New Plants

gorgeous! Echinops Bannaticus Blue Globe is so nice - I lso have Euphorbia x martinii and been so very pleased with it , I think I have that Lychnis in the woodland part too :)))

Very nice Dwyllis, I am sure you will be pleased with those. Have you got your clematis planted nice and deep, with the roots shaded ? Just a thought, as they do like that.

How lovely. I really like the top one.

I had a clematis die, I thought from wilt quite a few years back, I never got the roots out as it was growing through a rose, however delighted to say it reappeared this summer and had a few flowers on it..
Nice plants Dwyllis, pleased to hear you are getting about a bit more...

Lovely selection there

I Love to top one to Alex but a great selection:)

Thanks everybody. I am really enjoying being able to get out a little bit now, & can't wait until my new roses arrive to get them planted & then can plant these new ones too. Planning the garden is proving to be so much fun ... I would have been so bored being stuck indoors otherwise. Re the clematis Cinderella & Lincslass .... I only remembered that it should be planted deeply, a couple of days After we had planted it. So I piled up more earth around it, & hope that will be ok. I knew about the roots liking it cool, so had already placed three large stones around it, & as it is planted in a corner between house & fence, with a tree nearby, it gets afternoon shade from around 1.30pm onwards. I also have a small statue in front of it, which should help to shade the roots too. I can only hope for a good outcome.
