Spiderwort in the Rain Garden on July 27th, 2012

Our maintenance chore is shown above.  Having performed beautifully in spring, this spiderwort has completed it's bloom cycle and now the browned out stems can be removed.  Next spring tiny shoots will emerge to become the two foot beauty that blooms for many weeks and adds a nice contrast to the red drooping bell-shaped blooms of the wild columbine.
