I put a bunch of perennial seedlings in the ground last week and then we ended up getting a couple inches of snow and I was so sad thinking they’d be goners - but I checked on them today and they’re completely fine!! Picking plants that are adapted to your environment will never steer you wrong <3
(Pictured are Thermopsis and Cleome seedlings growing in front of some flowering Linum lewisii we put in last year)
Transplanted my perennial seedlings today ! I’m growing Penstemon grandiflorus, Penstemon strictus, Ratibida columnifera, Thermopsis caroliniana, Monarda citriodora, and Helenium hoopesii ! (there will inevitably be more bc I have no control 🤗)
I usually buy plants and flowers already somewhat mature. But got these $1 marigold seeds from the hardware store and they sprouted within 7 days. Now I spend mornings checking on my babies. proud mama!
