WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN SEPTEMBER 2018

We'm got some of @pete's too

 

Nice zigs, cant think where you got those from.

 

Mother nature at its best

 

They're all beautiful. My fuscia has been very disappointing this year

 

Thank you. Fuchsias can be very temperamental, they don't like it very hot.
My basket fuchsias didn't do very well, but the hardy ones did better.

 

Argh that would explain it as in previous years it's been gorgeous. Although the very same type is flourishing in our local park around the corner. Could it be down to watering? I watered my garden every (hot) day during the summer whereas the one in the park won't have had any!!

 

dahlias, salvia Amistad well over 7' tall, pennisetum Villosum, hackon grass and more still looking good I think

 

I cut Amistad down to 2ft last autumn repotted it and overwintered in the greenhouse (I know it won't take the -7cs we have here sometimes) it is now the same size as yours @Verdun.

Cordylines Sunrise, Torbay Dazzler and a Waggy which was just over 2ft when planted 6 years ago.


Hosta Purple Heart still has flowers!


I brought the Meyers Lemon in to help ripen the fruit.

 

Do the salvia's survive the winter in the garden verdun ? or do you left any. I know you take cutting.

 

Hiya Perki.....yes most salvias survive the winter outside here but I always take cuttings. Actually, the best plants....those in picture above....come from precious year's cuttings.

 

Excellent JWK......swingball too
