Dirt on the Keys

A plant geek sweats over, swears at, and celebrates in his own gardens
Tags >> Callicarpa
My streetside bed of beauty-berry interplanted with Spring bulbs is at its Spring peak.
But silly me, I still hadn't cut the beautyberry down to the ground. The beauty of the white dafs was "static'd" by the endless but thin branches from the interplanted callicarpa.
They get cut own to only an inch or two. Really low: the clump in the center is now dwarfed not just by the daffodils at the upper right the right, but by the clump of muscari to the upper left.
Now all the bulbs are free of callicarpa "static": They're the Spring show, loud and clear.
Even from the other side of the street.
