Tricky day :( - one  where the whole plant placement strategy thing has a hard time coming together. Main target areas were: north hillside bed, addition room bed, and west wall bed.  Started out good as I left work; plucked another healthy butterfly bush out from beside some railroad tracks, got it home and in the ground. I figured it would look nice by my compost pile and it does! Next, I addressed the culvert area of the north bed , which is a cut away portion of the hillside where outlet is from SE house downspout and driveway drain. This extends from where the newly planted butterfly bush is, another 10' to the main part of the bed, which extends all the way west to the NW corner of the property. I began by moving further away the baby spruce and evergreen euonymus that were occupying the space, and decided to move our two rhododendrons there from the west wall bed. This was a good idea, because the rhodies were not getting enough sun in their former locations, as many I'd seen around the area were in full bloom while mine had zero. I spaced them 5' apart and moved on to placing the new hydrangeas. As usual, I had to figure out how to do this based on hardiness and sun needs. First off, I'm not that huge on lacecaps but I so far enjoy the upright growth habit. To this end, I decided to put it in a 3 gallon deco pot for the first season, where it will reside at the front of my porch slab and receive midday shade from our big maple tree. I then decided to place the Ramsey hydrangea between the two rhodies where it will receive moderate sun. The Charm will also receive moderate sun at the NW corner of the addition room, but may need winter protection.
