Planted Redshift coreopsis and rearranged some heucheras last night and weeded here and there. The coreopsis is a trial plant from Skagit Gardens. On the tag it looks like it has a maroon ring around the center, so I planted it near the purple smoke bush. But in the accompanying literature it is pictured with a bright red ring. So it might not complement the smoke bush. I’ll let you know. The weeding was totally random: every time I saw one I felt like pulling out, I did. No rhyme or reason, and plenty left for another day. Raining again now. All the rearranged plants are getting a good start in their new homes.
Planting Coreopis and Rearranged Heucheras

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

I planted Redshift coreopsis last year (got it from the NY Botanical Garden) and that “ring” in the middle turned out to be a mixture of shades of red to maroon, with each flower being slightly different. Some of the petals also looked almost spotted or streaked. Definitely an interesting plant. Mine wouldn’t have gone well with a smoke bush.
