Checked out the Autumn Jazz Arrowwood Viburnum [Viburnum dentatum ‘Ralph Senior’] which had been pushed down by the heavy rains this past weekend and noticed that one of the branches had been split. Cut off this and one other branch.
Pruned the Russian Sage [Perovskia atriplicifolia]. The smaller Russian Sage next to this was dead.
Weeded about half of the Sedum / Iris bed. There was no evidence of some of the plants that were added the past 2 years. For example, there was no sign of the 3 Arizona Sunset Agastache [Agastache ‘Arizona Sunset’] planted last year. There were a couple of small swigs of Yarrow where there were 3 large 3 Strawberry Seduction Yarrows [Achillea millefolium ‘Strawberry Seduction’] last year. Not sure whether the problem was the weeds or the flooding that occurred during the Winter.
Almost all of the weeds were Violets [Viola papilionacea], Showy Evening Primrose [Oenothera speciosa], Yellow Nutsedge [Cyperus esculentus] and Daisies (Oxeye Daisies [Leucanthemum vulgare]???).
There is a patch of plants on the upper left of the photo which contains some Showy Evening Primroses. The leaves are similar to those of the Daisies but the root structure is different.
Found several outlets one of which was damaged.
