The 'Delargo Towers' Garden - September.


September has been and gone,  but these photos were all taken mid-month.


We did well for late Summer colour.




and the two beds are looking good.


We even managed to fill the back of the garden


The apple trees have every disease going but were full off little apples and made a good support for Nasturtiums.






The pots are filling space everywhere else.


and are home to the massive Dahlia Imperialis; no flowers yet !



Coboea scandens


A single enormous Nasturtium  filling the back border


We have plenty of newbies this year - Penstemon mixed colours – "Cottage Garden variety"


Salvia patens “Patio Deep Blue”


Perovskia atriplicifolia “Blue Spire” (Russian Sage)


Salvia longispicata x farinacea "Mystic Blue"





the Cosmos (bipinnatus 'Sensation Mixed') are the best we have ever had and looking fab heading into October.


a new dark Osteospermum


Lobelia “Fan Burgundy”

Another Dahlia ('Bishop's Children') worth keeping


The Night-scented Phlox (Zaluzianskya ovata) is a tiny plant but has tons of wonderful perfume.


Verbena "Aztec - Pink Magic"



The long awaited Ipomoea (Morning Glory) “Heavenly Blue” had just come into flower in time for this post; more next month we hope.


We don't usually post photos of the indoor plants but a second flowering of the Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) is an exception.


To close, we have a quick look inside our plastic greenhouse. The Fuchsia cuttings are doing nicely as are the little plantlets we got on special offer. They were tiny but are growing away as we speak.

    Coreopsis 'Golden Joy'

    Armeria 'Ballerina' mixed

    Verbena bonariensis

    Aquilegia 'Swan' mixed

    Geum 'Blazing Sunset'

    Scabiosa 'Blue Jeans'

They are all hardy so fingers crossed. Work has already started on moving the wallflowers we grew from seed last Spring, so stay tuned for the next post, which with a little luck might be on time
