Plants to plant and pretty pictures

Does this make y'all tired? LOL. I went shopping in celebration of getting my gardens mulched. My goal is to get all these in the ground this week. I'm really excited about finding a compact buddleia (Nanho Purple-bought 2) and two Russian sages, Longin and Little Spire. Little Spire is supposed to stay around 2 feet and Longin is supposed to be more upright. I bought 3 of each to spread around my beds to provide some cohesion.

This is Euphorbia x martinii 'Ascot Rainbow.' I finally took the plunge and spent the $4 to try a euphorbia.

What a haul! Looks like I see some clematis in one box at the back right?

These should fill in some of that open space.

Be aware that some russian sages spread quite a bit. I would check out your particular varieties so be sure to allow enough room.

Happy planting!

Thanks everyone. I'm behind schedule naturally, but having fun regardless. It's really an amazing feeling to be able to go out and just plant instead of feel guilty about needing to weed/mulch/edge.

Glenda, yes those are clematis. Good eye! One is Huldine, a large white one and the others are a couple of different styles of purple ones.

Christie, that's a heuchera (Cassandra) that I got at the garden center in front of Dillon's on Sunshine in Springfield.

Helen, you're right! I did have fun. :D
