4-6 inches at blossom end standing up. Why? I'm on CO by the way.

Bee Balm flush of blooms gone andBlack Eye Susan flowers just finished . Would love to see designs for flower gardens that can survive heat and full sun of afternoon Georgia summers. Love your photographs and information on how to plant 3 levels of height for depth .
