Jupiter's Beard (Centranthus ruber) |
Prev Dead Zone |
Z5 next to the garage. These lived for many years and were so jolly. I don't think there is a single one left. | |
 |
Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) |
Prev Dead Zone |
Z5: By the spirea & lamb's ears. Planted at the back, near the garage wall. It never amounted to anything, while the other one has thrived. Spring 2019, pulled out the dead stalk. | |
 |
Clematis (Clematis recta Serious Black™) |
Prev Dead Zone |
Corner: This was by the lilac and came up OK. It got hammered by hail and heavy rain (as a baby) and I hoped it would come back, but alas. | |
 |
Tickseed (Coreopsis Big Bang™ Mercury Rising) |
Prev Dead Zone |
Z5: By the porch 2019: Can't find it |
|
 |
Threadleaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata 'Zesty Zinger') |
Prev Dead Zone |
Corner: 2018 planted from bareroot. It came up and looked fine and then we got a rain/hail deluge. It didn't make it. | |
 |
Brass Buttons (Cotula squalida 'Platt's Black') |
Prev Dead Zone |
Rocks. These are looking sad. The tag on these always says "for between stepping stones" I find that hard to picture since they seem to dry up wherever I try them. They are real pretty. 2018- the one at the far east end is alive. Update: The damn gophers decided to move into the rock garden. They're gone. |
|
 |
Little Pickles (Crassothonna capensis) |
Prev Dead Zone |
2018 Planted 3 of these in the rock garden. None of them made it through the winter. Too bad - they were really cute. | |
 |
Sedum (Crassula pellucida subsp. marginalis 'Petite Bicolor') |
Prev Dead Zone |
Rocks: Planted 2018 - 2 plants, back part of steps section They didn't make it through the first winter. |
|
 |
Daphne |
Prev Dead Zone |
I had this in the Z5 garden for a few years. It never got very big, but it was NOID, so maybe it was a small cultivar. It smelled wonderful, but was short-lived. | |
 |
Ice Plant (Delosperma floribundum 'Stardust') |
Prev Dead Zone |
I haven't had much luck with any ice plant coming back in the spring. I don't think they appreciate being buried under all that roof snow all winter. 2019: I did manage to get a few going from seed. 5 planted in the rocks. 2020: None of them made it through the winter. |
|
 |
Tufted Hair Grass (Deschampsia cespitosa 'Northern Lights') |
Prev Dead Zone Grasses |
I don't have much luck with this grass. I've planted at least 3 of them and they haven't been long-lived for me. I had 2 by the GH, but I had to dig the whole section up due to neglect. I didn't see them anywhere. | |
 |
Pinks (Dianthus Cosmic™ Pink Swirl) |
Prev Dead Zone |
This was a really pretty one - GH. Woke up dead one spring. | |
 |
Carnation (Dianthus Devon Cottage™ Blushing Maiden) |
Prev Dead Zone |
2022: Was on the south side of the GH. Had to dig up the whole area. I didn't find it. | |
 |
Pink (Dianthus chinensis) |
Have Aspen Here & There Rocks Dead Zone |
Aspen: These decided to be here all on their own, growing out of the lawn at the foot of the stairs, kind of mixed in with the creeping thyme. H&T: Under the sumac and into the lawn. Rocks: I didn't plant them here either, but they brighten things up while in bloom. 2020: There are really a lot of these here now. I think they're jolly so they can mostly all stay. Z5: These were around the circle, but I don't see them anymore. |
|
 |
White Fringed Bleeding-heart (Dicentra eximia 'Snowdrift') |
Prev Dead Zone |
Front. This did well for a number of years before it got crowded out by the darmera and other thugs | |
 |
Sea Holly (Eryngium planum) |
Have Crabapple Front Bank Dead Zone |
Gone from the Corner. Not sure if there's any left in the CA garden either. | |
 |
Euphorbia Excalibur |
Prev Dead Zone |
Z5: This was growing in the dry area and was doing really well - big and robust. Then it woke up dead. Conflicting zone information | |
 |
Euphorbia (Euphorbia x martini Tiny Tim) |
Have Dead Zone |
Z5: 2018 Planted in the circle, by the siberian iris. 2020 it's gone | |
 |
Persian Fritillary (Fritillaria persica) |
Prev Dead Zone |
Corner: These were really pretty - deep, dark purple bells. | |
 |
Blanket Flower (Gaillardia pulchella) |
Prev Dead Zone |
Z5: These were at the end of the garage for years. They're gone now and I miss them. |
