@Nanny Beach that Veridis looks gorgeous if you can plant in groups, this is from a Gardens just down the lane from us, I think it must have attracted every bee in Devon, absolutely buzzing.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Thanks for the reminder @lyn - I knew there were some cuttings I needed to do I'm afraid I didn't save seeds from the Salvia either. I've had Salvia Amistad in my garden for years - about 5-6 plants. They all made it through winter, but come spring the slugs were relentless and I've lost the lot I'll get another in the spring
Billericay - Essex
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Yes - but they need to watch out for those pesky moths @Lyn - stealing stuff
@Nanny Beach - the thing about the Aster is - there are so many that are similar, but they're much of a muchness in terms of care. If you're wanting to buy a similar one, just take a look on one of the good sites that supply perennials - Hardy's, Clare Austin etc.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I've got the amistad,the lips collection but they aren't going very big first year and (whisper it quietly,case obelixx hears) a big hotlips white at the moment.Oh,she won't object to that!are these ones with the bracts, annual or Perennial?
Lyn, what a wonderful display of flowers! What are they, I couldn’t quite work out the exact name from the various posts? Great picture, nice young man too.
