Ok, so I have been putting this off, but I am trying to make my yard a little less overwhelming to new potential owners and I would love to see starts of my plants go to homes where they are cared for. It would have been a hundred times better to do this in the spring, but alas here I am in the heat with super hard soil. So keep in mind any starts you get will need to be consistently watered and frequently watered in the beginning. Tall starts can be cut back to help with the transfer.
I’d appreciate a $1-$3 donation/start to put toward my gardens at my new home!
It will be best if I dig early morning or in the evening and if you are able to transplant them as quickly as possible.
In the order of their pictures:
💚lambs ear- soft silver foliage, makes flower spikes mid spring, likes sun, does not like wet feet, perennial
💚creeping thyme- great ground cover, can use it in cooking as well, perennial
💚daisy- standard Shasta daisies with the tall willowy stems, white with yellow centers, with spread through seeds.
💚mystery baby’s breath type perennial, sun, currently flowering, does well as a cut flower
💚gooseneck- flowering now with unique bending flower heads, likes sun, will tolerate shade. Does spread outward through roots, slower spread if in some shade. I started a small clump surrounded by grass and it has expanded winning against the grass over the past 6 years.
💚Canterbury bells - at least I am pretty sure that’s what these are. They are a biennial so they will flower next mid spring; I’m pretty sure they will flower blue as that is what I had the most of, but I did have a few light pink as well.
💚Coreopsis- these have larger yellow flowers on fairly sturdy stems, can use for cut flower, self seed readily.
💚sage- little sage seedling, standard variety, perennial, but shorter lived.
💚blue sedum ground cover
💚oregano- perennial, full sun, may be fine in partial shade, use it for cooking, cut flowers, pollinators love it, does keep expanding
💚blazing star - perennial, Praire plant, just starting to flower, if you want one of these, let’s wait a few days and I’ll cut the flower back before digging. Just a few of these
💚tansy - perennial, pretty ferny foliage, develops yellow flowers mid/late summer; this one will be floppy to transplant at this stage, staking would probably be a good idea.
