Front Garden

0 comments

The front garden is overflowing with colour and growth. I’ve put up some metal fencing to stop it all collapsing onto the lawn in the wind.

If you want an all- year garden like me, then you have to overplant really and accept that in the height of summer it will all be OTT, and the evergreens will be hidden by the summer flowers.

Anyway, here are some photos!

Geranium x himaleyense ‘Plenum’

Rose’The Lark Ascending with Agastache ‘Mango Tango’. I could never overwinter Agastache in Scotland, but here they have grown so big over the winter!

‘Morning Mist’ Rose

The general abundance ..

From the other side..

And finally, the Lavender, rose and hydrangea bed on the outside of the back garden wall. I’m having to be patient with these ground cover roses. I like the red and purple clash, but they were miserable and tiny when planted so I’m having to nurture and persuade them to do their job. The Hydrangea paniculata ‘Graffiti’ are doing really well though. Loads of buds on them.
