The problem with Veronica...

I'm totally jealous.

Thanks.

I find perennials very easy. Esp. since I can't seem to grow veggies.

My secrets? First, soil prep, use good amendments. Then, get easy care/hardy/ non invasive stuff. If it can't make it through winter on it's own, forget it. If they don't mind their manners and stay relatively contained in their alloted space, I won't put it in, or I rip it out. The only care they really get is regular water, occasional weeding, maybe one, maybe two shearings a season,( only certain ones) and the occasional dig up and divide. Notice I said occasional. I'm slowly filling the beds with the babies that are made out there.

Those pics are actually pretty old. I've added a natives area, and a hummingbird area.

I also get the best plants I can. We have a lovely nursery around here that has very high quality plants, and not the usual stuff. I maybe have at least 7 varieties of hardy geranium.
