You won’t be rushing home from work to check on how these plants are holding up on a hot, dry summer day. Just forget about them.<\/p>\n

Aeonium with a nice, snaky curve, ballota, sedum, golden sedge, and a little pelargonium with tiny white flowers, similar to the scented geranium known as the “nutmeg geranium,” really all species pelargoniums. New purchase from Robin Parer’s nursery Geraniaceae, Pelargonium x fragrans ‘Joanne’s Spring Clover.’

These little scented pelargoniums are as tough (but as tender) as succulents.<\/p>\n

\nThe woody undergrowth of this old stand of ballota (top photo, on the left) was cleaned out last fall and just a few rooted stems left in place to rejuvenate the evergreen planting. There’s a non-plush, pale green variety called ‘All Hallows Green’ (now Marrubium bourgae) selected by Valerie Finnis that’s just as wonderful as a small, textural, herbaceous evergreen, or subshrub as they’re often referred to. I’ve always thought my ballota was B. acetabulosa, but I think it’s sold interchangeably as B. pseudodictamnus. Photo references seem to show the same plant, the Grecian Horehound or false dittany. Hardy to 0-10 F.<\/p>\n
