Turning Lawn into Meadow


First, I chose a small section of lawn and mowed it as short as possible.



Next, I removed grass from three areas to plant 50 agastache (anise hyssop) deep plugs. I also began covering parts of the lawn to kill grass and weeds near the plants.


I was impressed by the quality of the plants I bought from Izel Native Plants, an online supplier recommended by the Mount Cuba Center.


Made space for two black adder agastache plants we had in pots. 


We want to see how the agastache fares before adding grasses and other plants to the meadow. I will to continue to cover the grass around the plants to prepare for spring plantings.
