Much like the previous month, July is a time of plenty in the garden and the borders are brimming with flowers. Given a deadhead, lupins and spring geraniums will be offering the last of their flowers, alongside other perennials such as campanulas, hemerocallis, monardas and phlox, all of which are in their prime. Many shrubs also throw their hat into the ring with cistus, hypericum and weigela all flowering profusely.
I particularly love ‘Grace’ and arching floral sprays of ‘Diabolo’. Also joining the party are annuals including and . These will continue with gusto, bridging the August gap before the late summer perennials arrive.
