My tall, branching sunflowers are providing loads of blooms for cutting, seeds for birds (including our hens) and food for bees

We seem to have 2 October threads with this one started earlier today http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/whats-looking-good-in-october-2014.76562/#post-856730

Could GC staff please merge them?

EDIT: Thanks for merging

 

It may have taken until October but I finally have some plants I'd consider looking good

 

My Echinacea finished weeks ago and my Brunnera is looking sad, yours are all perfect and fantastic colour on the Pennisetum.

 

Looking good Jack!

 

Hi Jack

Do you have the variety name for the grass ?
all looking great

 

Yes its Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum'. Some say it's perennial but I bought one back in Feb that didn't survive being a little too wet. I'll see how this replacement goes over winter. I'm going to accompany it with a smaller green grass throughout the bed next summer.
