After reading all your views on “naff” flowering plants (of which I seem to have a few!!) I thought it would be interesting to hear what your favourites are?
I think the nations favourite was the Rose and it certainly would be high up on my list too. I have far too many favourites to list here and I am always finding more (expensive hobby is this gardening) but perhaps my all time tops are those that I have either grown from seed or cuttings like dahlias, clematis, lilac, aquilegia, poppies ........
Ooh, tricky, but I would probably say Echinacea, with Agastache a close run second. For roses it’s a toss up between RD Braithwaite for its strong growth and retention of red colour and Lady of Shallott because it just keeps on giving. Good to balance the scales, cvh!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
I don't grow roses, they remind me of outdoor swimming pools - useful four months of the year and a nuisance taking up space the rest of the time.
I do like, sedum, cordyline, calendula, lavendar, rosemary, pretty much anything that grows without too much fuss. My absolute favourite is my smoke tree.
