You’ve been work flipping hard on that. That’s exactly what I want my new flower beds to look like .The dark purple clematis is etoile violette - chop down in Spring and it bounces back.
I’m also a huge fan of that peach rose & that stunning dark purple clematis and everything else
£5 for 3 in Asda.
now I know the name I’ll keep an eye out for one a little closer to home

Absolutely fabulous borders Scarlet. Glorious
And thanks for naming the clematis. I have one but had lost the label, I just knew it was Violette something. Mine came from Aldi or Lidl!!

I've just bought myself some steel rods to make some supports for my plants.....wondering if I can wire up some kind of arches that won't fall down

Anyone grow gladioli?
I'm not super keen on the big ones but occasionally here I see the odd wild one - and I love the super bright pink. Anyway, I planted loads a couple of years ago hoping they would also gently self seed. They didn't come?!
They have popped up this year! I love them - I hope they do spread... it's difficult to take a good photo of this border - its a bit crammed and looks messy. But its filled with roses, lupins, alliums and nepeta. Now the glads are popping up!

Just incase anyone wants a read up on wild glads ^^^

I've said it before, but you learn something new every day. I have some, what I thought were magenta early crocosmia, but thanks to you Scarlet, I think they're wild gladdies. They're not quite out here but definitely in bud and are spreading slowly. I will inspect the flowers when they come out to see if they are indeed gladioli
