The Money Plants are so prolific here on Cape Cod this time of the year. They make a pretty display of pinks and purples along the roadsides. I stopped the other morning on my bike ride and took this photograph. I really liked the fence and fence post with the purple flowers. What do you think?
Out of curiosity… does anyone know how to grow these plants? I have collected seeds for years and planted them in my yard, but they don’t seem to grow. Any suggestions?
How frustrating that a wild plant that grows in abundance refuses to cooperate in a garden!
Having no talent for plants, I can only suggest consulting The Google and local garden shops.
Do these very pretty blooms become silvery “coins” later in the season?
Yes, they look like silvery coins later in the summer. I would like to throw some around our wooded yard for some color, not even for a garden, just as an accent.
