Some photos from the garden. I’ve taken a lot of cuttings recently and hopefully they will take and survive the winter. The allium seedheads look like oversized mushrooms now.
@fidgetbones It’s a mystery, unfortunately. I bought in a small local shop with the label Salvia Flammenn, but that’s obviously not it. The closest I came to identifying it was Salvia Pluenn. Lovely plant, continuously flowering and, even more importantly, a good upright compact habit.
@Fire Thank you. I feel very grateful for having this beautiful garden.
@rachelQrtJHBjb, thank you for that link to the article about Nori and Sandra Pope. We visited Hadspen in the week of 9/11 when the news and everything was just too much and we just had to get out of the house. I had a long chat with Sandra about the garden and she was lovely. It's such a shame that it has all gone, it really was a beautiful garden.
@bullfinch Thank you. I’ve taken salvia cuttings successfully in the past. I prefer to root salvia and penstemon cuttings in water as it’s easier to see when they’ve taken.
