What's Looking Good in September ....

Rudbeki a, Passion Flower, and Lavender.

 

"The Fuscia is looking good"

Dont know there name.....but they are hardy.
Winter is a long way off......I hope.

Format LoL style

 

Lovely colours, roders. It could be F magellanica 'Riccartonii'. I'm flattered.

Mine (possibly F 'Tango Queen', pink and violet)are blooming in a pot next to the Cyclamen which are now blooming.

 

last day of September,and its warm out here
and still loads of colour

 

sorry should have made it bigger :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

agave victoriae reginae.

Just started moving them back under cover after the summer outside.

 

Pete the Agave... I WANT ONE... DEE

 

Very colourful and sunny, Kathy3.

Yes, pete, I could even find a pot for one of my namesakes. Will keep my eyes open for that or ask my garden centre friend if he has one.

 

Kathy3 its been lovely here today as well... like a summers day, your gardens like mine full of colour, enjoy while we can.. and Roders your fuscias are gorgouse. i cant believe there still flowering... my baskets were finished about 4 weeks ago :( .. DEE

 

Dee and LoL,
Buy some seeds and wait a few years, about 25 that is.

 

HaHa pete, think ill buy one

 

I prefer "instant" gardens ... I'll invest in a plant. :D

 

I've never seen them for sale in the UK, I presume you need to go to a specialist, they tend not to form offsets like most agaves, so I think they need to be grown from seed.
I think they would grow much faster in your conditions LoL, especially if given a free root run in a nursery.
Dee, another agave which is faster growing and also is good in a pot due to the fact that it doesn't form side shoots is Fillifera, its easier to find as well.
There is one in the centre of the cold frame pic.

 

Fillifera .. ok Pete will look for that.. think ill wait untill spring. cheers DEE
