Salvia curviflora. This one is in a pot, ready to go into our greenhouse when it get gets colder. We do have it in the garden too, but it's not hardy here, unfortunately. Beautiful Magenta flowers and sage green leaves. Great for bees and butterflies.

Look what Ian found whilst we were in Shrewsbury City Centre! A vinyl record shop. It took us back to the good old days! One happy husband. 😊😊

If, like here, it's gloomy again, your day will need some brightening up. So here's a selection of fiery reds and oranges for #SixOnSaturday

There's no doubt about it - 'So Cool Cream' is a remarkable Salvia.

Most of our roses have flowered out for this season, but not this brilliant patio rose, 'Lovely Bride', which is still flowering freely and has loads more buds to come. Have a great Sunday!

Some pinks salvias to brighten up your Monday!

Today's job.. Cutting back the shrubby Salvias... Pictures of before and after the big chop... Our green waste bin smells divine..

Derriennebell Bell These are our stock plants in pots, which will be going into the greenhouse for the winter. We cut off the flowers as they are prone to getting botrytis inside in colder weather. Outside, they should be deadheaded ONLY at the end of the season, with the proper prune in Spring.

The beautiful late flowering Heath Aster, Symphyotrichum Snow Flurry is looking good. Lot's still available in the nursery. #peatfreeplants

They've done such a huge amount to bring rare plants within reach of so many gardeners who were unaware that they ever existed! Thank you both 💚

🌿Helen Brown Thank you Helen for your lovely comment. We hope we have left it in a good place for our successors to carry it on. 😊😊

In remembrance of those who gave so much. 🌺
