It’s been very warm of late, little rain and hot days leading to a very dry garden. I have resorted to the hosepipe on a couple of occasions, mainly in the White Garden as it also contains a boggy bit that also needed a bit of a top up.
The Hot Border is in semi shade for the majority of the day and this has helped no end. All seems to be working well. Another year will see it knit together nicely.
Some plants that are peaking at the moment are …….
Hydrangea villosa
Helenium Waltrout
Hemerocallis Scarlet Oak’
Clematis Durandii
Lysimachia variagata
Salvia unknown
Canna ‘Cleopatra’
Helenium ‘Moorheim Beauty’
