Autumn round the corner.

Love your early Autumn plants Ange, the dahlia is a beautiful colour. Your white swan echinacea is especially lovely too. I've a very small echinacea plant that has grown from seeds sown in the spring, and I'm so pleased it has a flower bud now...

Agree with Janey. I’ve never heard of pink calamint but I do like it ... is it perennial? A little bit like my Viscaria, a pretty late annual.

Janey, I have learnt the hard way that patience is a virtue with echinacea seeds. I grew some a couple of years ago, planted them out too early and lost the lot! This year I grew them for quite some months before putting them out and still very few have survived the slugs. The ones that have stayed with me, though, have been worth the effort (I think!).

Sheila, yes, it's a perennial and it's been out for weeks and smothered in bees. An unassuming little plant but I love it!

All lovely, I do like the fuchsia :-)

wonderful flowers , love reds in garden , I am no good at growing pyracantha , yours has abundant berries , surprised birds don't take them but they look lovely in autumn to keep colour going . loving all but especially berries and last picture

That Sedum is a stunner, those leaves are so vivid, and a self seeder.

Autumn is a colourful season in your garden, Lovely photos :)

Thanks, all. D'lily, finding the fuchsia was a fluke. We went to Old Court Nurseries for asters a couple of years ago and they had just one of this on display. I 'acquired' it , naturally. It was October and the plant was full of flower then. I've not seen it advertised anywhere in this country.

I love the sedum, Siris. I think it must have been a seed from our old garden, but how it popped up in this one I have no idea. P'raps compost from an old pot.

Hywel, I love this time of year and the effect of the softer light. Means I can get away with the brasher colours I like!

Lots of fall color in your garden. You've obviously put a lot of work & care into it.

Thank you, B'gate. I think this is my favourite time of year in the garden.

Lovely autumnal feel and colour. I love autumn too, Ange. I look forward to my acers transforming from green shades to bright oranges and reds. Cosy fires, warm blankets and the smell of wood burning. Not the dark nights though.

Gorgeous autumn colour.

You have lovely autumn plants love the tri colour Fuchsia

Thank you all.
3d: the fuchsia looks to be fussy. The parent plant has only had 3 flowers on it all summer. This is a cutting in a planter and it's only just started to flower. Very late indeed. I hope I can keep them both over the winter.

On the first garden site I use to go on Anget years ago a male gardener in Scotland was a Fuchsia s expert he told me to over winter Fuchsia s he cut all dead off them trimmed them back and put 25 per cent mixed compost the rest peat in a pot some times grouping his fuchsia s together in a large container then storing them in his shed keeping them damp through out the winter.

Thanks for the info. 3d.

Beautiful Anget, and that self seeded sedum is devine.

Your very welcome Anget.😊
