Foxglove and Knockout Roses

Up early this a.m. trying to get active before the snakes on this cool morning. I purchased two purple foxgloves last night and found, hopefully a suitable home for them. Moisture is the big issue in the hot summer

I've tried without success to start these plants by seed indoors and outdoors. I finally said the heck with it and purchased some. Hope to have them around in my garden for a while since they are suppose to self seed. I have hummingbirds that visit regularly. I think they are going to enjoy this plant. I know the bumble bees will.


I think I have all the colors of the Knock Out Rose that is available. I added the double pink this morning and the yellow one which is super fragrant, last week. These Knock Outs have become the work horses of my garden.

As I say each year, I am running out of space for more plants. But I am going on a major purchasing run on May 6th to my favorite nursery. I will get some red coreopsis and hopefully a pink Angel Trumpet. I say major because the Angel Trumpets and coreopsis cost alot.

As always, keep an eye out for photos of my garden.
