And no work, except cutting the bloom stalks down in late summer when they have set seed, and sprinkling the seed around some unkempt area in hopes they will take hold. I hope the new red and yellow ones will come true to seed, apparently Columbines are notorious for hybridizing. As for Rhodies, I have a bunch planted by the Previous Owner (PO) but can't really warm up to them much because the blooms are so short-lived then leave hundreds or thousands of little woody bloom structures to dead-head before the next winter, a chore I don't find welcome. I have cut some back inside to reveal the twisty branches, which are kind of fun.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-12565381735166846782012-05-17T06:38:05.175-07:002012-05-17T06:38:05.175-07:00Oh my, that rhododendron is striking!
