How are my plants six weeks on?

I put most of my plants in six weeks ago. That was documented in yesterday's post. So how are my plants doing after six weeks of warm fall weather?

The happiest plants are definitely the silver ponyfoot. It is starting to grow in volume and send some runners out. I built the rock border on the curb and driveway in the hope that the silver pony foot will drape over it and get a nice color contrast with the limestone.

The indigo spires are also really happy. They have put on a few stalks and grown a ton of leaves. They are getting so top heavy that they flop over.

RIP ghost plant. Blue, the neighbor dog, demolished one of my tiny ghost plants with one strike of his paw. There are still two ghost plants growing. One has a beautiful shape and purple color, and the other is struggling along. One concern I have for them is that my Eat Austin soil might not drain quickly enough for them, and the roots will rot. We'll see, and I'll update.

Happy ghost plant.

Struggling ghost plant.

 Gopher plants seem to be a little bit larger, but not much action there. I'm just glad they are alive.

Gopher plant seems like it's happy, but I'm not too sure.

I got my lindheimer muhly's for a dollar on sale at Barton Springs nursery. They did not look so hot when I bought them, but they were cheap. Still not looking too hot now, but there is the occasional hint of green. Hopefully all the action is happening below the ground, and it is establishing itself. If they doesn't make it, no big loss. I bought 3 for whopping $3.

Not so happy lindheimer muhly.

My berkeley sedge and firecracker fern look about the same as when I planted them. I'm glad they're not dead, but I hope they start to put on some size eventually.

I got these blue grey sedges (back corner of the garden) (can't seem to find much about it online) for cheap on sale at Barton Springs Nursery with the lindheimer muhly. It was also not in peak condition. It does not appear to have a changed at all since planting. Same size, no color difference. I hope it takes off eventually, because it's got a great color. The fire bush has done well. It was really thirsty for the first few weeks. The leaves would get really limp, so I watered it a lot. That surprised me since I read they are very drought tolerant. Since we got the rain a few weeks ago, I haven't watered it, and it looks happy, so I think this one is doing well now.

Blue grey sedge is plodding along, but fire bush seems to be doing well.

That's pretty much it. I also planted some Turk's cap, American beauty berry, and coral honeysuckle in the backyard, but I'll a separate update on those later.
