What's Blooming in September

By LarryR
September 15, 2011

This article is the second in a new series at All Things Plants. On the 15th of each month I'll highlight plants blooming here at Cottage-in-the-Meadow Gardens. I'll have photos and will discuss the plants featured. You're invited to discuss these plants, too, but just as important, you're encouraged to show us what's blooming in your garden each month. There is also a monthly contest called "Name that Bloom." The first person to correctly identify the plant will have a photo of his/her choice published and featured the following month. Be sure to check out this month's mystery flower at the end of this article.

I've tried several times. but no leaves ever emerge. I did get one tiny stunted bloom one time, but that's it. Although hederifolium is said to be hardy to zone 5a (I'm on the border between a&b), I suspect that our winters are just too cold.

They do well planted under evergreens, seems to provide them extra protection.

Wouldn't you know it, that's exactly where I had planted them! I think my green thumb is starting to turn brown. Big Grin
