What is Looking Good in JULY 2021

@shiney Do you have much dead heading to do or is most self cleaning? I hope the latter!

 

Its a Veronica Michael , Veronicastrum have a whorl of leaves around the stems . Your Veronica looks quite tall so its probably one of the longifolia varieties .

 

Thanks for the information @Perki I was hoping someone would enlighten me. I'll have to remember the difference between them.
I have gone back and changed the name in the posting.

 

Might be approaching peak sweet pea picking. Daily picking has now reached 54 stems.

 

Ligularia Little rocket has been stunning this year like every year , shame it doesn't flower for longer

Looking forward to this combo Kniphofia Timothy which should get plenty more flowers soon with Salvia Verticillata endless love .

Lupin very late to flower this year

Keep thinking of taking this Rose Paul scarlet out because its not a repeat flower with hardly any scent, but how can I when it puts on a show like this


first Dahlia to flower waltzing Matilde

 

.....stunning @Perki !!

 

You are going into full bloom now Perki ... looks fantastic. Is that Santa Cruz Begonia around your Dahlia? I have it and love it but have to keep it in the shade.

 

@Perki Very nice !!
What variety is your white Rose, the one in a pot ?

 

@Cordy The white rose is desdemona david austin shrub rose , its supposed to be highly scented but my sense of smell isn't right yet so I can't smell any of the roses.

@Victoria Yes Begonia Santa cruz , Garden getting into its stride now all that moaning I did in spring about having no colour etc

 

Lavenders


These have grown in the tarmac

 

Stunning Lavenders @Logan, you are fortunate to have them growing so well and even through the tarmac.

Beautiful garden, and very tidy @Perki, how do you manage to keep it so tidy ?

 

There are some stunning gardens out there - I’ve enjoyed scrolling through all your lovely pictures
