Looks great Lyn, (not been on star thread yet), my montbretias aren't flowering much as yet, but the Lucifer is doing well. I love the orange expolosion when they do but yes they need a lot of keeping in check. Note to self - must widen borders so my garden looks as good as Lyn's
Love echinaceas - only have pink ones - prima donna and pink parasol (grew the latter from seed). Luckily they got going before the slugs started marauding this year
I've lost all my echinaceas - again. Had several tries they just don't like this garden, nor do montbretias, nor lupins. Lysimachia punctata adores it, blast it! Dahlias are quite happy. Heleniums, after a couple of false starts, have settled in. Weeds think my garden is great!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Thank you, I have to say that I prefer the other border with the soft gentle penstemons in. I have put them on the Star in your garden thread.
those Montretias just take over if you let them and I dug loads of them out this spring.
