Flowering in September

13 comments

This is just a little blog of what is flowering/still flowering midway through September. Will be interesting to see how it compares next year.

This Zantedeschia aethiopica has been thoroughly enjoying our wet weather. It has not stopped throwing up flowers since Easter.

This Hydrangea Macrophylla is blooming away to it’s heart’s content.

Primula vialii has thrown up one last flower before it goes to sleep.

Still not looking too bad – the pink border.

Lets have a closer look……

Hydrangea paniculata Pinky Winky

Potentilla nepalensis Ron Mcbeath it took a while to get going this year but now it’s scrambling through it’s neighbours, I’m happy :)

Echinacea Pow Wow admittedly bought ‘’in flower’’ after all my other Echinacea succumb to the SAS but fits in quite nicely I think.

Lobelia fan series

Heuchera americana Plum Pudding – was teamed up with Heuchera Black Beauty, baffled me as to what happened. Both planted at the same time right next to each other. Black Beauty obviously decided it didn’t like my garden.

Ophiopogon Black Beard this was a little off shoot from another plant elsewhere in the garden.

Further along in the same bed – it’s not looking too bad either……

Monarda Prairie Nacht still feeding the bees and insects.

Alstroemeria Inca Glow another plant which has flowered all non summer.

Sidalcea Party Girl copes will with the wind and another good one for the insects. They love it.

Echinacea Bressingham Hybrids A taller Echinacea – recovering from the constant SAS attacks.

Sedum Colouring up now.

Astrantia Buckland 2nd time around for this. Trifolium rubens and Allium just beginning to go over now but have been colourful all season.

Erigeron I had already but this back but has thrown out a coulpe of flowers – any flowers welcome in my opinion.

Clematis Peppermint – produced it’s first flower a few weeks ago – there are quite a few buds now but they are taking an age to open

Phlox paniculata Violet Flame early flowers were ruin by the constant rain. Not as scented as it has been in the past.

Cynara Cardunculus

Only produced half the amount of flower heads as last year – more sun needed.

Astilbe Deutschland another new one for the wetter part of the garden.

Stokesia laevis ‘Blue Star’ I was surprised this survived the flooding which extended along to where this is planted. Will need to move this just in case the area floods again.

Persicaria amplexicaulis JC Caliente VERY VERY insect friendly.

Stachys officianalis Wisley White flowers have lasted a long time – another one to survive the wet conditions. A lovely clear sharp white.

Crocosmia, Achillea Terracotta and Persicaria JC Caliente in the hot border

Clematis ’Ville de Lyon The first flower. This has usually flowered from end of July. Just producing it’s first flower now. Suffering from powdery mildew which is disappointing.

Heuchera Berry Smoothie very short flowers on this compared to all my other Heucheras.

Geum Mrs Bradshaw I think this one is not getting enough sun. Will need moving next year.

Hydrangea Macropyllia Moved late in the season so am surprised this produced flowers. The rain will have helped it’s move.

Heuchera Marmalade still enjoying the shade under the Kilmarnock Willow. You can see the buds of the Skimmia just forming too.

Phlox paniculata Bright Eyes I bought these as bare root plants from Morrisons in spring. 3 plants but only one has flowers. The others have grown but not too well. I’ll be hoping for a better display next year.

Gladioli Surprised these lasted in the ground up here over winter. Just shows how mild it was up here last winter.

Strangely enough whilst all the green leaved Acers are showing a distinct Autumn colour – this Acer palmatum disectum Crimson Queen is not showing any signs of the changing season. It’s usually the first to turn.

I’ve still got Anemone, Aster and for the first time Heptacodium Miconoides flowers awaiting to grace my garden. A few more bright days and I’m sure they will.

Thank you for reading. I didn’t realise there was quite so many pictures until I started uploading. Cheers x
