Wednesday’s Words

A native Dusty Miller growing in the beach sand

It could be a #WordlessWednesday with just this image of a native Dusty Miller growing in the beach sand. But when you see something living in such austere conditions, it’s a perfect opportunity to pull from the trusty, dusty archives again. So pull up your beach chair and peruse through these two posts - Plants for Sizzling Occasions  and Five tips for the Heat. Sorry to burst the summer bubble but fall planting weather will be coming up before you know it. So think drought-tolerant, resilient, sustainable plant material yet beautiful…while you enjoy the rest of these hazy summer days on the sand. 

As Jorge Luis Borges once said, "Nothing is built on stone; all is built on sand, but we must build as if the sand were stone." When considering your fall plantings, drought-tolerant, resilient, sustainable it should be.
