Lots of colour in my cottage-style garden this Summer. I tend to mix perennials, annuals, veg, herbs and fruit together around the garden, using pots and planting them together in the flower beds/borders. It tends to work well. Here's a little snapshot of what's looking bright and cheerful this month...
 |
| L-R: Shasta Daisy, Achillea 'Terracotta', Hydrangea, Astrantia major 'Primadonna'. |
 |
| L-R: Astilbe Fanal, Begonia, Self-fertilizing Apple Tree, Dianthus. |
 |
| L-R: Nemesia, unknown (can't remember) perennial, Hebe shrub, unknown (can't remember) perennial. |

| L-R: Echinacea (I think), Calendula, hoverfly on Lavender, Asiatic Lily Red Joy. |

Some beauties there, Kelli. It's the most colourful time of year in most UK gardens. Got any tomatoes or chillis on the go?
ReplyDeleteLovely colours - is that echinacea a helenium?
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and the combinations, so nice to mix perennials, annuals and vegetables in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThe pink unknown in the third photo down appears to be a penstemon, and the echinacea looks to be helenium. Either way, so many gorgeous colors! I believe in the theory of "the more colors, the better".
