New plants this year (so far)

Here is a round up of my new plants this year (up to now).  I do have some more on the way.  Above is Weigela Picobella Rosa which is a dwarf Weigela. I thought that a summer flowering little shrub would be a good addition to the pots.

I also bought some geranium sanguineum striatum which are young plants and haven't yet flowered.  (On the right is my first ever success with cuttings, which were from a nemesia confetti.)

A hydrangea to replace a plant that got too wet last winter and rotted.  This is a smaller plant - Hydrangea Paniculata 'Little Spooky' which will have white flowers.

My latest rose, Kew Gardens, with a lovely open flower, lightly scented but stronger in the sun.  The buds open an apricot colour but then age to a creamy white.

Lysimachia Clethroides has already featured, but i do like the white flowers which gracefully arch.

This is a tricolour hibiscus.  It has blue, white and pink flowers on one plant.  I do like these plants and would have more of them, but as space is tight, I thought this would be a good option.  I was a little disappointed that it was a semi-double as they are not that good for pollinators, but I have seen a bee successfully negotiating the extra petals, so perhaps it won't be as bad as I thought.

Here's the white flower...

 ...and the pink.  I look forward to seeing this grow and will try to keep it under control.  

In a 'normal' year, I would have bought plants at the gardens and flower shows I visited, but I am pleased with my new plants and hope they will all do well for me.
