Yesterday was spent shopping for a client at the lovely Bodmin Nursery and their displays were inspirational. At a time of year when everyone is preparing for the end of the growing year they were stuffed full of colour, interest and fantastic combinations.
I can't name all the plants in these pictures (we were meant to be working!) but I'll try and identify the key heroes.
Lovely fiery Rudbeckia and cool Verbena Bonariensis (a short cultivar!) with spires of white. I couldn't get to these to identify them, if you can help I'd be very grateful.
Daisy-like Asters and spires of Agastache with an amazing variety of greenery, from tall and waving, upright and strappy, to soft and creeping.
A patchwork of dark Ajuga, silvery Stachys, starry blue Seratostigma and Echinacea seedlings.
Tall Agastache, Erysimum Bowles Mauve and Verbena Bonariensis mixed with Alchemilla Mollis, Cineraria, Euphorbia and arching grasses.
A lovely example of 'Prairie style' planting mixing herbaceous perennials with tall grasses. A glorious mix of colour and texture and informal, or even untidy, in the best possible way!
Drifts of Verbena Bonariensis, covered in bees.
Needless to say the double trolley system was in practice, one for the client, one for us!
