| 'Happy Returns' Daylily |
This is my driveway bed. The roses are not blooming as I have had a thripe infestation and deaheaded all the roses and buds. Upfront is 'Lamarque' with some daylilies that I forgot the name of. The rose to the left of that is 'Dutcher' with Mealy Cup Sage in front.

| Taken several weeks back, we have Climbing Pinkie in the corner and Blush Noisette up front. |
 |
| Close up of Cl. Pinkies flowers, I love how they change color! |
 |
| Foxgloves I grew from seed. I just love them! |
 |
| Foxgloves with Belinda's Dream behind it and behind that is The Charlestonian |
 |
'The Charlestonian'
This rose is a favorite of mine, wonderful strong fragrance, vigerous climber, excellent disease resistance. |

Mealy Cup Sage, also known as Blue Salvia.
Mealy Cup Sage is a wonderful plant and makes an excellent border plant. It is grown as an annual in some parts of the country but here in my zone 8 garden in over winters just fine and returns year after year. It blooms all summer and is attractive to bees. It likes sun to part shade. A very easy to grow plant! |

| Nepta 'Walkers Low', I use this everywhere in the garden, love it! |
 |
| Clematis 'Franziska Maria' this and the other clematis are new for me, this is there second year. This is pruning type 2. Big blue-purple beautiful flowers around 4-6" across. Blooms June-September and grows 5-7'. I have it growing up 'Sombrueil'. |
 |
| Hollyhocks, sadly this year they are not doing good at all. The rust this year has been really bad! Not sure why. I plan to rip these out and start all over with new plants. Sad because the Hollyhocks are my favorite old fashion cottage garden plant. |
That's it for now!
Everything looks so good! I love foxglove and hollyhocks too.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible garden! I don't grow foxglove, as I heard it was poisonous to pets. Love yours though -
