We won't know until next spring whether it will survive, come back, or need to be cut down. On the right are some cascading petunias that we planted in June. They didn't fill out and and look great, for some reason, despite frequent watering and a feeding or two. Maybe the weather was just too hot for them. We had extreme heat waves in June, July, and August.
Above left is a sedum (stonecrop) that I planted in a jardinière back in 2003. It lives in the planter outdoors 12 months a year and so far has never failed to push up new leaves in spring and bloom in early autumn. On the right are some pyracantha berries I noticed glowing in a neighbor's hedge along our road.
I think I need to try some sedum, yours is hardy and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteColorful and uplifting!
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, petunias will try to go to seed if it gets too hot. And flower less.
ReplyDeleteThose pyracantha berries are pretty!
