I've experimented a bit more with perennials this year, adding red, purple, dark pink and lime green. Plus the grasses are starting to transform the borders, at last!
@Plantminded ..that's really lovely I must say, beautifully tended and I like the retaining wall very much..
@GardenerSuze .. Nice to have a Molinia, I used to have one called 'Karl Foerster', gives a light, airy effect... I think 'Transparent' is better known..
@Marlorena I also have Molinia' The Rocket' which is slightly smaller in my soil and more delicate.It is at it's best in Autumn when the whole plant is a golden yellow.
The Autumn colour of M Transparent is a more patchy green/yellow before it too turns a golden yellow as Autumn progresses.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
@Wrigs21 I love how your steps guide up, have you got a Secret Garden up there? On GW yesterday Carol Kliene visited a garden with exactly the same colour tones it made me really stop and look. They were colours that I had not thought of together, your garden made me think of those colours.

Thank you. House sits at the top so it’s a steep garden sloping down. Stuck the terracing in and planted last year so slightly more luck rather than judgement! Mix in a few oranges further down
..not much here, I've had to cut back a lot due to drought and heat... garden looking bare in places.. Lythrum 'Dropmore Purple'.. Gaura 'Pink Dwarf' / Pennisetum orientale.. Phlox 'Sweet Summer Soft Pink'.. Hemerocallis 'Stafford' / Hakonechloa.. and a browning Thuja...
