NEW PLANTINGS
USC Bloom Walk
In February we filled in some of the empty spaces in the USC Bloom Walk Test Plot. We selected additional species based on what was performing well in the plots and selected a couple of novel species that could be well adapted the shady and moist plot. New plants were marked with yellow flags. Some existing plants such as the Gambelia speciosa and Lepechinia fragrans are thriving and have grown substationally since their initial planting.
