The Golden Stargazers reached 7 feet this year. It must be the 100% compost they are planted in. One bud cluster was so heavy (about 8 pods) it broke and flopped over. It didn't kill the blooms so I left it in place.
Monarda (Bee Balm) is in peak bloom. We had an extremely heavy rain storm and it knocked most of the bed over. It smothered some phlox, lysmachia and echinacea but I let it go. On the left you see how tall it is, the middle open and the rest laying on its side. It still looks nice.
The Phlox and Crocosmia were attacked by a #(@*&$#%$ groundhog. They devoured our veggies and other plants. Nothing is more frustrating than working all year just to have a critter eat and trample your plants.
