My new Viburnum arrived which prompted a bit of a revamp of this corner. I removed Penstemon Westminster Belle x3 which grew very large and a bit tatty but hardly produced any flowers. Tbh they were an impulse buy to fill the space because I hadn’t planned well enough for this corner. So…they came out and I planted a lovely semi-evergreen Viburnum x hilleri ‘Winton’ which will fill this space beautifully and probably need a lot of pruning in time. I also moved my Amelanchier ‘American Pillar’ from the front to the back. It’s just as well as I discovered it was waterlogged after the heavy rain we had yesterday. So that was a good decision. It was inevitable that some herbaceous would be replaced with shrubs. You know me! I’m a tree and shrub lady. It’s all about structure for me. It’s a grey old day here, and more rain to come Wednesday and Thursday. And it’s suddenly got very dark hasn’t it? Autumn is here! Good news…our Son Callum has booked flights to come home from Calgary for Christmas. :)
