Garden Blogger's Bloom Day August 15, 2013

Welcome to What's Blooming Now, for other posts click on this link for hostess Carol's May Dreams Gardens.  A few roses are still blooming, like Red Ribbons-


Apricot Nectar-

Marie Pavie-

Sweet Chariot mini-

Queen of my roses, Zephirine Drouhin-


My 10 year old Phlox paniculata, which the deer don't bother-

It has done so well that I bought more Phlox this year, Purple Paradise-

and Coral Flame-

Yarrow 'Cassis' and Hardy Geranium 'Rozanne'

Annual Browallia has amazed me with it's blooms and bushy habit, a real keeper-


Agastache rugosa has a lot of presence in the garden at 4 feet or more-


Oregano makes delightful dense clumps and thrives in poor dry soils and on our ramp.

Anemone japonica and tomentosa are beginning to bloom,  Platycodon 'Hakone Double' bloomed for the first time, Echinaceas, Gladioli, Honeysuckle, Rose of Sharon, Musk Mallow, Nasturtiums, Larkspur, Liatris, ever-blooming Daphne 'Summer Ice', a few straggling Clematis, mints, Crocosmia (Montbretia), and Fireweed are also blooming.

I hope you are having a great summer,  Hannah

    You have lovely Flowers in your garden. I love the Browallia and it is easy to plant as they take root easily. I used to have lots of them but they have become extinct now due to gross neglect.

      Thanks, perhaps I will try taking some cuttings to overwinter in the house. They were super easy from seed. I hope they will self-sow.

    I wasn't a Phlox fan, but your photos are so lovely!

    Your roses and flowers are beautiful. I have never heard of Browallia ~ it looks like a keeper to me too.

    You have some gorgeous roses. I need to add more phlox since it is deer proof that's a bonus.

    I do wish I could grow 'Rozanne'. But those geraniums just do not do well here. Yours looks lovely. And the roses too! Aren't those phlox great?

      I'm surprised you can't grow hardy geraniums. Can you grow Pelargoniums in the ground over winter? I have one that I keep as a house plant but they wouldn't overwinter here.

      I'm really impressed with the Phlox, they seem really reliable. I tried P. divaricata, pilosa, and annual ones this year too.
