Mostly more of the same, having settled on a layout and planting scheme over the years. My garden has evolved over 14 years and I am conscious that it is relatively maintenance heavy. So, I ought to be simplifying it and reducing the work involved. In practice I do the opposite, and one idea I have is to dig out a new bed for the large number of agapanthuses ( should that be agapanthi?) I have bought/collected over the years and which are now in pots. Needs a sunny spot. May add some orange crocosmia as well.
Verdun, the Rodgersias at the Bristol Botanic Garden grow in the bog garden round the lake. tn all the National Trust gardens where I have seen them growing they are by the side of a stream as at the Abbotsbury Subtropical. I think the plural of agapanthus is agapanthus. at least i have never heard anything else at the Botanic garden where they have a lovely collection. The tall dark blue one looks lovely with kniphofia next to it and strelitzias in pots behind it. I will see if i can find a picture. This is 2009 when the kniphofias had dark blue salvias behind, Tyr to imgine it with dark blue agapanthus instead as I
that's sounds a bit flammable, Diddy?! maybe not if your decking is next to your fire-pit....
Next year, if it fails to flower AGAIN the Viburnum Bodnantese that was here when I moved in nearly 14 years ago is definitely going on the bonfire. I have given it a final warning

Good idea, should flower simultaneously and good colour combination too.

I've got a Hibiscus that is heading for the bin if it doesn't put a bit of growth on GinglyGangly, sick of looking at it.....
Could be an interesting evening sat around the fire pit with the decking smoking...
the fire pit is on the concrete circle if you look at the pics.
