August in the garden can feel like nothing but weeds, weeds, weeds! So it's especially nice to take time to enjoy what's blooming right now:
The last of the daylilies:
 |
| Hemerocallis 'Hyperion' |
The not-quite-ready-for-prime-time sedum:
 |
| Sedum 'Autumn Joy' One of my clients refers to these as "those plants that look like broccoli" |
And the still going strong coneflowers:
 |
| Echinacea 'White Swan' |
 |
| Ratibida columnifera |
Looking fabulous right now are the bluemist spirea and butterfly bush:
 |
| Caryopteris x clandonensis |
 |
| Buddleia davidii 'Dark Knight' |
 |
| Buddleia davidii 'Nanho Blue' This compact form has a finer texture and silvery foliage. |
Nearing the peak of perfection is the grass garden:
 |
| Switch grass (Panicum virgatum) left, and little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium). |
 |
| Buffalo grass (Bucheloe dactyloides) swirls through the taller plants. |
 |
| A tiny visitor... |
