| Amaranth 'Josephs Coat' finally went into the ground, the first plants I put out got gobbled away over night. It's not very tall yet , 3-4 ft x 2' w the packet says ...we shall see ! Next on the far right bottom another new one , Nasturtium 'Empress of India ' , nice dark leaves and smallish scarlet flowers . I don't know which poppy is at the back , I can't remember throwing any seeds down , maybe it's my no show Poppy 'Black swan'. |
 |
| Nicotiana 'landsdorfii' is a new one , I usually rely on my whopping big 'sylvestris' self-seeders . These are nice and dainty , but sadly don't have the fragrance. Or maybe I should have a sniff at night ? |
 |
| The edges of by back borders have been taken over by these mystery plants . I remember scattering 'P. 'black swan' all along the edges . But not these ! They open up to small white daisies which I like , sort of Aster like. |
 |
| Some seeds I sowed last month to fill in the holes left by my pulling out early flowering Lychnis , which leaves many holes. I've got Alonsoa which is South American , so it will grow fast in this heat and last till the frost . And Ammobium a Australian perennial which I'll try to over winter . I'll have to google them because I 'm sure which is which .... |

| Another pot planted ! |
Looking good, I love that amaranth. Wow. And that Nicotiana is super cool, I grew that years ago and you inspire me to do it again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for seed ideas! Hope they are doing OK with this heat. Love the little moss/selaginella(?) in container. So cute.
ReplyDeleteYou're so wise to plant things now that love the heat and will fill in holes left by earlier-blooming annuals. You're magic with pairing plants with your pots. These would be gobbled up at garden art shows and fairs if you ever wanted to go into production.
