Pink Double Delight is a low growing and double echinacea and one of my favourites.
The white stokesia is a fab plant, tough as old boots and very floriferous.
I only go for perennials, incase you're wondering why that's all there is.

Lovely pic's Louise, your Siebaldii is it self clinging or do you tie it in ?? I have a small one growing in the greenhouse.  |

I think when I planted mine I tied it in to start with, Lesley, then it grew up the trellis and clung on.

do your Echinaceas come back each year? I just can't seem to get mine to grow after the first year, they fizzle out even good sized plants  |

Lovely pic's Louise, your Siebaldii is it self clinging or do you tie it in ?? I have a small one growing in the greenhouse. It clings to the photinia itself, Les. Only when it was first planted and i'd angled it towards the shrub did i tie it to a stake at the base but from there it entwined itself - as it should. I have another in the front garden and that one twines around an eleagnus and the escallonia hedge - always clinging, never tied in. |

I know I probably don't need to ask - but have your Gauras survived?

Lovely selection Louise, I've got 3 seeds I planted of Cobaea growing in the green house, are they hardy plants ??
I've also noticed today that my Tricyrti is shooting never grown these 2 before. ;D
