Growing Zone 7b USA - Murray, KY
It's September and time to show our blooms over at Carol J. Michel's Blog. Come join me and take a look at my September blooms.
Growing on the Porch
Impatients
The Impatients on our back deck are still giving us lots of color and the butterflies enjoy the nectar.
Begonia
Geranium
Pots Along the Back Walk
Lantana
Another plant still blooming is Lantana. Happy that I used red and yellow lantana in my pots in the spring because those colors work perfect for fall.
This lantana was in my shop all winter and survived. We use grow lights and some heat to get the plants through the winter.
Another pollinator enjoying a drink on the lantana.
Cannas
A yellow bloom is on my canna plants in September. I have Cannas in pots that bloom in yellow and red.
Mandeville
The blooms are getting scarce on my Mandeville plant in September. I got a quick shot of a hummingbird moth on one of the blooms. They move very quickly once done drinking.
I need to get this plant moved to the shop for the winter. Once the nighttime temps start to drop a little, it is time to get them inside for the winter.
Growing in the Beds
Knockout Roses
Our knockouts are still blooming in the front sidewalk area. They should bloom through late October or early November. Frost will take care of the blooms then we will cut them way back.
Little Lime Hydrangea
A couple of new blooms are on my Little Lime Hydrangea that we moved to one of the Sunny Sidewalk beds in the backyard so it would get more sunlight.
That's it for my September blooms. Happy gardening - Judy.
