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.
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.
