The flowers of Camassia leichtlinii 'Semiplena' have been coming into flowers over the past few weeks. The upright stems have been described as resembling huge sparkler wands. This is an easy clump-forming, bulbous perennial to add to a border.

We developed a mixed woody border to screen this home from street activity, creating an interesting, four season landscape that brings great pleasure to our client's everyday life. The lawn is beautifully managed by @oldglorylandscaping #mixedborder #gardening #gardendesigner #finegardening #landscape #landscapegardening #professionalhorticulturist

This amazing Paeonia cultivar was purchased from a market stall. It has grown and flowered wonderfully in the garden despite exposure to some cold winds which are not ideal for a tree peony.

The shrub roses are still providing a display, here Rosa 'Erfurt' (rose) has clusters of semi-double clear pink flowers with a white zone surrounding golden anthers. The flowers were filling the air with fragrance and will be followed by rounded green then orange-red fruits (hips). This reliable, repeat-flowering shrub has been available since 1939.

Even on a late autumn day the foliage Astelia chathamica 'Silver Shadow' (silver spear) was the star of several borders at Great Dixter, Sussex. This clump-forming perennial has dramatic silver foliage and needs a sheltered spot in a moist but well-drained, fertile soil in full sun or partial shade.

The strong horizontals of this planting combined with the changes in colour and texture provide winter interest. This is a large scale planting of the herbaceous perennial Hylotelephium (Herbstfreude Group) 'Herbstfreude' (stonecrop, sedum) and the ornamental grass Calamagrostis × acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' (feather reed-grass).

The large flowerheads of Dahlia 'Penhill Watermelon' provide magnificent bursts of curvy, fresh watermelon-toned petals. This plant is a half-hardy perennial and so the tubers will need to be overwintered in a frost-free place.

The deciduous shrub Sambucus nigra f. porphyrophylla 'Eva' (elder, ‘Black Lace’) has deeply dissected purplish-black foliage from spring to autumn. In the summer this plant has flat umbels of small pinkish flowers and can be followed by purple-black berries. Here this shrub is seen in a container and in a garden border where it looked handsome with a vibrant flowered herbaceous Persicaria cultivar (bistort).
