Border 10 weeks on.

Wow what a difference and everything so lush..cant believe your last blog was begging for rain, you would never know it!

well we have had quite a bit and apart from when they were first planted I havent watered them.

Certainly doing well now

That looks wonderful and so established:)

Looks like it's always been that wide!

It is lovely...

It looks great and has filled out so quickly, lovely choice of planting.....

That is an inspiration.

lovely garden ................. enjoyed it very much ;0))

lovely border and photos, like that lily :^)

I think it is one of my favourite lilies too, though it doesnt have a perfume.

I decided to colour theme some of the borders as it made it easier for oh to buy me surprise presents of plants.

the plantings are doing well though no surprise plants from oh.

You'll have to drop heavier hints, Sbg. lol.

Seriously, it's amazing how quickly the border has become 'established'. I love your choice of colours.

Funnily enough, I've just planted 'Terracotta' in my hot border - does it fade like some other Achilleas do?

not too badly. Did I give you some wessersandstein? its a good deep pink that doesnt fade too badly?

thank you Homebird.

Very nice, i hope i can achieve such lovely flowers in time!

I especially like the L. pardalinum giganteum, it looks very much like the gloriosa rothschildiana, which i happen to be trying to grow in the greenhouse this year.

Yes, Sbg - the Achillea is still in a pot, but it has a bud. I'm waiting to see the colour before I plant it out. :-)

Would you like a pot of Crocosmia 'George Davison' for your yellow end? It's a pretty one, and very well-behaved.

ooh yes please I lost mine in the winter.

OK. :-)
