            @Upsydaisy Pollinators must love your garden, Upsydaisy! Looks gorgeous, too! :)
            My Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop' hasn't even flowered yet here in the Midlands. :cry3:

                Not as tall yet as last year....I think everything is 3 weeks or so later.....but been flowering for couple of weeks at least. Half expected last week’s gales to have flattened them but they were fine.
                A couple of clumps here.
                They should reach 6’ plus in couple of weeks

                  C9951F61-E26D-4180-B21F-158B7B729EF5.jpeg Just a common-or-garden potentilla ...Elizabeth I think....but it gives a nice couple of metres or so of colour in this corner I think. Plus the smell of the lavendar trapped under the heat today is intoxicating.
