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.
Indian summer, very late flowering
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.
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 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
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.
On a shopping/ordering spree this week. So far Saxifrage - 4 large for £10, 6 small for £7 all from B&Q . 10 Hellebores from Hayloft in various colours £10, and lavenders, and various other plants from T&M, also still waiting for my 5 clematis order.
Ordered some Miscanthus, Salvia pratensis and Nepeta last week and they arrived today for my new prairie style border that i will be digging and planting tomorrow if all goes to plan. Also bought some Verbena Bonanzas, Rudbeckia and Dill seeds to sow to plant later on ?

Finally got round to ordering the penstemon raven to go with my own new helenium border ?. Well, old border just moved somewhere else ?.

Don't apologise Perki... beautiful pictures!
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.
