MY AUGUST GARDEN: RUSSIAN SAGE AND CARLY ROSE GRASS

This month I've been sharing images of my garden.
There are links to the previous garden features at the end of this post if you missed them.

I have Russian Sage in several places in my garden, but its happiest location is along the sidewalk under the Limelight Hydrangea.

The bees love the Russian Sage.

If you look through the Russian Sage you'll see my Carly Rose Grass in the upper right corner.

RUSSIAN SAGE AND CARLY ROSE GRASS

I'll admit that grasses can become very invasive.  I had several Carly Rose grasses in the front garden.  I moved all but this one to the back yard.  I'll also admit that every Spring I divide the grass in half so it stays a manageable size. 

CARLY ROSE GRASS FILLING THE CURVE IN THE SIDEWALK

 I love the way it fills the curve of the sidewalk and sways in front of the porch.
