Garden in early July

 

Above is a new penstemon called Phoenix Violet. Then below one of the roses in the long border, Rosa chinensis, or Bengal rose.


Below is the Hydrangea macrophylla, much smaller than normal hydrangeas but neat and nice.

This year I remembered to support the achillea in the far round border with conical supports that have been in the garage for some years, bought especially for this plant. It should bush out soon. 

The echinacea "Sunseeker's White Perfection" by the side patio has grown since that photo in June and is amazingly healthy. I like how the flowers start with the petals turning upwards and then that unusual downturn.


The agapanthus has been in this pot next to the back wall for a few years. I have always meant to transfer it into the garden, but while it flowers like this, I will probably leave it here.
