What's looking good in September 2015

Cannas and Brugmansias are starting to make a decent show:

 

@JWK John, that bed is really looking good now.

 

Hi @Angelina , I've got some photos here showing how it looked in July and also compared to 4 years ago:

Some lovely Perilla from strongy ( @strongylodon what temperature should we keep the cuttings at during the winter?).





This honeysuckle was cut right back for its end of year pruning last week and has started blooming again!


Some wild alliums have appeared by our patio


Penstemons have been blooming again




Cobaea scandens is growing at 12" a week and spreading everywhere. It's grown up and over the fence and the neighbour loves it




We have lots of different varieties of Heuchera and they're managing to keep flowering quite well


Forgotten the name of this one


The flower of a large sedum that grows 3ft high and 3ft circumference. Don't know the variety as it has been in that bed for years.

 

Another shrub that has been cut back and is flowering again are our weigelia


Thalictrum (double purple)


Our cyclamen bed is just starting to come into its autumn flowering, early, which is the third time this year!


With white and different shades of pink






The Chinese lanterns are beginning to peak out through the leaves


Lords and Ladies are just beginning to colour up


Some of the zinnias that we're doing trials of


And a definite sign of approaching Autumn is when the ice plants start to flower


But we have a touch of Spring with Campanula flowering again, alongside some of the ice plants
