I'm looking for more height in the back of my beds.
The tallest thing I have is thalictrum (meadow rue) which is 4 ft tall right now.
What other early height plants do you suggest?
Is Joe Pye weed 4 ft tall now?
Is there a Heliopsis that is 4 ft by now? Mine is H. 'Summer Nights' 3 1/2 ft and has powdery mildew issues by fall so not thinking I'm going to keep it .
My tallest siberian iris is only 3 1/2 ft now as well.
If there are no other options maybe I'll move lilium back there but I prefer them closer to my nose! he he he :)
This picture has nothing to do with my post. I just thought I'd share it. It is Heritage Canyon, Fulton, IL
Hi Cheerpeople!
I'm just getting back into gardens/flowers myself after quite a few yrs, so I don't really have any suggestions. I've just started planting perennials this year, so mine are 'babies'. We used to have Pampas Grass along our property borderlines and they seemed like they came back after cutting back fairly quickly every year. The only other thing we have now is azalea bushes, and they've been here for years (I just moved here in 2008), so I'm not sure how old they really are.
Anyway, just wanted to comment on your picture. For some reason, I started taking pictures of old churches that we find out on our roadtrips and this one fits right in with them! The old country churches that were built by tradespeople, farmers and the congregational members seem to have the most charm. Alot of them are abandoned for new and bigger, it seems and alot of the history is lost. Thanks for adding it in!
