Sesleria Greenlee Moor Grass Planted (And Transplanted) In Island Bed - October 2024
Fall is for planting. At least, that's what I've figured out after eight seasons of gardening our property in (now) Zone 6a/5b. The lure of the nursery in Spring is so strong, but things do better when they go in later in the season. At least...that's been true the past few years. Fall Planting 2023 was WILD. This year, it is slower, but still happening. There have been two conifer trees in the front yard - Oregon Green Austrian Pine and the Skylands Spruce.
Today, I'm showing how I've added three Greenlee Moor Grasses to the island bed. Two of them are new; bought at the end-of-the-season sale at The Growing Place. One of them, I transplanted from last year's spot (by the Saratoga Ginkgo).
Below is a look at the small quart-sized container of the two that I picked up this season:
I opted to put these three (two new, one transplant) in the front of the island bed. These now stand *in front* of the Northern Glow Korean Maple tree and are next to the Inferno Coleus (annual).
That Inferno Coleus on the left of the photo above sure is lovely. Makes me think that I need to do a coleus-as-bedding-plant appreciation post. That's certainly *something* that I got right this year.
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
