Bistorta amplexicaulis 'Firetail'

Still looks really good in late October - for late season colour, it takes some beating.

Verbena hastata f. 'Rosea'

Planted in sunny bed with free draining soil. Plant adds height and flowers for a long period, attractive to bees.

Geranium Dreamland

This is a really useful ground cover geranium that likes to spread itself about without being too much of a thug and it just keeps flowering.

Erigeron karvinskianus

Perfect tumbling over the edges of a border or raised beds. They spread easily and will pop up all over the place. I love these robust dancing flower heads flowering for months on end.

Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus'

Beautiful when back lit by the sun. It even seems unphased by my cat who insists on jumping in it. A good value plant that won't let you down.

Rudbeckia

With their warm golden flowers, rudbeckias are made for late summer. They thrive in sunny gardens and bring an instant hit of colour now, carrying borders beautifully through the weeks ahead.
