As I rushed past my garden this morning (which is happening a lot at the moment) I had to stop and admire a part of my sunny bed that has suddenly come together and that makes me happy!
My pleasing combination is Heuchera Liquorice, Geranium sanguineum and Allium Roseum with a touch of Purple Sage in the fore ground, Allium Christophii and a very small French Lavender further back, and right at the back is a Cardoon and Dark Honeysuckle rampaging through a Philadelphus which is not yet flowering. Sadly the Iris's that are half way back on the right are over now, but the Allium Christophii are taking over from them.

So that brightened my day, and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Allium roseum is a stunner! I should really have another go at growing them.. if only our mice weren't partial to them too :(
ReplyDeleteRoseum is the Allium that throws best for me, and it self seeds. The Christophii I have to replace every 3 yrs or so. Thankfully I don't have a mouse problem, and the slugs that ransack my garden don't seem partial to the onion family!!! Hurrah!
