Whats looking good July 2014

Nearly sown all mine<SmugGrin> Most years 25% of it doesn't get sown

 

The ranunculus bottom right was literally the only one close to the picture on the box. All the others have flowers more similar to Californian poppies and are white. Some haven't flowered, not sure why. Will dig them up and give them a go next year, probably all in one pot together.

 

Begonia (saved from last year, this year's Plugs nothing like as large as yet)


Buddleia Buzz Red - not dwarf as advertised ... and not red either!


Lilium "Forza Red"


Lilium White Heaven - later than my other lilies, which is handy.


Lilium manissa - one of the so called Giant lillies, been in that spot for 5 years or so now.


Crocosmia Lucifer

 

You are right! I only remember the blurb, which says "Growing full-length flowers on a dwarf-sized plant, it will attract butterflies by the dozen as well as busy pollinators like bumble bees."

but then it says "A hardy perennial, it will flower from June through to October and grows to 1.2m (4')." so not THAT dwarf then! Typical T&M Marketting Babble. Here's their marketting picture:



not that red either!

One or two splashes of nice colour.
a fluffy bunch of Linaria

Salvia patens "Oxford Blue" & "Cambridge" blue together

and the Fuchsia is coming along in the H Basket but the Cailibracoa is a bit tardy

The busy lizzies in the front window box like this humidity , are nice and stubby and showing no signs of mould -yet...

great mix of colurs Jen with your boxes , Salvias are outstanding that blue is amazing

 

Very easy to get seeds to germinate Spruce. I'm gathering some now . The other ones in the front, raised triangular bed are just about to bloom and, hopefully, will look good amongst the dwarf bedding dahlias. Pinning my hopes on a rather good show there soon,
Jenny

 

My white agapanthus is doing extremely well this year

Also this rose that i got free from spalding i think and i have no idea what it is but i like it
