| My Persicaria starts from last springs plant swap, all grown up and blooming away |
 |
| Last year I watched a Dahlia collector on ' Gardeners World' . I was surprised how aggressively he dead headed the blooms . so I have been snipping away every morning, snipping blooms with the slightest signs of fading. Yes, it does makes a big difference in the blooming. |
 |
| The Japanese Anemones have taken a beating this year, they're no longer floating tall , but hanging horizontal over most of the area. |
 |
| Penstemon 'Purple giant' ...I think |
 |
| Zauschneria 'Silver select' |

Gorgeous! I really should take better care of my Dahlias and deadhead them more aggressively. I bought that Saxifrage rubrifolia this spring, now I need to get it in the ground soon.
ReplyDeleteAlison, I love that S. rubrifolia...likes lots of water ,though.
DeleteJusticia brandegeana, that is one cool plant! I've never heard of it before. Lov it! I really neglected the dahlia dead-heading this year. You are so on top of it Linda! Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteYour blooms are beautiful! That's good to know about Dahlias.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura, It's the only thing I've been doing this summer..deadheading
DeleteI'm heading right out to deadhead the dahlias. The rain looks good on all of your blooms.
ReplyDeleteRicki, Seems to get them going !
DeleteA beautiful bloom day in the whatsitgarden, although I must take issue with 'Furious Yellow.' It doesn't look mad at all. :)
