Mine is a work in progress here in SW Portland. I have a variety of grasses, mules ear, orange poppies (which self-sow), oregon sunshine, meadow checkermallow, blue gilia, and camas lilies. Around the margins (at street/on paths) I have cultivated plants. So far so good but the poppies are so prolific (with no effort, I will add) that they do threaten to take everything else over. I got all of the natives from the annual Sparrowhawk sale. The back of the meadow is bordered by some native ceanothus I got from Xera. And because my meadow is quite dry and I aim to never water it, I have lots of little succulents as ground cover. The worst weeds I get are hairy vetch which is a bit easy to spot and pull out. |
