I took these pictures in July and I'm finally getting them on. This is an older Hibiscus that I have had for years. Not sure of its name, but beautiful this year. This plant is over 6 feet.
I love this grass! It's called Golden Japanese Forest Grass. It says it's deer resistant. Thankfully I don't have that problem! Mid summer, this gets a touch of pink on the stems. It has been slow growing, but I've managed to divide it and now have two. The geranium on the far right is one that I pulled last year and over wintered in the garage. Just pull them out and shake off the dirt. Put them in a plastic bag and hang them up till about February. When you take them out of the bag you will probably see some new growth. I clean off some of the dead stems and then put them in water. Plant them in potting soil after a week or so.
I can usually bring back 2 out of 3 plants. We are a zone 5 here ( or maybe close to a zone 6 ) so it's pretty cold in the garage. Something to do in the winter, and it's nice to see something flowering!
