Last week's edition of Gardener's World started with pictures of yellow Achilleas and Rubeckias. Exactly the same as mine in the photos above. The Achillea filipendulina Cloth of Gold is taller than the normal 1.5 metres. The Rudbeckia Goldsturm suffered from the lack of water and will need some decent mulch in the Spring.
Apart from these, there is not a lot of colour in the garden this time of year, apart from the second bloom of the roses.
This white rose above is on the edge of the wildflower border where there is very little soil. So to bloom a second time this year must be down to the rose food I used after the first flowers faded.
The two roses above are in the long border, and I have already posted about the rose Blue for You below.
Fortunately the bedding plants next to the dwarf wall have been a roaring success. The Dahlia Figaro Mixed keep flowering with little attention apart from constant deadheading.
Last of all, the lawn has suffered badly from the drought. I expect it will recover in time.
