    0C29B655-B9D0-48FF-A6B5-63CD9358119D.jpeg Got a few perennial heliotropes ...mainly Chatsworth but a nice white too (white Lady) ....in containers by back door, pathways etc. The scent right now is wonderful now that the sun is out. The nick-named “cherry pie” looks good and smells good in June through to autumn:) take cuttings for plants every year:)
    This is one of several growing in the garden.....intoxicating scent even though only a few flowers are open

        I'm pleased you like it. :dbgrtmb: We forgot to do cuttings for sale this year :doh:

        Don't be surprised if the leaves get chewed up by bugs. They like turning the leaves into lace :hate-shocked:

        Our Rehmannia seeds very easily but the one we have in the greenhouse, in a pot and on capillary matting, propagates like mad with root runs in the matting. We pot up over a dozen each year for our plant sale.

          It is, but certainly brightens up the space. It's easily controllable and flowers for a long time. This one flowers for about three months.

                Careful siting then for my A. Indian Summer then Shiney. The dark foliage too appeals to me:)

                  @Verdun the sunshine has lightened the picture. The reds are a deeper red and the leaves are darker than they appear in the picture.

                  A new climbing rose at my mums. I absolutely love the pinky orangey colour. £1.79 from poundstretcher. Bargain!

                        I think quite a few of us have Alstroemeria Indian Summer, I have several clumps of it and other tall varieties for cut flower.

                        Callistemon Inferno, not flowering very well this year.

                        Callistemon laevis, the only one I have that flowers again in the autumn.

                        Grevillea Canberrra Gem, needs cutting back twice a year as it grows so fast and flowers for months, loved by Bees.

                        Sunsatia (Nemesia) Mango, I've kept this one going for over 7 years from cuttings as it is not readily available, nice scent.

                          I really like that Alstroemeria Indian Summer. Might have to make a purchase...I'm assuming they are ok in containers? I am only thinking of doing containers instead of investing more in the garden.
