SEPTEMBER IN THE GARDEN II How things survived two long dry spells this summer

Come take a tour of my garden in September. It's been a tough summer, as far as rain goes. There wasn't a lot of it and certain plants have paid the price, while others have thrived. Let me know in the Comments section how your garden fared this summer!

We are in our third summer of what is now "extreme drought". For the first 2 months I watered frantically, but everything I watered died. I finally just gave up. Native plants (heliopsis, echinacea, Joe Pye Weed, black-eyed Susans and blue mist flower) did well without supplemental water. Japanese anemones are just blooming away. My newer daylilies all died, while the historic ones bloomed well.

@@SMElder-iy6fl Like you, I also watered during this summer's first drought, then also gave up. I'm glad to hear that your native plants did well! There's something to be said for planting native varieties. Sorry to hear about your new daylillies. Fingers crossed for more rain next summer!
