What’s looking good in August 2019

Helenium Biedermeier.....think that’s correct spelling.
Later than some but becomes ever more floriferous going into autumn. A real eye catcher esp in sun

 

Salvia Love n Wishes

 

Salvia Embers Wish
An area where plants are semi-dumped but usually colourful

 

This 6’ dahlia stood up well to the storm last night with fresh buds already prominent.

 

Pennisetum Rubrum Eaton Canyon

 

Phlox David, starting to go over now but it re flowers quickly....worth growing for the scent alone

 

Lovely colours @Verdun - you have a beautiful garden. Is it very large?
I think David is a great name for a plant

 

Thanks Alana
In two parts 80’ square in front maybe more at back so average to medium??
I have first option on a 6 acre plot overlooking the famous St. Michaels Mount....popped in there today coincidentally.....where I planted an orchard from a bare field and an ornamental garden from nothing so I know it very well.
Sometimes I want it, sometimes I think I would regret this garden

 

Lobelia ‘Fan Burgundy’. I bought this late last year and divided into three, following good advice from Verdun...

 

Those are stunning

 

Pleased with this. First time I've grown Abutilon from seed. Got another couple not in bud yet. Just hope I can keep them going through the winter.

 

Freddie, I am chuffed to bits ...your lobelia looks sensational

 

Last year I thought my apples and pears were good but this year is much better. The tree in the back was a miniature James Grieve from Woolies in 1998 and is now 8' wide and 10' high and the apples are about 5/7 inches diameter and in the front although some dropped in the wind it's still covered, not quite ripe yet.
Lots of tomatoes but all still green with no sign of any turning so far, my patience is evaporating.
Win some, lose some.

 

RobB, try removing leaves from tomatoes.....I find it speeds up ripening process. Those apples sound great....done well with the tree

Rudbeckia, actea and lobelia Hadspen Purple feature here. You can’t see them but there are several hellebores there too so this is a low maintenance all year round area
