They are lovely too, I had to admire all my Cherry Brandy plants growing in friends gardens last year as I accidentally gave them away instead of the yellow ones I was growing, the rain washed the names on the labels away! Won’t make that mistake again.😂
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
Thanks to you all for all your help, really appreciated. Yes, Cherry Brandy is very pretty, but only yellow varieties available here. I am sure a Rudbeckia of some sort will make it in there at some point (I am growing the annual orange/brown Autumn Colours from seed as an experiment, having never grown flower seeds before). I am majoring on orange perennials at the moment because I already have lots of red roses and red shrubby salvias in there. I also have Salvia carradona and Agastache Black Adder potted on and ready to join the hotties, but now pursuaded to get a few MBeauties as well as Waltraut, as they do look so lovely with your Black Adder, Perki. I hope you’re BA make it.
Achillea (Safran or Terracotta) has been on and off my list and will probably be back on again next year if the Heleniums fail. I am trying to be a bit cautious of packing in too many different things in just now until I see what stuff looks and performs like in my garden and my confidence grows a bit, but it’s hard, so many gorgeous plants to choose from, but not necessarily available to me in Catalunya! Hopefully by the end of the summer I can post pics of my lovely flourishing hot border, fingers crossed xx
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
