I love the way Cosmos turn their sweet faces to the sun in the early mornings. This tall dark pink is Dazzler grown from seed and the mid pink one ‘Xsenia’ also grown from seed collected in the garden last Autumn.
Growing alongside Cosmos is Aster Frikartii Monch another favourite of mine.
The Phlox have been lovely filling the garden with colour and scent. I have cut back the first blooms as they went over and new flowers will appear before too long.
The Summer pots are still flowering well with the pink daisies on a second bloom after I cut them back a few weeks ago.
Another favourite for August are Penstemons, much loved by the bees. I have a variety of them including Rich Ruby, Apple Blossom, Alice Hindley and a bright pink one. Pentstemons are easy to grow and take cuttings from in Autumn. They will go on flowering as will the Cosmos until the first frosts.
Best wishes to Sage membership
