Flowering in September
Looking for shrubs and plants to lighten up your garden in September?
Japanese anemones are still flowering well, illustrated is A. hupehensis Splendens, with soft mauve flowers. Lovely though the J Anemones are, take care where you plant them as they are very vigorous and spread easily.
Sedums are so popular with butterflies that they land on them even before the flowers have opened. Check out my short video, which shows just how much a pollinator magnet Sedums are. It's amazing to see all the bees and butterflies which are drawn to Sedums.
Wonderful, bright orange of heleniums adds lots of late summer colour and are a favourite of bees.
