​Good morning, I am confused.  Weather forecast for today was cloudy, and overcast but it far from that at 7:30 AM. OK I reread the forecast a mix of clouds and sun during the morning and give way to clouds this afternoon.  High today will be 58F(15C)  Stay warm, stay safe.
 
Australia family and friends for Wed April 29 will have 70F(20C) with partly cloudy skies.  Sounds like another awesome fall day for them.  ENJOY and stay safe. 
 
As I am watering, I have a look at some of the new plants we are growing at the greenhouse. Have you heard of Eupatorium Elegant Feather  Use as the thriller in a container or use in the back of a garden as it gets tall but feathery.
Eupatorium capillifolium 'Elegant Feather' is a striking perennial plant known for its feathery foliage and graceful appearance, making it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes.
Characteristics
Appearance: This plant features tall, slender stems that can grow between 3 to 6 feet tall, adorned with needle-like leaves that sway gently in the wind, resembling feathers. The foliage is bright green and can create an attractive backdrop in garden settings.
Flowers: While the flowers are small and not particularly showy, they bloom in late summer, typically from September to November, producing greenish-white flower heads arranged in clusters.
Growing Conditions
Light: 'Elegant Feather' thrives in full sun to part shade, requiring about 4-8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth.
Soil: It prefers well-draining, organic soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. Regular watering is essential, but avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
Hardiness: This plant is generally hardy in various climates but is often treated as an annual in cooler regions due to its potential invasiveness.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. The plant is sensitive to drought, and wilting leaves can indicate a need for water.
Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth.
Pruning: Prune in early spring to remove any dead or damaged leaves and to shape the plant for a tidy appearance.
