Garden Report: August 2020

August was all a blur. It was a tough month for our plants – our hydrangeas did not like the heat and dry spells, our grass was turning brown, and our tomatoes just gave up on us. The plants that did enjoy the heat were our cannas and hibiscus. Here are a few photos of our happy plants for the month of August.

“Summerific” berry hibiscus. Still going strong, the numerous hibiscus plants throughout our garden have been blooming continuously. They have huge 8” flowers and grows only about 4’ tall and 5’ wide. These grow well in moist soil. Perfect for us, as we have wetlands around the house.
