Colour in September

[Georgie]

Pleased to report that there is still plenty of colour in the garden today, even though we are still suffering dought conditions here in the South East.  G x

Garlic chives - only grow them for the flowers!




Liriope Muscari - now thriving since I learnt to water it with rain/boiled water



Verbena Hybrida - found this hard to grow from seed but think the flower is worth it



Lychnis - a new plant for me this year

Lovely colours Georgie. I particularly like the colour of the Verbena.

[Georgie]

Thanks Lorna.  I love the colour of the Verbena too but I won't be growing it again.  It's not scented like it said on the packet and it's prone to powdery mildew too.   :(

they look great G :) you're lucky to have colour still, we have very little colour now and have lost a few plants this year to the drought.

[Georgie]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Leonnie.   :'(

I've just taken a peep at your gallery and you have some lovely pics there.  I particularly like that very dark Aquilegia, what vaiety is it please?

[Leonnie]

I'm not sure what variety it is G but I saved some seed which I might have laying about somewhere. If I can find them I'll send you some in return for the honesty seed you sent me. :)

[Georgie]

Oh lovely, thanks so much.   ;D

The sunny border continues to flourish



Osteospernum



The Morning Glory has gone mad this year



Passiflora



Sedum

[lorna]

Georgie. I think I have slaughtered my passiflora. Last year it had loads of flowers. I cut it back and although it has grown again not one flower has appeared.
Lorna.

[Georgie]

I thought they responded well to hard pruning, Lorna, so I don't know what could have gone wrong.  I've saved some seeds from mine this year, would you like some?

[lorna]

Yes please Georgie. It looked so good last year against the back of the garage. I am sure I took advice about pruning  so can't understand. Thanks,

[Georgie]

Right oh, I'll pop some in the post when thay have dried out.  :)

Your Morning Glories are stimply stunning Georgie.  I think my paler ones are very pretty, but that deep purple to almost black is just gorgeous.
