..these are yesterday's photos.. I've had some rain since which is a relief, as my front garden was so parched, I'm surprised anything still alive out there.. Allium 'Mt. Everest' I think Chives are so pretty..
I love big mounding plants of foliage like this Geranium x oxonianum 'Cream Chocolate'.. it flowers all summer, creamy/white.. Penstemon 'Westminster Belle'.. Salvia 'Royal Bumble'.. this overwintered.. I used to have 'Red Swing' but it didn't survive..
Stipa gigantea, I think I like it best just as it's opening up.. Geranium clarkeii 'Kashmir Purple'.. Salvia 'Royal Bumble'.. Delphinium 'Aurora series'.. .shady border.. Geranium 'Orion' first flower.. Geranium 'Russell Prichard'
@Athelas ..oh gosh, that's so plush, those are really nice, I like the way you've grown them in a mini hedge situation, I've not seen them like that before, quite innovative.. lovely colours..
@Athelas, I have to admit I was never impressed by nepeta or campanula. They always looked so weedy to me, but yours are fantastic! Very beautiful. You have made most of those narrow long spaces.
Fabulous perennials Marlorena, and @Altheas I love you mini purple hedges, they’re fantastic! May I ask what material your curved raised beds are made from? They look very smart too!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
