The weekend saw us plant trough loads of summer bulbs and root cuttings. Some of the bulbs and tubers (irises, dahlias) were not winter hardy so we planted them in pots so they can be overwintered.
The remaining needed soaking for 3-4 hours, and after a good soak, we planted them within various gaps in the borders. Delphiniums in blue, mauve and white between the lavender. More delphiniums along with purple african lilies and pale pink primula alongside the fatsia and behind the ferns. Multi-coloured lupin in the shade of the ceanothus along with white coneflowers. A yellow rudbeckia squeezed in between the clematis. Four crimson aquilegia in the new border along the back wall. Also sharing space with the aquilegia are some pink coneflowers. The pink astrantia made it to the front border near the oriental poppies.
