The Cosmos that I grew from seed are still flowering in the round border. Behind them are the dwarf sunflowers, also grown from seed.
The two plants that were free when I visited Chiltern View Garden Centre months ago, had died off after their first flowering. I moved them to the conservatory border and they are flowering again. I had to go on "plant identifier" to find that they were a Blue Daisy or Felicia amelloides. I will look out for them again next year.
For the first time in years, I have resisted buying any more bulbs. But what I did (on the advice of Monty Don) was buy a dozen Wallflowers Sugar Rush mix. They are not too tall and I hope that will suit them going in pots.
The Impatiens in pots at the front keep on flowering.
The plant that grows through the stones at the end of the main border is called a Valeriana phu or Common Valerian according to plant finder. I cut it back in the summer and is now in flower once again.
The two climbers on the fence of the main border which were cut down in the summer are growning again. They should be fine next year.
