Summer colour
Summer colour has never been my strong point, but my plant sale trip to Tatton show in the pouring rain gave me the opportunity for a top-up. The great thing about show garden plants is that they are mature and cheap. My haul was:2 x Anthemis 'EC Buxton' - been meaning to grow this for some time
2 x a dark red sedum
4 x Echincea - the standard pinky-red colour
2 x a purply verbascum. Never grown verbascum before
8 x large nicotiana - pinks/reds/whites
1 x large crimson ivy leaved pelargonium
19 plants in total for less than £2 each. Can't be bad.
And - the weather forecast for Saturday's party is sunny. But I'm not counting on it yet...
