As I water the two Russian Sage plants, the softest sage fragrance is sent forth; it's delightful. I discovered that these plants start growing from the base every spring, and once they start, they make fast progress. I think these plants will start shooting out their flowery lavender spears pretty soon.
Hopefully, the plants survived last night's hail and onslaught of rain. My geraniums are a little worse for wear this morning but should bounce back.
ReplyDeleteI need to fertilize my pots too. thanks for the reminder. Love the coral colors
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmm...is that the kind of sage you can cook with?
ReplyDeleteRussian Sage, I think, is used a lot in boulevard plantings because it's sturdy and pretty. We've taken to pots here, too, thanks to the voracious bunnies; Dick took down the fence around the dianthus which had about 8 blooms and within 24 hours all were gone. I couldn't believe it! Needles to say, the fence is back up.
ReplyDeleteoh, I hope I have a garden someday! Or at least a little patio/balcony to grow pretty potted flowers. These are lovely and I love the scent of sage ...
ReplyDeleteHappy July to you!
