Most years I treat myself to a new dahlia and so it was that this beauty caught my eye at a nursery last month
A full summer of flowers
t’s always exciting to be given a blank canvas to plant up.
Galega officinalis ‘Alba’ – Goat’s Rue
An unusual, bushy perennial with pinnate leaves and pea-like white flowers that form short spikes.
Clematis ‘Romantika’
The velvety deep purple flowers are almost black when they first open – the perfect backcloth for their pale yellow stamens.
Clematis viticella ‘Blue Angel’
A beautiful, reliable clematis, producing flowers from June to September
