It’s already a bit late in the season to be getting to the garden centre but there was still plenty of beauty!  I always put some annuals out front, usually some dark red geraniums and some purple wave petunias, neither of which were available so I made some new choices. What’s funny is that I didn’t even notice that I had picked the same  colour scheme! I guess I just like it, especially against the green of our house.

Verbena Hybrid  – Lanai Dark Red Verbena (annual)

Salvia longispicata x farinacea – Mystic Spires, Blue Salvia (perennial)

Euphorbia Hybrid – ‘Star Dust Super Flash” Euphorbia (annual)

Delphinium elatum – “Guardian Lavender” Delphinium (perennial)

Pieris japonica – ‘Brouwer’s Beauty’ Japanese Pieris (shrub)

These give me a sense of serenity and sanctuary just looking at them. Tomorrow I’ll get them in the ground and let them start the process of making our garden home.

What are you planting in your garden this year?
