Dividing And Transplanting Sesleria Autumnalis - Front Porch Bed + IB2DWs - October 2024

Yesterday, I showed how I moved out a 'mystery' Sesleria to the IB2DWs bed down by the sidewalk.  That left a hole in the front porch bed that I wanted to fill with what was already there:  Autumn Moor Grass.  These things are THRIVING, so it was easy to pick up and divide it. I ended up dividing a clump into three pieces.  I put one back into the original hole, one in the newly created hole (via mystery sesleria transplant) and I tucked the third one into IB2DWs - next to some Serendipity Alliums.  

Below are a few photos - first the two smaller divisions: far left and second from the right.  I tucked them in with a combination of compost and biosolids.  

And here below is the third from the division - in the IB2DWs bed about half-way down the driveway:

This gave me a +2 plants via division.  

I need to total up all Fall:  +2 trees, +2 John Greelee Grasses, +6 Ajuga = +10 planted.  And...+1 red swtichgrass, +1 mystery grass and now + 2 Autumn Moor Grasses = +4 by division. 

14 total 'new plants' in Fall2024.    

Fall Planting 2024 List

• A semi-dwaf, mostly upright conifer tree - the Oregon Green Austrian Pine - planted in the front yard along the south property line.  #ConifersShouldComeFirst
• The Skylands Spruce - container grown from Conifer Kingdom.  Planted in the back of the Island Bed in the front yard.  #HideAndReveal
• Two new and one transplanted John Greenlee Moor Grass (Seslaria) in the island bed in front of the Northern Glow Korean Maple.  
• Six Ajuga 'Chocolate Chip' groundcover plugs planted in the Island Bed in the front yard. 
• While not a 'planting' or 'dividing' project, I extended the front porch beds out a foot-or-so.  
• Dividing an existing Red Switchgrass down IB2DWs near the sidewalk.  From one grass to two - hoping to rejuvenate the crown of this ornamental grass and get it going a little bit. 
• I dug up, divided and transplanted into two clumps a 'mystery' blue-green sesleria/or ornamental grass from the front porch bed down to IB2DWs along the sidewalk.
