Japanese anenemone









I have Japanese anemone scattered all over my garden .They are flowering for few days now.Pink and white ,about four feet tall ,they add color and height to a fall garden. Anemone are drought tolerant and can grow in a poor soil so are perfect for a tough side.Full sun or part shade they love it all .
It takes about two years for Anemone to start to run a little but you can always remove little ones in the spring 0r plant them where they have plenty of
room to grow.They are one of my favorite and wordy to be in every garden.

Origanum rotundifolium "Kent Beauty"



It took me few years to find this plant It is just an oregano but what a beautiful oregano it is. . Origanum is a low growing, spreading plant, and looks like a mini shrub.Papery pink brackets are shaped somewhat like the flower of the hope plant .Colors change from pink to mauve, to almost purple. It is drought tolerant, and to much water or moist soil we kill it.
Perfect plant for the rockery, rock walls and hot sunny places.
