The prairie in mid November

That must be as good as any other time of year. It looks really lovely.

Wow, hasn't it matured!! (Well I guess its not surprising after all this time - how long is it now since you began it?

Stera - it was planted at the end of February in 2016

that has really settled well. you must be very pleased with it Andrew.

Sbg - the really good thing is that's incredibly low maintenance. It gets cut down in January (it's underplanted with bulbs), and a mulch of woodchip applied. That's about it, although I do deadhead knautia and coreopsis to keep them flowering
