IT'S OCTOBER AND I STILL HAVE GARDEN BLOOMS!

 I can't believe how good the garden looks this late in the season.  The house is wrapped in Hydrangeas, Sedum, Russian Sage, Lantana and Vinca. 

HYDRANGEA, VINCA,  RUSSIAN SAGE,  LANTANA AND SEDUM WRAP AROUND THE HOUSE

 

I don't understand it, but the deer haven't decimated the sedum.

Don't miss the bees on the sedum.

BEES LOVING SEDUM

The praying mantis is loving the Lantana.

IT'S NOT LAVENDER

 For years I tried to grow lavender with no success.  Then I discovered Russian Sage.  It is a no fuss so easy to grow perennial.  It can be invasive, but it has a pleasant scent and grows even when it's ignored, thirsty, and in poor soil.  

I brought some inside.  I placed some in my linen closet, in a vase in the foyer, and in a tortoise shell jar in the kitchen.  Sharing the kitchen sprigs.

DOESN'T IT LOOK LIKE LAVENDER?

HAVE YOU HAD ANY LUCK GROWING LAVENDER?
