Thank you. By August many of the blues and pinks will have faded away. Heleniums, coreopsis, rudbeckias and heliopsis are starting to come out. And dahlias, of course, they are late this year as they got frosted in the spring.

Nothing seems to eat roscoeas Liri - and they're tough as old boots. I've got R. Kew Beauty in a pot. It stays out all winter and every year it seems to take for ever to appear, and then suddenly there it is, blooming its socks off

Patio pots: a couple of old chimney pots, broken watering can and a few others. Scented Pelargoniums, Cosmos, Agapanthas (in bud) and Dianthus.

Loving the succulents table, do you leave them out all year round?
