Planting


Most of the weekend it rained, now the sun is thankfully out again. Today I planted these little plants in a hanging basket on the back terrace. I hope they enjoy their new home.

They will enjoy their new home- for sure!
Have a lovely summertime, Katja!
oh sweet! Man, I miss my garden sooo much!
Super Sweet, can you tell us the kind of plant?
I am almost positive from the pictures that the plants are “licorice plant” (common name) also called “trailing Dusty Milller.” The Latin name is helichrysum petiolare. Besides this sage-y silver (a little darker when wet) they also come in lime green. They look great in window boxes or any containers because grow downwards (“trailing”) like ivy, but, to me, they’re nicer because they aren’t so commonly seen.
Tuolla helichrysum petiolare -nimikkeellä löysin suomenkielisen nimen tuolle kasville, eli se on Hopeakäpälä. Voi talvettaa yli 2 asteen lämmössä ja ottaa maaliskuussa pistokkaita, eli lisätä kasvia. On kyllä hauskan näköinen kasvi! :)
