I have a bunch of these low-growing plants in the front row of the memory garden, all started from seed in 2018. They put on a remarkable flower show in June, but then the hundreds of flower stems with seeds turn brown and look pretty miserable unless I find time to clip them all off.

I’ll work to get some better photos of these intricate blooms and the plants, as well, in 2020. I fed them in early spring with an organic mix and I’m hoping I’ll find the time to snip all the dead stems off come July.
