Imperata

Japanese blood grass - I’m working on creating an undulating swathe either side of the steps on our slope border. I started with 2 plants 3 years ago and it’s now almost covering the area as planned. Next year should do it.
Another day weeding, deadheading and cutting back the foliage of bearded irises into a fan shape which should reduce wind rock over the winter and looks neat. Geranium Salome, which is a massively sprawling spreader, has been lifted into a large pot as it takes up so much space in the border. I’m hoping it will be more effective, with foliage and flowers cascading down the sides of the pots.
Watered the pots after lunch then it rained.
