  • Hi Steven,

    Nice pictures!image

    The first one is a campanula. Not sure which variety though. Loads of different types available for the garden and very easy to grow. There are also white and pink campanulas.

    The second one is a corn flower, Centaurea. They too are very easy to grow and usually seed themselves all over the garden. There are pink varieties as well.

    Not sure about the third one, but the last one is a tuberous begonia. They are not hardy, and usually grown from tubers you buy in spring. They come in various colours and also different types of flowers.

  • The first one looks like some sort of Capanula

    the second Centreua

    dont know next one

    the last one Begonia

    There are usually offers on the Apricot begonias in Spring. Most of the seed houses have them as tubers.

    Verbena bonariensis is easily grown from seed sown in spring.

    Centaurea montana is available from nurseries or many garden centres in spring. They are dying down now for winter.

  • HI how are you?
