perennials – Kihaku-Gato's Garden Blog (tumblr import)

Beebalms, Hibiscus, Hemerocallis, and Milkweeds oh my.

Purple coneflower and Blackeyed Susan. Two classic staples in the summer gardenscape

So many gorgeous flowers were at Canadian Tire this summer.

Some of the hardier of perennials at that too.

Some wildened Garden Phlox (Phlox paniculata).
Too wild for the garden, but wild enough to dominate some grassy zones.

~~I’m still weeding their remnants in the woodland garden tbh. Lil too tenacious they be.~~

Spring Flowers/flowerbuds in the greenhouse

2nd year Alpine Strawberry (2 cultivars, though tempted to sell them together as a “mix” due to messed up labels), Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum), Canadian Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) and Foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia).

Talk about fast pace to maturity. These are definitely at selling size so this is the year I’ll be trying to sell them off. Whether its to another nursery or to interested gardeners. Of course I plan to keep 3 of each (except the strawberries) species so that I can propagate from my own stock in the future.
