Geranium magnificum 'Rosemoor'.. Parahebe 'Porlock'. first flower on Geranium 'Eureka'.. it's a bit bigger than 'Orion'.. Delphinium 'Aurora'.. Geranium 'Patricia'.. California poppies.. French lavender 'Anouk'..
@Woodgreen .. oh that's nice, with the blue behind and yellow behind that.. lots of flowers on it too... 'Max Frei' is similar, I must take a photo tomorrow.. a slightly darker form is 'New Hampshire Purple'..
I'm glad you are liking Parahebe's, they are such useful evergreen flowering plants.. I'm not sure how hardy they are, but probably good in most places, and don't forget, if you want any more they're so easy to propagate, I also get a few seedlings here and there..
..lots of Union flags in gardens nearby today, which is nice. I like all the pomp and pageantry..
.. I have a little bit of red, white and blue.. I got some rain today, much needed for this border full of clashing colours.. People often look at Geraniums for ground covers, not realising perhaps that Parahebe 'Avalanche' is evergreen, forms an attractive shrublet, flowers for about 8 months and is hardy at least in the south.. ..it also seeds here and there..
I’d never heard of Parahebe before receiving one as a gift a couple of months ago. I’m loving it so far - lovely foliage, beautiful dainty flowers that the bees seem to love, great rounded shape. I’m looking forward to seeing how it copes with a midlands winter.
I bought some parahebe Avalanche a few years ago, picking it randomly up in a nursery, not really knowing what it was (on sale). Mine are not as floriferous as yours, but it probably gets less direct sun.
I have Parahebe's all over the place, sun or shade, they don't seem to mind too much.. 'Porlock' has daintier foliage than 'Avalanche' and makes a nice spreading plant, very graceful and gives a frothy effect.. Geranium cambridge varieties, best right now.. ..pale blue Lavender 'Ashdown Forest' makes a change from darker hues.. Anthemis 'Tinpenny Sparkle' just coming out.. Geranium 'Rosemoor' a magnificum type, short season, early summer.. Cistus 'Thrive'..
