We are taking a look back at some of the late Summer-flowering plants that have brought colour, scent and joy to the Garden this Autumn for visitors and bees.
Some of these botanical stars are still flowering in pots and places and spaces throughout the Garden and include the bee magnet Cosmos, the many-coloured Morning Glory flowers, beautifully scented Abyssinian Gladioli, cheerful Rudbeckia and several Dahlia varieties. This year we grew the airy grass Panicum elegans ‘Sprinkles’ from seed, to tuck in among the containers of flowers. Our Butterfly Bush is still looking good and supporting lots of pollinators.
Thank you to Erola Arcalis for her beautiful record of late-flowering plants in the Curve Garden and to our Gardener Dean Young for creating such a magnificent flowering display.
