Cait's Garden

Or should I say scalping? I just performed the first big deadheading operations of the summer on my perennials. It can be a sobering thing. Some of my salvia now look like they survived a tiny bomb blast. Most of the time, nearby perennials now in bloom pick up the slack. But I discovered one area where I need some later season camouflage, stat! Coneflowers will do the trick, I think. They are such sturdy leafy plants and their flowers last forever. Best yet, no deadheading needed. To the garden center!
