It's very kind of you to say @Red maple, thank you. It's very much a wildlife garden on a budget. Totally organic, very untidy but full of birds, hedgehogs, frogs, toads etc to look after it for me
@WonkyWomble thank you, I'll have a look at that and probably try some seeds next year. I planted Klein Fontaine (from seed) a few years ago hoping for the effect you've got, but it looks nothing like the RHS images: the heads are much finer and nowhere near as full cascading. Maybe old Mr Fothergill got confused and put the wrong seeds in the pack after he had to rush out to pick up his pension
Loving the Miscathus and Nerines @KeenOnGreen. I'm thinking grasses, a hosta and some verbena bonariensis for my waterfall bed. Looking at Japanese forest grass. Do you think that could work in a small bed with the hosta and verbena behind? Looking for something with a weeping habit as opposed to upright
I can't remember. It got hacked down along with the clematis neighbour from hell and raced away while it wasn't looking😉 @pitter-patter it was a Lazarus plant that just popped up last year. Beautiful colours in your garden. My salvia are still quite young. I hope they look like yours next year
@pitter-patter Lovely red foliage acer and a very colourful view from your kitchen! and interesting collection of salvias...
I don't really have plants with spectacular autumn colours in my garden, but if I cheat by taking close-ups I can still hopefully take part in the competition.

Just came back from the garden, so here are some photos.

I’ve forgotten to add the acer and this photo from the kitchen window.
