For a while, it looked like it was going to be a much bigger deal, and I kept thinking about the furniture I left out on the deck and the screenhouse still set up outside in my Maine garden. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-23358194169101346472010-09-10T07:56:33.054-03:002010-09-10T07:56:33.054-03:00Oh, that Sungold buddleia pulled at my heart-strin...Oh, that Sungold buddleia pulled at my heart-strings Jodi. My grandmother gave me a cutting from hers just before she moved out of her home and sadly, because it was the peak of a very hot summer it didn't survive. I haven't seen it anywhere else around here, so it is lovely to at least be able to see it looking so lovely in your garden!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-87906272992714147882010-09-09T01:55:52.261-03:002010-09-09T01:55:52.261-03:00I worried about all you east coasters and this thi...I worried about all you east coasters and this thing called Earl.

Russian sage is a great plant. You could always take hardwood cuttings from it to bring into a frost sheltered place (garage/shed) for next year. Around here I can just stick hardwood branches in the ground for it and they will root.Dave@TheHomeGardenhttp://www.GrowingTheHomeGarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-78124830497078902182010-09-08T09:57:15.652-03:002010-09-08T09:57:15.652-03:00So glad you are ok and your garden not too battere...So glad you are ok and your garden not too battered.<br /><br />I haven't come across the yellow buddleia before. It looks lovely. The ordinary purple / blueish-pinky kinds are rampant round here, edging themselves into every crack-in-a-brick space.<br /><br />I have a spiraea for the first time this year.

(I've not kept up on the news lately...) Glad that you were for the most part unaffected.<br /><br />I love that Echinacea's color! My favorite is 'Hot Papaya' as well. I planted it earlier this summer and love how it changes so much from start of bloom to finish.

It certainly is a striking butterfly bush. I'm happy, too, to have finally had some verbena bonansienarus come up this year; I've noticed even the hummingbirds like it. Glad to hear that Earl didn't cause you any damage.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-42249464272193203182010-09-08T07:00:26.336-03:002010-09-08T07:00:26.336-03:00I have not seen the sungold buddleia.

I have tried it a couple of times but have no luck with it coming back. Hmmmmm Maybe I will do as you do with some of these and just treat it as an annual. I do love those blue flowers during fall.
