Six on Saturday ! Six things , in the garden , on a Saturday . Could be anything , a good flower , a pesky smoke , a labor , a favourite tool , anything at all . fall in in !
Here are my Six for this hebdomad .
1 . Gaura ‘ Passionate Pink ’ . This works is among several plant ( a payload , really ) that are either late propagations or as in this guinea pig , recent deal purchases , all of which are in a queue waiting to be planted out . When I bought this one I assumed it was reduced in price because it was finished for this yr , so I was thinking about next year really . However , it has had a little rosiness of flowers which has given me a handy view of what it might look like . I like it , definitely a custodian . Now I just have to find a spot for it …
2 . Nipponese anemone ‘ Honorine Jobert ’ . I ’m 95 % certain the variety is correct , the labels are long gone . I bought these plant life about 10 years ago , they listen their own business organisation during the year , but fare into their own about now . The more or less depressing tidings is that they are very much a herald of autumn . I have two clumps of this plant , one in very poor soil on the margin of a shady border , they seem quite well-chosen there . The other lump is in Border 2 , the gay border , but cumber for space . As a result these plant grow very improbable , giving a thorax - height bang of brilliant ashen flowers .
3 . Potentilla fruticosa . This shrubby cinquefoil has been softly occupying a corner of Border 1 for a few years . It has been blossom for weeks , and still doing pretty well , although there do n’t seem to be many new flower foreland . It is a little crowded out by a genus Carex and the neighbouring loosestrife but is go for its own . I incline to err towards shiny color ( I ’m a uncomplicated brute ) , this plant is one of few in the garden that is a more pastel shadiness .
4 . Solidago gigantea . This is a North American prairie perennial . I ’ve no idea where it came from , I certainly did n’t sow it or plant it . speech like “ thuggish ” and “ invasive ” are used to describe it on the RHS website , so I may come to rue not digging it up rather . For now it is blossom brightly , pull in pollinators so it can stay . I think I will dispatch it once the flowers have gone over , hopefully before it starts setting ejaculate .
5 . Delphinium ‘ Black Knight ’ . This is another bargain purchase . I ’ve never grow delphiniums before , so I ’m bet ahead to finding a blot for it . I think I might put it where the mallow is now , in Border 2 . Like the gaura , I did not recall this had any flowering to do this yr , but it is having a little hooray .
6 . Penstemon ‘ Patio Wine ’ . Another bargain leverage for which I had humbled expected value this year . It is also flower well . I am pleased with the colour , I think I ’ll plant it in Border 3 . When I ’ve cleared it out a little .
I ’ll be back next hebdomad with another Six .
