    Hi Perki

    I do already have helenium MBeauty at the front in a border (shown below) but because I only have a small front garden I thought I'd get rid of the grass and just have a small path through instead, which gives me more room for planting. I did quite well with the order in that I only ordered plants I already have, but yes Heleniums are one of my favourites they are such a great plant. Do you have any pictures of your Heleniums??

    Looking good Chris, Mbeauty has a nice rich red colour when it starts blooming.

    I probably going to get told off one day for keep putting helenium pictures on but oh well I can resist.

    Mbeauty, I going to add a papaver queen alexender behind the helenium MB with a salvia caradonna or mainacht planted in between and infront of Helenium MB and the kniphofia.

    image I have naughtily ordered some plugs of stocks  ( as I haven't got room for any more pots when it comes to pricking out ) and I want them for cut flowers, I've also ordered sky blue delphimiums as I seem incapable of getting them to germinate image now I must get my hand s on some more hardy geraniums ( may wait for hardy plant society sale) and really want some erigeron to growover the low walls at the edge or the borders, though I do want some more aubretia too... I shouldn't be allowed near plant sale sites

    My plant order has just arrived so I've spent a mucky hour or two potting up and potting on as needed.  Now all under shelter to acclimatise.   Good fun.

    I agree with Mark56 don't apologise Perki! They wonderful pictures of a great plant, you'll have to put plenty more photo's out when they're flowering again, will be great to see how your new additions fit in.
