In my round up off plants which have survived well during the summer, I totally forgot to mention these. They are Japanese anemone Bressingham Glow and just behind you can see the lovely variegated jasmine, Jasminium officinale Argentovariegatum/Variegatum. This plant rarely gets a mention but has been a stalwart of the border for many years and flowered beautifully this year.
These plants got no extra water at all and are in a sunny, south facing, dry raised border.
A very colourful combination to enjoy!
Awwwww.... she's beautiful. I love survivor stories of all kinds!! :-) ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andrea. There have been some really good survivors in the garden and they deserve to be celebrated!

Gorgeous flowers Ellie, I am glad to hear they are a survivor.
ReplyDeleteThanks, sustainablemum. It's good to know that there are some plants which will survive the temperatures we have had this summer.

Ooooh, they are lovely Ellie! I may have to add one to one of my dry borders x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lulu. I thought that japanese anemones liked some moisture, but this one is in a rubbish piece of border and is swamped by the jasmine every year. It is still flowering away and looking lovely.
