There were about 8 seedlings in the winter sowing container. I just wasn’t sure what to do with them since they can grow quite tall (4 to 6 feet). They are native plants that attract and feed butterflies and other beneficial insects, so I had to find a place for them in BBB. They were planted out in a space between the small Chasmanthe plants, back against the fence on the right side of the front. Since the Chasmanthe corms will have to be dug for the winter, anyway, this spot should be fine. The container is now empty.
