BBG Plant Sale Spoils
So, as promised, I attended the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Plant Sale last night--member's only preview at that.
And as expected, it was a complete and total freakout. Carts of plants falling over, nowhere to move, people lunging at plants, the works. People are crazy, me included. I made it out alive and without breaking the bank--spent about half what I have in previous years, having made the decision to spend on perennials to maximize my return investment, as well as on some quality annuals. The grasses I can buy at Lowe's or Home Depot.
Seeing all these people buy all these plants, or even TREES, made me think of the little Edens they have squirelled away behind their brownstones...and made me crumble with envy. Whatever.
So, the list includes, but is not limited to:
Magilla Perilla Vanilla--had a Magilla a couple seasons ago and it got huge, loved it. High hopes for this.
Similar Coleus variety, apparently gets to 3'. We'll see.
Some Cosmos--hoping they'll self-seed
A Columbine...I think
Some million bells petunias. love these.
A clover like thing with black accents, low-growing
A bright green low-growing thing with white flowers
A small hanging plant that the BBG woman had never seen. Purple Bells. High hopes for this if I can keep it watered.
Lewisia--saw this at the farmer's market. Perennial that has vaguely succulent looking foliage. Pink blooms.
A couple Confetti Lantana, because I love this plant and always have them. Magical. But they do smell.
A couple Phlox. Saw these in the neighborhood and wondered why I didn't have them. Pink and candy stripe. Fun.
