Plants for next year

At this time of year, I begin to find it difficult to access the garden. Seedlings are developing, and taking up all available space outside the back door.

I'm trying the following for the first time this year:

Lychnis x arkwrightii 'Vesuvius', bronzy maroon foliage and molten orange flowers.

Digitalis stewartii, long thin spires of old gold/orange flowers, 4-6ft tall.

Santolina chamaecyparissus 'Santa', uniform mounds of grey green foliage.

Kniphofia caulescens, arching blue green leaves with tightly packed coral-red flower buds

All seem trouble free and easy to grow.

These, together with white Foxgloves and Verbascums, various Euphorbias and Lychnis
coronaria will be planted out in September to take their chance over the winter and will hopefully provide a good summer display next year.

One thing is for sure - I need a bigger garden!
