Those things are up to 7ft tall. I see small ones, all over. I think it's because I don't deal with the seed heads which germinate the following year. It's difficult for me to know how much of the spreading is growth vs. seeding.
Mine was only a little behind yours Midwinter . Silly thing is facing the house. Sombrero Baja Burgundy Echinacea (coneflower) from the roadside garden. Too bad non of the seed produced was viable for me or Molly. Pink Penstemon - Not where the original was planted, but one tier under. The original plant didn't survive (or I didn't recognize it and I pulled it - but I don't think so). These are pretty short compared to the Husker Red Penstemons that I am used to, and they are hiding behind the tall batisea, so they were a nice surprise when I discovered them yesterday.
I was just out weeding, and I noticed a couple of echinacea seedlings! So there's hope. Don't know if there were from the red or orange batch, one of these years maybe we'll find out.
Getting pretty thick in the driveway flower/weed bed. Septic tank wildflower bed showing some new colors. It looks really weedy from a distance, but there are flower stems in progress. It is getting there.
Tomato cages, flower hoops/rings. Should be able to find something at your farm and garden store (agway or similar)
I have some of these flower stakes that I use for peonies. They are unobtrusive as well as easily moved and stored. You can probably find them cheaper, that was just the first ad I saw of these exact stakes.
And move around they do! I have a quiver of those. They get used for anything needing support. Currently, a few puliing the cohosh away from a garden pathway. My stargazers are all budding out. Some shorter ones get stacked. Some other groupings need something more robust. So a t-post and coated wire get deployed.
Three different day lilies - each in a different garden area Little Business - a shorter variety that is planted in the front of the shrub garden Purple D'Oro, an offshoot from Stella D'Oro, in the driveway garden This huge yellow day lily has no name (I don't know if it didn't have a tag, or I lost it). This is in the shade garden and each year I forget it is there until, SURPRISE, there are humongous, bright flowers.
Yup. They spread. Border line invasive, some might say. That patch gets filtered light for most of the day. Maybe an hour of direct sunlight this time of year.
I got a couple new additions today. I'll need to take pics tomorrow. Got 2 dwarf Cavendish Banana trees and a cat palm. Added to the rest of the patio greenery, these are really nice. My favorite is the $5 Mandeville trellis that I scored. It's doing awesome. The Jasmine is about to blow up with flowers too.
