Do they tend to get taken by the frost? I grew these ones from seed earlier this year, so it's their first season, but last year grew some for a friends' garden and they came again this year
Unlikely it's just frost as we didn't really have much last winter. We get a lot of rain (and snow) so I'm blaming that for the loss of my two Whirling Butterflies. Basically they're on the edge in certain soils / areas so let's just say they're not the most reliable of perennials. But if you're down south and it continues to be very dry through the winter you'll probably get away with it. If you've already got the plants in you've got nothing to lose.
Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
I like the Euonymus Green Pillar. It's nice to have things suggested by other people because it's not one I'd seen before and I tend to go for the same old things.
The lavender and convolvulus cneorum seem to be doing well - so far in the heat at least and the Euryops are getting there, they were taken from cuttings last year. How things will fare over the winter though in the wet may be a different matter.
The Heuchera and Alchemilla I've already dug out now, they were just crispy and brown
