Over time, plants can succumb to the hard life on the streets. In this case, we were looking for plants to replace the dozens killed when a homeless encampment set fire to an area down at PRG. We got a nice load to start us off:
6 Santolina chamaecyparissus (Lavender Cotton) - awesome plant. if you remember to prune it back hard in winter. Ahem...
5 Phlomis lanata (Woolly Jerusalem Sage - pictured) - a new species of this genus that does so well for us
10 Euphorbia characias ssp. wulfenii
3 Agave parryi - a new kind for us - we have the A. parryi truncata everywhere, but these have longer leaves
5 Agave palmeri subsp. chrysantha - another new species, and one that pups a lot. Meaning: lots of freebies fir us!
We'll plant these next weekend. Can't wait.
